Livello 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ron Scott raised to 1,500 from the cutoff and received a call only from the player in the big blind, leading to a 6♥7♠5♥ flop.

Action checked through on the flop, bringing both players to the K♦ turn card. The big blind checked to Scott who tossed out a bet of 1,500. The big blind thought briefly before calling to bring out the 4♠ on the river.

The big blind checked again and Scott tossed out another bet, this time for 3,000.

The big blind spent about a minute in the tank before eventually making the call to see Scott turn over the A♣3♥. Unable to beat Scott's straight, the big blind tossed his cards towards the muck and Scott collected the pot.
