Scott and Tahtouh Continue To Tango

Stewart Scott and Emad Tahtouh
Stewart Scott and Emad Tahtouh
With a raise to 700 in front of them, both Stewart Scott and Emad Tahtouh made the call to see a {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop. Action checked around and the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn.

Again play checked to Tahtouh who fired 1,200 with just Scott making the call.

Scott checked in the dark before the {K-Hearts} fell on the river.

"Check in the dark on the river? And now you've hit your money card! I check. Show me ace-king!" exclaimed Tahtouh.

"Nup. A pair and you win," replied Scott.

Tahtouh had a pair, just, as his {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} was good enough to collect the pot.

"I thought you had nothing, so I thought a check in the dark would slow you down!" chuckled Scott as these two high-profile players continue to splash around.
