A Little Luck Keeps Saab Alive

Dean Blatt raised to 2,500 and David Saab made the call on the button. The two players took the flop of {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs}.

Blatt led out for 4,000 and Saab moved all in. Blatt made the call and turned over {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. He had a dominating position on Saab's {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts}.

The turn paired the board with the {9-Diamonds} and then the river kept Saab alive when the {9-Hearts} hit the felt. Both players chopped up the pot with nines full of queens.
