Scott Montgomery, another member of the "November Nine," is now fighting it out for the chip lead with around 35,000. His 600 preflop raise was reraised to 1,700 by the button, which Montgomery called.

On the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

flop, Montgomery checked, the button made a standard continuation bet, Montgomery raised to 5,500 and the button pushed all in for a total of 14,850.

After squirming in his seat like a three-legged ferret, Montgomery eventually made the call and showed {A-Clubs}
