The pre-flop at the WSOP 1998 finals came with J♦ 9♣ to Scotty Nguyen and Q♥ T♥ to Kevin McBride. Kevin decided to raise $50.000 and Nguyen called.

The flop brought 8♣ 9♦ 9♥ giving a three-pair to Nguyen, but Scotty didn't raise – he check-called once again. Thus, McBride tried to bluff his hand in and bet $100.000. Nguyen called. The turn gave Nguyen a full house with an 8♥. Nguyen checked again, and McBride bet another $100.000.

McBride needed a Jack, but the river came with an 8♠, giving Nguyen a higher full house. Scotty took the advantage and bet $310.000, which meant McBride had to move all-in if he wanted the pot. While McBride was thinking over his next action, Scotty said: “You call and it's over baby.” Kevin replied ”I call. I play the board.”

McBride thought it would be a split pot, but he was wrong – Scotty Nguyen took $1.000.000 prize money and left the table being the WSOP 1998 World Champion.
