Thuan "Scotty" "The Train" Nguyen is a Vietnamese American professional poker player. Nguyen is one of the most active players in professional poker today, and from 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in more than 100 events. He won the 1998 World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event and has 4 WSOP bracelets overall.

Nguyen is noted for saying "baby" and "yeah baby" occasionally during poker matches as well as playing with lots of emotion. He also has coined the phrase "That's poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. On the final hand of the 1998 World Series of Poker's main event, Nguyen made the memorable quote to his opponent Kevin McBride: "You call and it's all over, baby." McBride called, and it was all over.

Nguyen made an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in April 2004.

After making several World Poker Tour (WPT) final tables, Nguyen eventually won a WPT event in January 2006, defeating Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi heads-up in the fourth season Gold Strike World Poker Open.

As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,920,000.
