Saul Wakes Up with Aces in 3-Million Chip Pot

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

A huge hand just took place on the final table bubble, a monster 3 million-chip pot in fact. It began when Kevin Saul opened for 65,000 from early position and Lall Bharat three-bet to 100,000 from the button. Saul responded with a four-bet to 400,000 and Bharat five-bet all in for just under 1.5 million. Saul snap-called and the cards were tabled.

Saul: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Bharat: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Saul was a monster 87.23% favorite to win the hand. That increased to 93.74% on the {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. "Don't worry, there will be a diamond on the turn," someone at the table said. Sure enough, the {4-Diamonds} peeled off. That increased Baharat's chance from 4.84% on the flop to 20.45% headed to the river with a 6.82% chance of a tie.

Saul was primed to win a monster pot and take a commanding chip lead to the final table, but the dealer burned and put down the {3-Spades}. Both players had made a wheel to chop the pot.
