Saul's Kings Can't Hold

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We saw Kevin Saul and another opponent get in a preflop raising war as we walked by the table, and eventually, all of the chips went in the middle, with Saul being the one who was all in.

Saul: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop was safe for Saul, coming down {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, but the {a-Hearts} on the turn changed everything. Saul was looking for a king and a king only, but the river was the {9-Clubs}, ending Saul's Day in level five.
