Saab's Mouth as Busy as His Bets

David Saab is doing his thing on Table 5. He opened from early position for 500 and was called by Raymond Wu before the player on the button made it 1,500 to go. That raise folded both blinds, bringing the action back to Saab, who reraised to 3,000. Wu quickly folded. The button player tanked for a minute, then he also folded.

"I don't want to respond to things like that," Saab told the button after the hand. He flashed the {8-Clubs}. "Don't be squeezing me, my friend."

He then added to a player on his right, "He'd doing what I would do playing against me with a cold caller. It's a natural squeeze."

A few hands later, Saab had to fold on a flop of {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} after Wu led out for 500 and was called by one player before Saab raised to 1,500. Wu folded, but the player in between moved all in for 5,425.

"Wow, I was worried about you when you called," said Saab. He eventually folded, telling Wu, "I just got caught in a trap that was meant for you."

Saab has 10,500 in chips.
