Stewart Scott Celebrates a Loss

[user75032]

We came to the table to see a three-way pot building. The under-the-gun player had moved his short stack all in and was called in one spot before Stewart Scott made a large reraise for more than 50,000 chips. The player in between, who had called the initial raise, tanked for about a minute before folding.

"Do you have a pair?" Scott asked the all-in player. He opened {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. His opponent did have a pair, but it was smaller -- {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

. Neither player improved on the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

flop, but Scott's opponent spiked a set when the turn fell {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. Scott initially thought he had won the hand, and his opponent initially thought he had lost, when the river fell a fourth club, the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

, but closer inspection revealed that it was a repeater that gave his opponent a full house.

Scott still has about 200,000 chips.
