Scarborough Sends One Packing

Action folded to a player in the cutoff and he moved all in for 119,000. The button made the call, as did Mike Scarborough, and there was side action created headed to the {6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop. Scarborough was first to act and moved all in, prompting the button to fold.

Showdown
Scarborough: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Cutoff: {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The at-risk player was ahead with a pair of nines, but Scarborough held an open-ended straight draw. Wouldn't you know it, the {5-Spades} spiked on the river to complete the said draw and give the former World Poker Tour Champ a lock on the hand. The {6-Spades} was run out on the river as Scarborough increased his stack to 650,000.
