Saul Rules the Realm

Kevin Saul
Kevin Saul

Kevin Saul has been doing some good work today, steadily increasing his chip count and keeping pace with the leaders. It looks like he's the leader now.

In the last hand, A.P. Phahurat opened to 8,000 before Saul three-bet to 19,500 on the button. After a minute of deliberation, Phahurat four-bet shoved for 83,500 total. Saul double-checked the count, then made the call with his covering stack.

Showdown
Phahurat: {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}
Saul: {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}

There was no funny stuff on the {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} board, and that knockout propels Saul up over 300,000 and onto the biggest stack in the room. He's actually closer to 350,000.
