Battle of the Blinds

A preflop raising war broke out between Nam Le in the big blind and his small-blind opponent, and all the chips ended up in the middle.

Le flipped over {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} to his opponent's {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}.

The board ran {10-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, meaning Le doubled up his opponent.

Le down to 6,000 now.

Set Over Set

Kevin Saul raised to 550 and found one caller before the flop came down:

{4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs} Saul bet out for 1,300 before his opponent raised all in and Saul made the call.

Saul tabled {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} and he was dominating his unfortunate opponent, who had {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds}.

The turn {10-Diamonds} and river {J-Diamonds} changed nothing, and Saul busts a player.

Saul up to 29,000 now.
