Kevin Saul Thriving

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Kevin Saul raised to 1,400 from early position and was called by four players, including the blinds.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-}, and the blinds and Saul all checked. The next player to act moves all in for 6,900. The player behind raised to 17,000 and the players in the blinds folded. Saul moved all in for 32,500 and was called.

Saul: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
At-risk opponent: {a-}{a-}
Opponent: {5-}{5-}

It was aces versus bottom set versus middle set going to the turn. The turn brought the {10-Spades} to give Saul quads and lock up the hand. The river was a meaningless {6-}, and Saul moved up to 99,000.
