Saab Can't Lose

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The poker gods are smiling on David Saab today, perhaps impressed by his ability to chat incessantly. Saab raised to 2,500 and was reraised by the player on his immediate left to 9,000, leaving only about 4,000 behind. Action folded back to Saab.

"I have too much money in already," said Saab. "I'm all in."

"I call then," said his opponent. "You've probably got me." He showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Spades}

and found himself in a flip against Saab's {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

. Saab did not like the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

flop. It gave his opponent additional two pair outs to overcoat his fours. Everything missed though; the turn was the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

and the river was the {k-Clubs}

{k-Clubs}

. That pot lifted Saab close to 70,000 in chips and into the chip lead.
