King Saul

[user66118]

Kevin Saul opened to 3,000 in early position, and the big blind came along as the lone caller.

Heads up, the flop brought {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

, and both men checked. They would do the same when the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

turned on fourth street, and the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

filled out the board. The big blind finally stuck out a bet of 4,000, but Saul came right over the top with a covering raise to 25,000. His opponent thought it over for a minute or two before committing the rest of his stack with an all-in call.

Saul tabled {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

for two pair, and it was the winner. The rest of his opponent's chips were pushed to his corner, and he's now sitting pretty with right at 200,000.
