Huy Nguyen is King of the Palace! Nguyen won the Caesars Palace Classic Main Event Monday night - besting an impressive 520 player field. The field included a very solid final table that included the likes of Justin Young, Jamie Kaplan and Steve Billirakis.
Billirakis proved to be Nguyen's strongest competition, Billirakis was the last player standing in the way of his second tournament victory of the 2011 season.
Nguyen had won the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event earlier in 2011. He defeated 807 other runners in that tournament back in Oklahoma in January - certainly two very impressive results for him this season ...
