Kevin Scott (Suit Up Poker League) stacks his new chips while playing a new hand<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Kevin Scott was not on the radar during dinner break but he certainly is now. The former big stack was sitting around average but caught a big hand to jump into the lead.<\/p>\n

The board was complete and reading A\u2663 Q\u2663 J\u2665 T\u2660 2\u2665 with Scott facing an opponent all in for 131,000. Scott thought for a while, stared at the heavy board, talked it out with himself, and finally shrug\/called with J\u2663\u00a0J\u2666 for a set of jacks. His opponent could only show down top pair A\u2666 6\u2663 and Scott celebrated the huge pot.<\/p>\n

With the chips already in the pot and his opponents additional 131K, Scott moved up to 350,000 and the likely lead.<\/p>\n

Update: In the time it took to post the hand, Scott ran his stack up some more and now sits with 480,000.<\/em><\/p>\n
