Saab Doubles On the Bubble

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sandy Sinclair raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Majid Saab defended his big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Saab shoved his last 11,000 in for Sinclair to snap-call.

Majid Saab: {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Sandy Sinclair: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Saab had flopped a pair of tens while Sinclair had a gutshot to a Broadway.

The rest of the board was completed with the {8-Spades} on the turn and the {k-Spades} on the river for Saab to hold on to his lead to double up.
