Saul Falls

It's been a quick, hard fall for Kevin Saul here this evening. He was sitting pretty with the chip lead of 435,000 about 90 minutes ago, but he's burned through that and right out the door.

In his last stand, Saul got just about 100,000 into the middle preflop with {8-} {8-}, and he was flipping for the double against Jim Devaney's {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}.

There was an ace on the flop and another one on the river, and the {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {A-Spades} board was no good for Saul. He did find a straight draw on the turn, but it missed, and his day is done.

Devaney is now the chip daddy with just shy of a half-million chips.

The field is down to 27 players, and we're in the middle of a full redraw.
