Saul Survivor

Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul's opponent bets 750 on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Saul raises to 3,100. The opponent calls. They check the turn and river of {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. "I missed," says the opponent, slamming down {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} angrily. Saul shows {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and picks up another nice one. He's up to 48,200 and seems to be the chip leader.

Whelan and Dealin

Derek Whelan just ran into a bit of bad luck. His chip stack was severely hurt in a hand where the board read {3-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades}.

Whelan's opponent was all in and Derek called, showing {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. However, it was second best to his opponents {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Whelan was down to just over 2,000, but managed to double up a few hands later and now sits with 5,200.
