Exclusive: Men 'The Master' Nguyen Breaks Silence on WSOP Controversy | PokerNews Podcast #837

How much did Men the master pay for this video

I just don’t understand how everyone is given the dealer and the floor person that’s standing right there a pass-this is hundred percent the dealers fault, regardless of his background the dealer is 100% at fault.

10 y ago at Tropicana Men was frying fish in his room,I told him he can't do that, then he asked me "you wanna step outside punk" lol

A cheater will NEVER say he's cheating.

Men knew what he was doing.

Dealer and floor should be fired immediately and min should be banned easy and simple as that. What a horrible look for the wsop

It looks like the dealer is at fault. In the second video they call the floor over because the dealer had difficulty counting the short stacks chips.

Thank you for these videos! I’m off Twitter and Insta, so not only are these great updates, but they’re very detailed.

Jack Eiffel should focus on his staff rather than is body. So many incompetent people working for the WSOP.

lol funny to see this guy defending this player when there is cero doubt he did it. He has been caught cheating before and the alcohol excuse makes no sense. The guy knew what he was doing and took advantage of him. I am a WSOP dealer and obviously recognize it is the dealers fault as well as the floor but this is not an isolated case with "The Master". As anyone in the poker wold abut him and you will get the same opinion. The guy has been accused of marking cards, angling, passing chips, etc.

Where couldn’t they figure it out with millions of cameras in there??

But they knew the chip count before the hand so minus the 4.5 from both stacks of the losing hands simple math

Pulling back your chips after you lose a hand is absolutely incorrect. Do not touch your chips until the dealer pushes them back or gives you the direction to pull them back.

There are consequences in life. When you get caught stealing/cheating you dont deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I am both a long time poker player as well as a traveling poker dealer who has dealt at the World Series of poker over the years in both circuit events as well as the series in Vegas. In my opinion there is absolutely no fault to the player in this situation. It’s the dealers job to make sure the pot is correct especially in a 3 way all in when there is a short stack involved. At a min the dealer should have at least got the main pot correct and then dealt with the side pot when the hand is finished. Before the dealer put out the flop she should have took the short stacks 4.5 bigs or whatever it was and took in those chips from the other 2 players and made a main pot. And you are correct about in a cash game say someone goes all in for 5k and someone says call I make it a point before the cards are shown I make the players who are in the pot I make them push there stacks over the betting line bc once the chips are pushed over the betting line no player can just take there chips and walk away without paying bc the chips are considered “in the pot l” and now the casino has discretion to make him pay. If they just say call and see they are beat they can just get up and walk to the cage and there is nothing the casino is legally able to do about it besides ban that player. I have seen fist fights because this happened over a 300 all in bet on the river and a snap call and the guy who snap called turned over his hand with the nuts and the guy who jammed just stood up took his chips and walked away. The other guy yelled for the floor and the floor told him legally they are not allowed to stop him and he shouldn’t of exposed his winning hand first and should of waited for him to show his cards and gave the dealer the chance to bring in the man’s chips. After witnessing that hand whenever I play now I always ask the dealer to pull in the chips even if I have the nuts on the river to an all in bet to protect myself

If my math and positions are correct the guy Brian had 4,525,000 utg the button raises small blind folds and bb jams and button calls correct? So there should have been 500k from SB out there and the BB 1,000,000 ante is in the middle so 1.5 million pulled in already. So the guy Brian’s stack 4,575,000 times 3 is 13,725,000 plus the 1.5 million that was pulled in already should have been 15,225,000 total. More than a triple up being that the million ante and the 500k small blind fold. Idk how much he ended up being short but when you break down the value of how much those chips are worth per buy in if u started with 30k in chips and say your short 1 million just for example that’s over 33 buy ins. That’s over $10,000 in chip value @ $300 per 30k yanno? Might not seem like a huge deal but it’s $10,000 bucks in chips which is huge 💯

This is what happens when the dealer doesn’t make the main pot before finishing the hand.

This was blatantly wrong and especially since he has history he should be banned… just because you did an interview and like him is not an excuse to defend his actions

Where there is smoke 34 different times there is a fire.

Why didn't the dealer pull in all the main-pot chips into the main pot, then deal with the side pot?????? Taking this short-cut of "I'll settle it when the dealing is done" has cost a lot of players lots of money at many card rooms that I've been in.
