After a flop of Jc2c2h, Jacquelyn Scott checked from the big blind, Ben Ludlow bet 15,000 from under the gun, and Scott called.

The turn card was the Qs, Scott checked, Ludlow bet 60,000, and Scott quickly called.

The river card was the 4c, Scott checked, and Ludlow checked and said, “This is a very nitty check.”

Ludlow showed AhAd for two pair, aces and deuces, but Scott turned over Qc6c to win the pot with a queen-high flush.

Jacquelyn Scott  –  850,000  (71 bb)
Ben Ludlow  –  285,000  (24 bb)
