Scott Rockets to Chip Lead


We arrived at the table and found a flurry of action. Patrick Houchins opened from early position to what appeared to be 20,000. Next to act, Robert Scott called. One seat over was Mike Rocco and he three-bet to 48,000. Action folded back around to Houchins and he immediately announced all in. Scott asked for a count and upon hearing it was 170,500, he five-bet shoved with the biggest stack of the bunch. Rocco showed as he folded.
Showdown
Scott:
Houchins:
The board came down as Scott took down the huge pot to cross the half century mark.
