Scotty Gets Sassed

Alan Sass opened for 2,800 from early position, Scotty Nguyen bumped it to 9,000 from the button and Sass made the call. The flop came down {10-Spades} {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and Sass check-called a 9,000 bet from Nguyen. The turn fell the {8-Spades} and this time Sass led out for 20,000. Nguyen smooth-called and they went to the river, the {J-Spades}. Sass bet 48,000 and after a lengthy tank, Nguyen flashed {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} and tossed his hand into the muck, conceding the pot.

"I put you on pocket jacks!" said Scotty as Sass raked in the pot, increasing his stack to 137,000. The "Prince of Poker" was left with 71,000.
