Foulkes Fires, Forces Fold
Level 30
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Kevin Saul has been battling to reverse the downward trend he's been experiencing chip-wise since the final table began, but circumstances aren't cooperating at the moment.
Just now he opened with a button raise to 115,000, then saw Bobby Corcione push all in over the top from the small blind, forcing Saul to abandon his hand.
On the next one Saul was raising again from the cutoff, this time to 105,000, and only Ethan Foulkes called from the big blind. The flop came 
. Foulkes checked, Saul bet 120,000, and Foulkes called. The turn then brought the 
and a bet of 185,000 from Foulkes, which after a pause caused Saul to fold.
Foulkes then showed his hand — 
(a flush) — and he and Saul engaged in post-hand conversation about his line.
