The Eight-Percenter

[user75032]

David Saab

A series of preflop raises between David Saab and Michael Wong ended with Wong all in for 15,500. Saab made the pressure raise in the hand, raising to 9,000 after Wong had reraised him to 2,000 from the small blind. Once all the chips were in, the players showed down their hands.

Wong: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

Saab:

{2-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

"I'm eight percent ahead!" exclaimed Saab. "You can run casinos with eight percent win." That may be true, but this time Saab's eight-percent edge did not hold. The board ran out {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

to make a pair of aces for Wong. He doubled to 31,000 while Saab dropped to 13,750.
