Five-time bracelet winner and 1998 Main Event Champion Scotty Nguyen will miss the first half of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as the Vietnamese-American poker icon recovers from surgery.
Nguyen, always a fan-favorite of WSOP, took to Twitter earlier this week to announce he was undergoing surgery for slipping rib syndrome, a condition that can cause severe chest pain in addition to "a slipping, clicking, or popping sensation in the lower chest," according to an article published in Psychopharmacology Bulletin.
But it's not all over, baby. Nguyen tweeted today to let his fans know that the surgery was a success and that he hopes to recover in time for the second half of the WSOP.

“I want to let you guys know the surgery (recovery) is going so well," Nguyen said in a video. "Right now, on both sides (it) is sore and swollen and I have trouble to get in and out of bed. But I have my wife, Julie, she (is) right there to help me sitting up or standing up.”
“I love all of you, baby. See you in the second half at the World Series in Vegas.”

“ZeroSumGame” raised in late position, and received calls from “Pizzalover21” on the button and “Pkrwarrior23” in the big blind.
Action then slowed when the flop produced 9♣8♥J♥, which saw all three players check. The Q♣ on the turn also didn’t prompt betting, as it checked around. The river saw A♣ on the board, and once again all three players checked.
“Pkrwarrior23” tabled K♥3x, while “ZeroSumGame” showed KxQx for a pair of queens. “Pizzalover21” mucked his hand, and the pot was awarded to “ZeroSumGame.”
