Scarborough Tries to Fool May on the River
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mike Scarborough raised to 50,000 in middle position, Jasper May moved all in for 215,000 on the button, and Scarborough called.
Jasper May: A♥K♣
Mike Scarborough: K♥Q♣
Both players hit top pair on the K♠10♠4♠ flop, while the rest of the board ran out 10♣J♣. "That's a straight," Scarborough said, and May took a long look at the board before realizing Scarborough was only joking and May had held up to win the pot.
"Is there a penalty for misreading your hand?" a tournament official joked with Scarborough.
