Saiya Surprises the Table by Beating Drummonds
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Frank Saiya moved all in for 32,000 from the cutoff and Lucas Drummonds called in the big blind.
Frank Saiya: A♦9♦
Lucas Drummonds: K♣9♣
Drummonds took the lead on the K♥Q♥J♠ flop with top pair, but Saiya hit the A♠ on the turn. The river A♥ improved Saiya to trips, and he earned the double up.
"I'm surprised you beat him, because he's just been drilling everyone's faces," tablemate Nick Barksdale said to Saiya.
