Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul Applies the Pressure

On a board of {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} and 4,000 in the pot, Kevin Saul was facing a bet of 2,800. Saul deliberated for a minute and then raised it up to 9,200.

His opponent tanked, and eventually folded {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} face up. He asked Saul if he made the right play, Saul responded with "You played it the way I would have." Another player at the table said to the folder, "You played it the way he wanted you to!"

Kevin Saul now sits with nearly 65,000.
