Rann Piles the Pressure on Scott
Being just five spots off the money it's likely that players will start to pile pressure on opponents, using the tournament situation as leverage to obtain easy chips.
James Rann did just that to Corey Scott on the river in a hand. Scott went into an epic tank on the river before open folding a big hand.
Scott raised to 15,000 from under the gun and was only called by Rann in the cutoff. Both players checked the flop and Scott checked again on the turn. Rann bet 10,500 and Scott called before he quickly led out for 40,000 on the river. He had 140,000 chips behind and Rann raised enough to set him all in. Cue tank session where Scott was out of his seat a few times, rubbing his sweaty palms on the felt and generally looking pained.
He eventually folded showing for a rivered straight.
