The Saab Out of Gas

David Saab - Eliminated
David Saab - Eliminated
On the river of a board reading {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, David Saab elected to raise his opponent's, Nathanael Ren Hao Seet's, bet. After Saab made the raise, Seet moved all in. Saab tanked for a while and then said, "All right, show me your cards" and made the call.

Seet turned over {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} for a full house on the river after flopping a set. Saab showed just the {J-Diamonds} and then mucked his hand. "It's a hand I'm destined to lose money on," commented Saab. "Our ranges are just so wide there."

Seet is by far the chip leader of the tournament with over 62,000 chips after eliminating Saab.
