Saechao Snags a Big Pot

James Routos came in for a raise to 25,000 in early position, and Chiab Saechao was the only caller in the small blind. The flop came down {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Saechao led out for 35,000. Routos elected to call, and the turn brought the {k-Hearts}. Saechao checked, and Routos took little time in assembling a bet of 60,000. Saechao beat him into the pot, and the two saw the {k-Clubs} hit the river. Saechao quickly checked, and Routos checked as well after about 15 seconds of thought. Saechao grimmaced, and showed a failed trap, as he tabled {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a rivered boat. Routos mucked, giving the pot to Saechao.

After the hand, Saechao is over 300,000, while Routos, who has been one of the big stacks all day, is now one of the short stacks.
