Scott Trips Up LaMontagne
Level 18
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On one of the first hands at the final table, Mike LaMontagne raised to 65,000 from the cutoff with the A♥K♥ and Ron Scott defended the big bling holding the 3♦4♦.
The 2♥3♣3♠ flop hit Scott, who checked his trip threes. LaMontagne continued for 35,000, Scott called, and the 8♣ appeared on the turn.
Scott shifted gears and led out for 50,000, which LaMontagne called.
The A♠ river saw Scott bet 100,000 and LaMontagne, who rivered a pair, paid it off only to discover the bad news.
