Saul Bust While Alesna More Than Doubles

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

There will be no second World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event title for Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul in the 2012-2013 season as he had been eliminated.

The Foxwoods Main Event champ called off his last 12,500 after Joseph Alesna had moved all in from early position for 23,000. Michael Benton then called from the button to put both players at risk.

Saul: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Alesna: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Benton: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Everyone held an ace, which meant Alesna's king kicker had him out in front. Saul had the worst of it and was out of his seat before he saw the {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Spades} flop paired his nine to give him the lead. The {10-Hearts} turn brought him one step closer to a triple, but the {K-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give Alesna the pot.

Saul, clearly disappointed, threw his backpack off the stage and quickly disappeared to retrieve it.
