Perry Friedman was all in preflop in a four way pot with Scotty Nguyen, Kevin Iacofano and Michael Mizrachi. On a flop it was checked to the button Mizrachi who bet, Nguyen check-raised and Iacofano folded. Mizrachi folded and Nguyen bet out on the turn declaring, "Raise it up baby."
Mizrachi sighed, "My spades are no good," mucking a nine-high flush draw.
"Of course, they're no good baby!" said Nguyen as he turned over for the nut flush draw. Friedman, who was all in blind flipped - a decent, and more importantly, ahead hand.
"I just want an ace baby!" said Nguyen and even when it was pointed out he couldn't win with an ace, he didn't care saying, "just give me an ace baby."
The river was the and Nguyen made the nut flush despite the number of spades already out of action.
Scotty Nguyen raised from under the gun, and it folded around to Perry Friedman who called from the big blind. The pair would follow the same routine on the flop, the turn, and the river, with Friedman check-calling Nguyen's bets on each street. The last call came after some deliberation, as it only left Friedman just 1,000 chips behind.
Nguyen showed for tens and kings, and Friedman showed two of his cards -- -- before mucking.
"I thought you had something like that, baby," said a grinning Nguyen. "I set him up, baby!"
Friedman is likely not long for this one, while Nguyen is now up over 120,000.
Maya Roca Uribe had the bring in with the showing. Scotty Nyugen had an up and told Uribe, "I complete blind, baby," doing so without checking his hole cards.
The pair followed a similar routine the next three streets with Nguyen catching two low cards, then another ace, and each time saying "I bet blind, baby." Uribe called on each street until he was all in for his last 8,000 on sixth.
