“I can’t wait to get up to the Peppermill in Reno,” Nguyen said. “I’ve been hearing about Poker Night in America so when they asked me to come to be on the show, I said ‘deal me in, baby’.”
Nguyen will join an exciting and eclectic mix of fellow poker pros and hopefuls, who will transform Peppermill Reno into the setting for what amounts to a poker reality show. The list of confirmed player participants includes Eli Elezra, David “ODB” Baker, Tom Schneider, Todd Brunson, Jason Somerville, Greg “FBT” Mueller, Josh Prager, David Lin, Matt Berkey, Al Adler, Mark Bonsack, Lauren Billings, Karina Jett, Danielle Anderson, Dustin Fox, Natasha Barbour, Hank Czernecki, and Robert Herman.
