2010-06-07 13:07:20

Men 'the Master' Nguyen consolidated his reputation as one of the best players on the circuit by claiming his seventh World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet.

The Vietnamese-born star triumphed in the ninth event of the competition, which was the Seven-Card Stud World Championship and took home $394,807 as a result.

It will be all the sweeter for the Master - who was one of the most dominant players on tour in the 90s - as it represents his first WSOP title in seven years and it puts him joint-sixth on the all-time list.

Brandon Adams came second, while Michael Mizrachi and Vladimir Schmelev became the first two card sharps to make multiple final tables in 2010.

Nguyen has won Card Player Magazine's Player of the Year award an unequaled four times – in 1997, 2001, 2003, and 2005.

The poker professional is known to donate a portion of his winnings from every poker tournaments to charity.
