Scott called a raise to 12,000 from a player in early position and the two took a flop of . Both players checked and the turn brought the . Again the action went check, check.
The river brought the and Scott's opponent checked a third time.
"All in," Scott said.
The early-position player folded and Scott raked in the pot.
"Don't play with me man," Scott warned the table. "If you don't have it, don't put your chips in the middle."
The man they call Dolo now sits with 135,000 chips.
Joseph Elpayaa opened to around 9,000 from middle position and the action folded to Jonathan Aguiar who shoved for his remaining 50,000 chips. Elpayaa called and the hands were tabled:
Elpayaa:
Aguiar:
"Oh no," Aguiar sighed even though he had Elpayaa dominated.
The flop fell .
"Here come running diamonds," Kevin Saul said from near our table.
(Notice how running diamonds mean nothing.)
The turn came the .
"Good game everyone," Aguiar said standing from the table.
Aguiar's reverse jinx worked, as a harmless fell on the river doubling him to 100,000 chips.
"We're about to have a big black color up," announced the TD, which was his rather idiosyncratic way of telling the players that it's time to color up the black-colored 100-denomination chips.
Players are on a 20 minute break while that happens.
Robert Scott open shoved for around 30,000 from under the gun and action folded to a player in middle position who isolated. Action folded to a woman in the small blind who tank folded and Eric Baldwin quickly released from the big blind.
Scott tabled and immediately began clapping. Loudly.
His opponent opened and the dealer wrapped the table before flopping .
The clapping got louder.
The fell on the turn.
Even louder.
Finally, the fell on the river and Scott exploded.
"YEAHHHHHHHHH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN 'BOUT! I AIN'T AFRAID TO DO THIS!!!!!!" he shouted at his friends on the rail.
As the chips were being counted, a tournament director swiftly moved in the calm Scott and give him a warning.
"We make the room shake," commented one of Scott's friends on the rail.
There was 45,000 in the pot and a flop reading when we strolled by the table to see Eric Baldwin check. Robert "E-Dolo" Scott on the button bet 25,000 at him.
Baldwin thought about it for a while, silently studying Scott, who stared silently right back at him. Then Baldwin declared, "All in."
Instafold.
Scott dropped to just 32,000. Baldwin is doing rather better on 190,000.
Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul is hanging out by our table railing his friends Eric Baldwin and Jared Hamby. Here are some of the highlights:
Saul (to cocktail waitress): Can I have two beers please?
(Cocktail waitress looks confused because he is on the rail.)
Hamby: It's OK, he's bricked about a hundred and fifty WSOP events, he can have two beers.
