I watched it tonight and I was sickened by what I saw from scotty.  Let me break it down a little bit so you can understand why I was so disappointed by this.  
 
The Chip Reese trophy is one of the most prestigous events to win in all of poker.  Scotty not only got incredibly drunk right after ESPN showed the whole spiel on him donking off last year and talking about how he was really going to focus this year, but he also SOFTPLAYED.  I couldn't believe I saw him softplay a hand against Erick it made me sick to my stomach.  Not only is that horrible for the game of poker in general, but how disrespectful was he to the memory of Chip Reese.  Berating waitresses and players, binge drinking, cheating (softplaying is cheating), flashing cards around in a hand, and having layne flack come to the table to give him some love in the middle of a hand.  I was sitting there like WTF.  It was sad to watch an award named after not only one of the best players ever, but one of the most respectful and kind poker players ever be won in such a matter.  Never again will I play any of the Scotty Nguyen annual tournaments in Oklahoma again, and I hope no one else does either.
