Kevin Saul Slips

After a {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} flop Kevin Saul bet 3,500 after his opponent checked. She then raised to 11,500 and Saul moved all in. She made the call and her {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} were well ahead of Saul's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn and when the {Q-Clubs} hit on the river Saul jokingly said, "Queen!", even though pairing his queen didn't give him the winning hand.

"That's a bad beat" his opponent said, appreciating the joke, and Saul is now down to 11,000.
