Saul Doubles

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.
