Stewart Scott has a cadre of fans in the Shout Box. They'll be pleased to know he has an extra 176,000 chips, courtesy of Chris Chronis. Chronis was in the big blind and called a raise to 26,000 made by Scott from late position. Both players checked a flop of {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

. On the turn {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

, Chronis led out for 55,000. Scott raised him to 150,000 and Chronis called.

Both players checked the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

river. Scott showed down {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

, having made a pair of queens on the turn. That was a winner. Scott and Chronis therefore traded places in the counts, with Scott moving up to 1.35 million and Chronis sidling down to 1.20 million.
