Saul Slips a Bit

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

With the board already reading {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}, the player in the hijack checked the action to Kevin Saul in the cutoff who bet 1,850. The hijack tanked for a bit before deciding to call.

Saul instantly mucked his cards and the hijack showed the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts} for jacks and sevens and took the pot.

After the hand Saul posted on his Twitter account, "God forbid I actually take advantage of the best 5k table anyone's ever been at, tried to bluff the 1 good player, he called w 3rd pair."
