Scott Still Climbing

[user75032]

Kara Scott was all smiles after picking off a bluff in a recent hand. Scott had the button and reraised preflop to 3,000 after a player opened from middle position to 1,025. That player called and check-called another 4,000 on a flop of {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

. When the turn fell {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

, Scott's opponent led into her for 6,700. Scott called that bet and then found herself facing a hefty bet of 17,500 on the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

river. Scott called again.

"Nice hand," her opponent said, mucking his hand. Scott opened {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

for two pair, aces and deuces, and collected the pot. Her count climbed to 63,000.
