Scotty Nguyen has joined the ranks of fallen soldiers, both other eliminated players and the line of empty beer cans around the final table, going out in second and taking home $110,731.

Eli Elezra, meanwhile, has taken down his first WSOP bracelet, $198,984 and this year's SCSHLEOB World Championship. In the final hand of the match, with the chip advantage still clearly on Elezra's side, Nguyen found himself all-in after the first deal with (7-7)-A. Elezra held (K-Q)-T and was looking to improve.

By sixth street Nguyen was still in the lead with (7-7)-A-2-T-Q and Elezra looking to pair up or hit his open-ended straight draw showing (K-Q)-T-7-3-J. The river was dealt and Elezra received an ace, making the broadway straight and eliminating the Prince of Poker in second.

The two friends exchanged an embrace and Nguyen congratulated Elezra on his victory. It appeared that Nguyen was genuinely happy for Elezra, as evidenced by the ear to ear grin plastered on his face. But bear in mind, Scotty also had a fair amount to drink tonight!

Madcap SCSHLEOB Action

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a zoo. Eli Elezra and Scotty Nguyen are downing beer glass over glass and, as Elezra shouted to the crowd, "There is no pain when you're drinking!"

It's certainly the most informal heads-up match PokerListings.com has seen in a while, with a drunken Elezra doing unusual things like checking out Nguyen's hole cards, destroying Nguyen's chip stack, attempting to "Cheers" Scotty on every street, and, oh yeah, trying on the WSOP bracelet before the jewelry was his - while Nguyen had the chip lead, in fact!

All of Elezra's antics - and those of his supporters - appeared to be putting Nguyen on tilt, as The Prince of Poker was down to his last $200,000 in chips to Elezra's $1.2 million before he doubled up, scooping a long and involved pot with a pair of nines and an 8-6 low to Elezra's 8-7 low.

Drink Up!

You're Cut Off!

Shortly after doubling through a very drunk Elezra, Nguyen tells his opponent, "I really want to respect you as a player, and I don't want to beat you this way." He asks the tournament director to cut off cocktail service to Elezra. "On second thought," he adds, "maybe I should be cut off too."

Nguyen pours half of his beer into Elezra's cup and the two players resolve, apparently, to cease drinking and maybe even play serious poker.

Chip Counts

The chip counts at the moment have Elezra up $1.076 million to Nguyen's $341,000.
