Saab's Straight Flushed By Kim

Saab down to 800,000
Saab down to 800,000
In a battle of the blinds, David Saab raised it up an additional 100,000 from the big blind with Albert Kim making the call.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Kim check-called the 100,000 bet of Saab. The turn was the {A-Diamonds} and this time Kim led out for 225,000 with Saab making the call.

The river delivered the {8-Spades} and Kim fired out 500,000. "Wow, that's a big bet!" said Saab "Alright, show me a flush, I call."

Saab was again right with his read as Kim flipped over {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the flush. Saab flashed {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs} for the flopped straight as he threw his cards into the muck in disgust.

Saab falls to 800,000 with Kim now up to 7.34 million chips.
