Rough Start for Scarano

Ryan Lashmar

Level 12 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alexander Petersen opened to 35,000 from the cutoff, and Jose Scarano defended from the big blind.

The flop came Q♣6♣3♦, and Scarano check-called a 40,000 bet from Petersen.

Both players checked the J♦ turn, leading to the K♥ river. Scarano checked, Petersen bet 115,000, and Scarano called.

Petersen tabled 10♥9♠8♥2♠ for a straight to take the pot from the start-of-day chip leader, who is down to less than half of what he started the day with.
