Biography-
Born in Vietnam, the famous poker pro was actually brought up by a host family of US. But Scotty found it unappealing and decided to go for another host family. Soon his request was accepted and he became the member of another family who lived in Chicago. The family tried its best to give him quality education but unfortunately he was expelled from his school due to his ignorance towards studies.
Soon he moved to Vegas where he attended dealer school and was employed as card dealer at Harrah’s poker room. He picked up the job of cleaning tables at a casino. While working there he realized his passion for poker. It came as a turning point to his life and from then he never looked back.
Over the years, Scotty has lost and re-build his bankroll many times. He has cashed in many tournaments, which include about 40 WSOP tournaments, dozens of WPT events and a lot more.
With his continuous hard work, he has earned the title of Prince of Poker and still trying his best to give his fans- a good game, a good show!
