Little Shoves; Saul Folds a Pair

On the {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, Jonathan Little and another player checked to Kevin Saul. Saul bet 4,000 and Little check-raised to 14,000. The next player folded and then Saul made the call.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and Little moved all in for 30,300. Saul went into the tank before saying, "This is where I usually make the optimistic play and put my opponent on a hand I can beat."

Saul then thought for a little bit longer. "If I show will you show?" he asked, which drew a very small smile from Little's lips. "I've already decided I'm folded, but I just want to know if you will show if I show." Little said no.

Saul showed the {9-Diamonds} as he folded and finished, "Just wanted you to see I wasn't bluffing the flop."
