Saab's Table Chatter Backfires

On the turn of a {6-Hearts}

board, David Saab raised Paul Rochford. Rochford instantly folded his hand, prompting a disappointed Saab to show {K-Clubs}

for a turned set of kings as he collected the pot.

"Of course I hit," said Saab after the hand. "I'm a pro!"

The very next hand, Saab had the button and tangled with the player in the big blind. Saab bet 400 on a flop of {9-Spades}

, then called a check-raise to 1,000 from the big blind. That player bet another 1,000 on the {9-Diamonds}

turn. Saab called again. When the river fell {7-Spades}

, Saab's opponent made it 1,500 to go. Saab quickly fired out a raise of 6,000, sending the big blind into the tank.

The big blind tanked another minute, then finally made an adventurous call with {J-Hearts}
