Six Outs To Double For TJ

What looked like a sure elimination turned into a double up thanks to a hit six-outer by TJ Scarber.

TJ raised it up to 55,000 from the cutoff and Marco Oliveira re-raised to 175,000 from the button. It folded back around to TJ who put all 234,000 of his chips in and Oliveira called.

Oliveira: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Scarber: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The flop came down {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to give two pair to Oliveira, but to give Scarber a straight draw with any non-spade eight or queen. The turn was a harmless {k-Clubs} but the river was the {8-Clubs} and Scarber's straight scooped the pot. He is up to 500,000 while Oliveira has fallen down to just about 200,000
