Saab's Middle Pair Holds Up

David Saab has never been accused of having a narrow range. He defended his big blind against a small blind raise to 2,000, then called another 3,000 on a flop of {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. The small blind fired again for 4,000 when the turn fell {10-Hearts}. Saab, always fearless, called that bet too.

Both players shut down on the {4-Hearts} river. The small blind turned over an unimproved {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}; Saab showed {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for two pair, tens and nines, and the winner. He's up to 53,500.
