This week a new scandal has rocked the poker world. Men Nguyen, also known as Men The Master, has been accused of stealing millions of chips during a WSOP tournament. In fact, the field was getting very close to the final table, with huge sums of money on the line. It doesn't get much more high stakes than this. With a colorful history, and numerous accusations in the past, Men has not been receiving the benefit of the doubt from the community. Today we have video evidence and exclusive testimony from witnesses. Let's get to the bottom of this.

@6thwilbury2331 Месяц назад

Your question is a great one. One thing Doug didn't mention (or maybe notice) is that the dealer was evidently struggling to count the chips for the main and side pots. We know this because when you turn up the audio on that video, you can hear someone call the floor over to help her count. It's only AFTER Nguyen pulls his chips back that we see the floor staffer walk over to lend a hand. Shady AF.

Poker dealer here. ALWAYS sort out your main pot BEFORE running out a board. If a player says "just rip it," the dealer should respond, "please allow me to make the pot right." And make the pot right first!! There are multiple side pots? Sort those first the run the board!

@fuhkerz Месяц назад

Maybe you can help me out since you used to deal.. It's been a few years since I played but I'd swear I've seen dealers leave large all-in bets in front of the player rather than moving everything into fhe pot. I could be crazy, but I just have this mental image of seeing players taking down their last bet after an all-in chop then being given their half of the pot that WAS in the middle. In which case, that could very well be what we see Men doing in this video. In that case, the mistake would be that the dealer just failed to pull the appropriate amount out of each stack to call Smittys bet for the main pot. Just a thought because at first it didn't seem unusual to me to see Men taking down his last bet given that the side pot chopped. Also, it seems like other people at the table would be screaming like crazy if he were straight up pulling the chips out of the pot when he wasn't supposed to. Even if the dealer somehow missed that, I doubt the whole table would have.

@motown867 Месяц назад

@@fuhkerz you are supposed bring all bets in. I am not going to lie, I have definitely left big stacks in front of the players, but it would still be my responsibility to make sure that players do not touch anything until the pot is settled. On the player side it is still the responsibility of the player to protect his interest at all times. The winning player should have been paying attention instead of celebrating.

@OhDearAudrey Месяц назад

Men "The Angle" Nguyen. I remember playing High Limit poker way back in the late 1990's. - 1998. I saw Men discreetly take a few chips off a player stack (player who left the table to take breaks) , especially when he had to pay the waitress or server there tips. Off to the side, I alerted the poker room manager and he said Men knew the player and he was ordering him something for him too. Ok...Thats what I get trying to be the table police. A few hands later Men moved or cashed out. When Men left the table he glared at me and said something in Vietnamese. Later 3 different Asian / Vietnamese dudes kept following me. So there you go.....

A lot of it depends on who the players are. This happened in a cash game my friend was playing last year. When two players with explosive tempers got into an argument. When one of them started moaning about bad beats despite the fact he was winning a lot and put a couple of nasty coolers on other players at the table. Understandably one of the players who plays a ton of roulette didn't take kindly to it given he was done a lot during the night, which escalated into a war of words, then chairs getting thrown and finally the game getting broken up. The casino then decided to ban the player who complaining about bad beats for a year, and took no action against the other player, because he was too valuable a customer for them.

This is what's confusing me, I used to be a croupier /dealer. One time a very good customer (friendly, funny, female) slapped my hand as a joke while I was dealing blackjack and she lost and I reached to pick up her bet. In my house that's fine. In the casino premises there are laws. One of them is never touch the dealer. (several reasons why not to from against cheating rulers to money laundering and safety). She was kicked out on the spot. Nobody was happy for doing so. Men shouldn't be allowed in the perimeter. I'm afraid to say but, if you're cheating for years and years in Vegas and still be able to walk in casinos, well, you might have friends in high places. In every aspect it's the casinos fault. 1. He shouldn't be allowed to play in first place. 2. Where is the pit boss when men pulls his stack back? 3. Why there is no pause-camera check-paying the player the correct amount? This is casino security. It's on the licence that you have to provide a safe environment for gaming.

@xerowolf4242 Месяц назад

Exactly this. I was really wondering the whole time why this wasn't mentioned. I know that Men has been known to shoot angles in the past, but he is really old and it's entirely possible that he didn't even realize what he was doing here. He tied for the side pot and would in fact just take his chips back and he could have easily assumed that the dealer already made the main pot right before he did this. That being said, he should have just given the chips up when it was pointed out that they were missing. He definitely is at fault at that point.

@fuhkerz Месяц назад

@@mrhumble2937That would have been the first bit of information they had when he went all-in. From there, it's pretty easy to figure out. There were 2.5m in from blinds and antes, then Smitty got called by 2 players on a 4.525m bet. So if, at the start of the next hand, Smitty had less than 16.075m, something is wrong. Given that the amount missing is basically equal to the amount of Smittys original stack, it seems likely that the dealer simply forgot to take that amount from one of the other two players all-in bets to settle up the main pot. So while I definitely would BET that Men did this, and did it intentionally, it's also possible that it was the other bigger stack or that Men didn't even notice that the dealer failed to take out the portion for the main pot.

We really can’t be surprised that Men was involved. Now let’s be clear, the fault lies with the dealer. The dealer did not maintain the pot or control the action appropriately. The dealer never brought all the money into the middle matching the small stack as they are taught to do. Men, being the enterprising player that he is, pulled his stack back because he noticed the dealer never pulled in the money. Another player and we can chalk it up to possibly being an honest mistake in all the excitement because people were distracted by a bust out. But with Men, there is absolutely no doubt he did this knowing exactly what he was doing. The man is scum.

The fact that they "reviewed the cameras" twice and _still_ pressed Foutty to put money in rather than demanding the chips from Men, tells me they had _no idea_ what happened at that table & when they got caught lacking by Smith rightly demanding a proper resolution, they scrambled for a solution that would be acceptable and stop further inquiry. I bet that footage of Nguyen that surfaced on Twitter had them sweating... Men's not even subtle about it. Not a good look for WSOP.

@kane_lives Месяц назад

I don't understand what Foutty did. Why did he give away the chips he did not owe? Is he just a doormat? Also, it seems like other players not involved in the hand said that Men owed the chips, but the floor did something bizarre instead? Is the floor a moron?

@6thwilbury2331 Месяц назад

To me, Men pulling the chips back isn't necessarily evidence of wrongdoing in itself. He had the largest stack of the three. When I first saw this, I sort of figured that's what had happened: the awarded the main pot, then split the side pot, which is what we see Men doing. As much as I don't like giving Men The Master the benefit of the doubt, I also like to spot any reasonable doubt that could get him off the hook. However, when watching the video later with the audio on, you can clearly hear someone call the floor over to help the dealer count out the two pots (main and side) AFTER the moment Men is seen pulling chips back in. That strikes me as shady no matter how you slice it. Shouldn't Men be leaving that alone to let the staff count?? The weird part is that this should never have affected Smith. Any dealers, please correct me, but it seems she (and the floor) should have first counted out Smith's stack, then pulled those same amounts from each of Foutty and Nguyen. Throw in the SB, BB and BB ante, then Smith has his 15 BB stack as it should be. If anything, it should have screwed up Poutty: when divvying up the split side pot, Men had already pulled some of his chips back, meaning the dealer splits a smaller amount than it should have. Regardless, I was absolutely hoping that there was camera footage FINALLY showing Men's cheating at the table. We've heard rumors and allegations for years now, but that's all they have been. Pretty disappointed nothing more came from this.

@jimbo98765 Месяц назад

Maybe pulling back chips can be seen as a bad look for Men now that there's this controversy. But he can pull chips back all he wants, he can pull some back and leave some out, what happens next I speculate is the dealer not really counting the pot and just pull the chips left out by Men. Stupid dealers, pretending to count. So sad, but players gotta do everything themselves in their own head and see if they agree with the pot size and watch out for any slack or cheating.

@rubbertoad3681 Месяц назад

These were my thoughts. There should have been a pot made with Brian's chips matched by the other 2 players with the blinds and antes included before any flop is done. There shouldn't have been any of Brian's potential chips in front of Men. If the side pot was not figured out before the flop, the dealer just has to grab the right amount of chips from the 2 players to match Brian's chips. I have no idea how this situation got to the point it did.

Indeed, the real crime is jamming J5s UTG this deep into such a large tournament 😮‍💨

@6thwilbury2331 Месяц назад

Meh, I understand it... 4.5x starting stack, plus the presence of the BBA affects both his fold equity now and the stack size he'll have on the next deal (2.5x). Mathematically, I think the bottom of the suited jack shoving range for that spot (4.5x, UTG, BBA) is more like J7s or J8s. J5s is obviously below that threshold, but it's not egregiously bad. If the table is playing tighter than it should - e.g. because everyone is getting reseated in a few minutes - maybe it widens the shoving range a click or two. Plus, Harrington wrote about that whole "first-in vig" eons ago. This might have also played into Smitty's decision, too.

@Chukk61 Месяц назад

The dealer should have first pulled in the $4.5 all in from the other 2 players for the main pot. Then determine which of those 2 had the least left and pull that amount into the side pot from the 2 remaining, motion for the balance to go back to the rightful owner and THEN finish dealing. Men is a known cheat and angle shooter, but if the dealer does the job correctly, it doesn't become a factor.

@TetrisPimp Месяц назад

@88mphDrBrown Месяц назад

I've seen a lot of single pot all ins where they just count what's effective, then divy it up after they know who won. Players probably prefer this so they spend half the time counting chips. The dealer definitely should've set the main pot before doing anything else. My guess is that with 20k entrees they probably hired and trained a bunch of dealers who had no experience.

Then proceeded to claim he gave them 5 chips and the player owes him 2 more 500k chips.

Clearly the brand new dealer didn’t square the pots before the all-in runout. Once the board was dealt, she either asked the players to take back the chopped side pot (which was never squared) or more likely, Men chose to revolve his own bet knowing the extra 4 million was still in his side pot stack which actually belonged in the main pot. Either way, Men knew exactly what he was doing. He’s been at this game far too long to feign ignorance.

At least in the US you should be able to have consequences for cheating.
