Saab Leads From Front

[user67765]

David Saab

Yoshihiro Tasaka had just bluffed off a large chunk of his stack to hand the tournament chip lead to Australian David Saab.

Tasaka fired a bet on the flop and followed it up with another 10,000 chip bullet on the turn on a board of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. Saab slid out a stack of purple chips to make the call.

The river brought the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and Tasaka counted out 20,000 and splashed them loosely into the middle. Saab made a relatively quick call in such a huge pot.

Tasaka sighed and revealed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

for just ace-high as Saab's pair of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

was good enough to collect the huge pot. Saab is now out in front with 160,000 with Tasaka back to 125,000.
