Saab Story

David Saab has just been eliminated from the tournament by Kenneth Damm. Saab opened the hand with a raise to 2,500 from late position. Damm called from the button, Joe Cabret called from the small blind and Manny Stavropoulos joined the fun from the big.

The flop came {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {10-Spades} and the table checked around to Damm who led out with a 5,500 bet. Both Cabret and Stavropoulos folded and when the action returned to Saab, he moved all in for 14,000. Damm made the call and tabled {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} for trips; Saab revealed {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} for air.

The turn and river filled out {A-Spades}, {4-Spades} and Damm improved to a full boat to cement the hand and send Saab to the rail.
