The Heart of a Lion

David Saab is creating a bit of havoc at his table. He tried to bluff J.J. Liu out of a hand with queen-high but was foiled when she called him down with top pair of nines, five kicker. "Nine-five, huh?" he asked Liu mock accusingly. Then he laughed and added, "Nice hand."

Later on, Saab was at it again against a different opponent. With position, he called a raise to 150 preflop. The flop came down {9-Hearts}

and Saab quickly called when his opponent bet 250. The turn was the {8-Clubs}

and again Saab quickly called a bet of 375. His opponent finally slowed down on the river {10-Clubs}

, checking to Saab. Saab carefully picked up his chips, then threw two blue chips (2,000) into the middle.

His opponent sighed, removed his sunglasses and took off his headphones. He looked back and forth from the board to Saab, then slammed a stack of chips into the table in disgust. After about a minute, he open-mucked pocket jacks (top set). After the pot was pushed to Saab, he gleefully turned over ace-king. It was another bluff!

"You have to have the heart of a lion," Saab informed his opponent. He now sits behind 7,500 in chips.
