Justin Scott Doubles Through Matt Matros

Justin Scott
Justin Scott
Justin Scott and Matt Matros just tangled in a big hand that saw Scott's tournament life hanging in the balance. Scott was all in before the flop against Matros and the players showed:

Scott: {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Matros: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Matros had the dominating hand and both players caught top pair on the {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} flop. The turn was a relative blank, falling the {5-Spades}, but the river was the {K-Clubs} and completed Scott's flush. He doubled to roughly 800,000 chips on the hand and left Matros with just over 725,000.
