Last week Nguyen took down the $300 No-Limit Hold'em event for $65,700 and then two days later added another first place finish in $500 Omaha Hi/Lo for $20,000. The No-Limit event drew 253 players while Nguyen had to get through 112 in Omaha Hi/Lo.

Nguyen is well know for his success playing poker in the City of Angels and If you look up his tournament results in L.A. you will see pages of final tables and over 39 first place finishes.

Nguyen's story is well known across the poker circuit having left Vietnam in 1978 to come to the U.S. and eventually hitting it big in the world of poker.

It's been a pretty good year for the Nguyen family as Men's wife Van won the WPT Invitational event becoming, arguably, the first female WPT winner.

The 2008 edition of Legends already had one famous winner in Barbara Enright, who won the $300 Ladies Event.

The grand finale of the series, which takes entirely at the Bicycle Casino in L.A., will be the 2008 $9,500+$500 WPT Legends of Poker.

Last year Tom Schneider, David Pham, Dan Harrington all made the final before "Action" Dan eventually outlasted the "Dragon" to take down a first place prize of $1.6 million.

The PokerListings.com tournament reporting crew will be on location so remember to check out the action in our live tournaments section starting this coming Saturday.
