turn. Both check and the river is the {Q-Hearts}

Hand #157 - Stewart Scott

[user75032]

Peter Rho has the button. The pot is once again limped, this time between Rho and big blind Stewart Scott. Scott checks a flop of {K-Clubs}

, then calls a bet of 100,000 from Rho. The turn card is the {J-Diamonds}

. Scott checks a seond time. Rho fires out 225,000 chips and is quickly raised by Scott to 600,000.

As we have seen many times today, Rho rests his elbows on the rail and puts his hands over his mouth as he contemplates his decision. He takes much less time than normal before calling. The river is a blank, the {5-Clubs}

.

Scott has first action and pushes out two full stacks of chocolate chips -- one million total. Rho stands up from his chair and cuts two stacks of chocolate chips off of his own stack. He's talking to himself. He finally calls. Scott shows the nuts, {Q-Clubs}

, a Broadway straight. Rho slowly and quietly mucks his hand.

It's a huge pot for Aussie Stewart Scott, pushing him to 7.6 million in chips. We'll watch closely to see how Peter Rho conducts himself over the next few hands. He's down to roughly 2.9 million chips now.
