Well, that was the biggest pot we've seen today. And thanks to Will Souther for drawing our attention to it.
Under the gun, James Mordue opened the action with a raise, and Stephen Ma three-bet around the table on the button. Action came to Kevin Saul's big blind, and he liked what he saw. Coming in from the cold, he four-bet shoved with his chip-leading stack of more than 400,000. That folded Mordue without incident, but Ma snap-called his last 200,500 to put a monster pot up for grabs. Saul knew he was in trouble.
