Scoggin Drags a Pot with Trips

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a board of {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}, two players checked to the button, who bet 2,200. The big blind made the call, and Grayson Scoggin thought for a bit before calling as well. A {q-Spades} finished the board, and everyone checked.

The big blind shrugged and tossed {k-}{4-} in for top pair, but Scoggin had it beat with {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} for trip jacks. The button mucked.

Scoggin, who notched a fifth-place finish in a limit hold'em event at last year's World Series of Poker for over $42,000, is showcasing some no-limit prowess in the early going here as he has nearly doubled the starting stack.
