They call John Guth "Sir Scoopalot," and rarely has a nickname seemed more apt. He's been scooping pots all day and he doesn't seem to be tiring of it. In the first big heads-up hand Guth showed a rivered flush and a 3-4 low on a {5-Hearts}

to gather in a huge pot. He now has 2.2 million to Stevanovski's 550K, and Guth's friends are becoming even more vocal as the chips keep sliding their boy's way.

[user37786]

A Queen on The River Saves David Flores

[user37786]

On hand #120 David Flores and Robert Stevanovski saw a {10-Spades}

flop, and Robert called David's 40K bet. Flores bet 80K when the {3-Hearts}

fell on the turn and Stevanovski called again, as he did when the {Q-Diamonds}

hit on the river. Flores turned over a Queen for trips, and Robert dejectedly flipped over a three, showing that he'd turned trips only to be beaten by that Queen on the river

On A Rush

[user37786]

John "Sir Scoopalot" Guth picked a good time to go on a heater. He won a huge pot against David Flores on hand #111 when, with the board reading {4-Hearts}

and the middle of the felt piled high with pink chips, Guth turned over K-10 for the nut straight and the pot. Flores looked disgusted as he flashed two cards to Guth before tossing them in the muck.
