An Orbit with WSOP Ladies Event Champ Jacquelyn Scott
While she's a familiar face here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, what Jacquelyn Scott is best known for is topping a field of 795 runners to win the 2015 World Series of Poker $1,000 Ladies Event for a career-high $153,876 and a coveted gold bracelet.
As one of the most accomplished players in the field today, we decided to spend an entire nine-hand orbit with Scott, who was sitting with 50,000, to see what she could do. Here's how it went down.
Hand #1 (UTG+1): The under-the-gun player folded and Scott did the same.
Hand #2 (UTG): Scott folded.
Hand #3 (Big Blind): A player in early position limped and three others did the same before Scott checked her option from the big blind. When the flop came down 
, three checks saw the player in the hijack bet 1,400. The small blind folded, Scott and the other player called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
.
Two checks saw the hijack bet 2,700 and only Scott called to see the 
river. Both players checked and Scott said, "I have a deuce."
She then tabled the 
for a missed straight draw that paired on the river. It was no good though as her opponent won with the 
.
Hand #4 (Small Blind): A player in middle position limped before the lojack raised to 1,200. The player on the button then made it 4,000 to go and Scott got the hell out of dodge.
Hand #5 (Button): A player in early position raised to 1,100 and two more players called before Scott flatted the button. The player in the big blind came along and five players saw a flop of 
. The original raiser continued for 4,500 and everyone else folded, including Scott.
Hand #6 (Cutoff): Action folded to Scott and she let go of her hand.
Hand #7 (Hijack): The UTG player limped and Scott raised to 1,300 from the hijack. The button and both blinds called, and the UTG player made it five-way to the 
flop. Everyone checked as they did on both the 
turn and river.
"I think I got it," Scott said and showed the 
for kings and threes. Indeed she did as one by one her opponents all mucked.
Hand #8 (Lojack): A player in early position raised to 1,000 and Scott folded.
Hand #9 (UTG+2): The UTG player limped and Scott folded.
Scott ended the orbit a bit down with approximately 46,000.
