Saul Loses Big Pot in First Hand
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
In the first hand after the redraw to the 10-handed final table, Marcel Vonk raised to 27,000 from early position, then Matthew Dames and Kevin Saul both called from the blinds. After the 
flop, Saul led for 48,000 and only Vonk made the call.
Saul continued with a bet of 84,000 on the 
turn and the Dutchman didn't go anywhere. The 
river then completed the board and Saul fired a third and final bullet, worth 128,000. Vonk considered his options and eventually made the call, turning over 
for a winning hand. "Sick call," half of the players on the table said.
