Scotty Bets Blind, Uribe Undone
Stud 8
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.

Nguyen had trip aces for a high, but no draw to a low, meaning Uribe could either make a low and chop or pick up a six for a straight and scoop if Nguyen didn't improve.
Nguyen turned over his seventh-street card first -- -- and Uribe squeezed his to find the for two pair. Uribe is out, and Nguyen up to 90,000.
