Scala Takes a Hit as Montgomery Gets There
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alex Montgomery had three-bet to around 35,000, leaving himself about 10,000 behind, over a 4,000 open from chip leader Antonio Scala. Action folded back to Scala who quickly four-bet jammed, and Montgomery got the rest of it in.
Alex Montgomery: A♠5♠ 
Antonio Scala: J♦J♠
Montgomery was in trouble with a single overcard, but the K♠8♠8♥ flop brought hope in the flush draw.
Montgomery binked it on the 7♠ turn, and Scala could not find a two-outer on the 6♣ river.
