One player raised to 1,000 from under the gun and a player in middle position made the call. Annette Obrestad called from the cutoff seat and then Kevin Saul reraised to 5,500 from the button. The under-the-gun player reraised to 19,200 and the two players in the middle folded. Saul went all in for 21,900 and his opponent called.

Saul: {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}

The flop came down {J-Spades} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} and Saul hit trips plus a straight draw. The turn was the {K-Clubs} and river the {J-Clubs} , keeping Saul's trip sevens in the lead and doubling him up over 40,000 in chips.
