Saab Gets a Flat Tire

We pick up the action on the flop in a growing pot between David Saab and Kevin Clark. The board shows {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and Clark puts out a bet of 4,300. Saab makes the flat call.

The turn comes the {2-Spades}, and Clark relinquishes control, checking over to Saab. Not one to take a check passively, Saab tosses a single orange T5,000 chips into the pot. Without hesitation, Clark moves all in. Saab asks for a count, and he learns that it is 8,325 more to call. He tanks for a few minutes before giving up his hand, sending a nice chunk of his stack over to his opponent.

After losing that pot, Saab has slipped back to 21,000 in chips.
