Saul Slides Further

We missed the preflop amounts, but we did catch Kevin Saul opening and Jim Devaney three-betting from the small blind.

Our focus turned to the table as the dealer spread out a {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} flop, and Devaney continued out with 30,000. Saul quickly flatted that bet, and they both checked through the {7-Hearts} turn. The river came the {J-Hearts}, and Devaney checked a second time. When he did, Saul took his cue to bet 40,000. Devaney called instantly.

"You got it," Saul said quietly.

Devaney tabled his {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} to take the pot, and he's pushed Saul back down under the chip average for the first time today. With that pot, he's put himself among the chip leaders, sitting now with about 330,000 in front of him.
