Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Some poker players have a "thing". For Joe Hachem, it was "Pass the sugar." For Andre Scaff, playing here on Day 2 in Sao Paulo, it's "Filhe do rei". Scaff was shouting that phrase again after taking down a sizable pot from the chip leader, Santiego Nadal. With 13,000 in the pot on the turn, {j-Hearts} {k-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {q-Spades} , Scaff bet 8,200 from the big blind. Nadal called, bringing the two players to the {a-Clubs} river. Scaff made a cautious check. Nadal cut 19,700 off of his massive stack and tossed the chips into the pot. Scaff then check-raised all in.

"How much?" asked Nadal. The dealer counted down Scaff at 109,200, a raise of almost 90,000 back to Nadal. He seemed anguished but finally folded, showing the {10-Hearts} . Scaff showed a club flush, {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} .
