First Scoop For Scotty

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and this time Cassidy opted to check-raise when Nguyen put in a 100,000 chip bet. Nguyen called. The river was the {2-Clubs} and this time Cassidy check-called.

Nguyen turned over {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a straight and a low, and Cassidy got scooped.
