Danny Nguyen is widely considered one of the luckiest World Poker Tour winners of all time. Ever have a one half of one percent chance to win a hand and actually pull it off? Danny Nguyen did. In reality, while this hand was still a suckout, it wasn't as huge of one as it seemed, as all of the chips got in the pot when Nguyen still had a 30 percent chance to win. The order the cards came out, however, made for some great runner-runner excitement.
