Great Scott!

There's always one table that breaks for the 20-minute period later than the others, and on this occasion it was Kara Scott's as the camera crew swamped the table like white on rice.
It was a player in early position who lit the opening spark, raising it up to 250 preflop. Scott made it 700 a few seats down and received two callers: the small blind and the initial raiser.
The flop rolled out 
, and after both players checked, Scott led for 1,700. The small blind folded, but the preflop raiser was less hospitable and opted to bump it up to 5,025. Scott made the call.
A 
turn triggered more action, early position leading for 5,525 and putting the decision on Scott. Again, the British starlet just flat called, leaving herself 27,000 behind.
As the 
river was dealt, the rest of the section began dispersing for the break, and as a result we attracted a few extra spectators looking for some "Hey, look, mom. I'm on TV" camera time (yes, shamefully, that included me).
With onlookers salivating over the size of the pot, the preflop raiser fired again, this time to the tune of 20,000. With little hesitation, Scott moved all in, and although it was only 7,000 more, her opponent stalled before commenting with a sigh, "You're not value-raising aces." After a long dwell, he somehow found the fold allowing Scott to scoop up what was a mammoth pot for Level 1.
The only bad news? Us curious cats never got to see any hole cards. Bah.
