Robert Scott had been playing a steady, quiet game all tournament. He spent most of his reading a book.
He ran pocket kings into pocket aces and lost a hefty portion of his stack. Just a few hands later he called on the river with a board of . His opponent tabled for a flush.
He moved all in preflop on the very next hand and picked up a round of blinds and antes. He's in shove mode and this close to the money he's taking a gamble.

The day had a rough start after a 30-minute delay due to redraw problems and a train delay – yes, a train delay. The highway that leads to casino was blocked by stopped freight train that caused many of the local players a delay in arriving on time.
Once cards hit the air it was action as usual. Although, most of time the money bubble is reached around the dinner break the field did not reach the money until a full two levels after returning from dinner. Robert Scott was the unfortunate player that was the last to be eliminated without receiving a payout.
Midway through the day Liebert went on a tear for a level and half. She went from a slightly below average stack to one of the leaders after doubling through Sean Winter. Then she picked up pocket aces and got all her chips in on the turn when her opponent held pocket eights.
Cards will be in the air promptly at 1 p.m. EST and we’ll play down to a winner. Follow all the action live on Pokernews.com.
