Saul Plays Big Two

For those unaware, Big Two is a card game extremely popular in this part of the world (Asia) and has very similar hand rankings to poker, only the highest card in the game is the deuce as oppose to the ace, so the is the highest card.

Ok, now our little lesson in Asian card games is over, let us get on to the hand in question. It was the UK’s Oliver Saul who was the initial aggressor, opening the action to 9,000 from the hi-jack. The big blind bumped it up to 24,000 and Saul thought it over for a minute or so before pulling the trigger for 180,000 in total.

Saul’s opponent made a reluctant fold and the UK-based Spaniard flashed the before throwing his hand away to climb back up to over 200,000.
