{A-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

flop. When the turn came {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, Saab's opponent bet 2,000 and was quickly raised by Saab to 4,500. He mulled it over before making a call. When the river came {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

, he checked to Saab.

"How much do you have my friend?" Saab asked. Once he saw that his opponent had well over 10,000, he opted to check behind and tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. That was a winner versus his opponent's {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

.

"Seems like a tough spot to get value," deadpanned Greg Raymer.

"I thought I'd have to bluff the river," Saab replied.
