Saab Runs Bluff

David Saab has just run a very nice bluff with a dominated hand against Michael Kainz.

Kainz had raised to 1,700 from middle position and the action folded to David Saab in the small blind.

"I'm gonna raise it so little because your hand is such crap and you'll have to call!" exclaimed Saab as he popped it up to 4,500.

Kainz made the call as the flop fell {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Saab fired a bet of 6,000 and Kainz made the call once again.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Saab fired again, this time with a huge bet of 40,000 putting maximum pressure on his opponent. Kainz deliberated before folding {A-?}{K-?} face up. Saab then flashed {A-?}{J-?} for an airball to collect the pot in typical Saab fashion.
