Look Ma, A Huge Hand!

Well, that was the biggest pot we've seen today. And thanks to Will Souther for drawing our attention to it.

Under the gun, James Mordue opened the action with a raise, and Stephen Ma three-bet around the table on the button. Action came to Kevin Saul's big blind, and he liked what he saw. Coming in from the cold, he four-bet shoved with his chip-leading stack of more than 400,000. That folded Mordue without incident, but Ma snap-called his last 200,500 to put a monster pot up for grabs. Saul knew he was in trouble.

Showdown
Ma: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}
Saul: {K-} {Q-}

The {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} flop all but ended things right there, and the {9-Hearts} turn left Saul drawing dead before the {J-Diamonds} river. When he paid off his debt, he was reduced to about 220,000. Ma's on about twice that now, doubling his way into the chip lead with a set of aces.
