Saul Surges

As Level 4 wound down, a big PLO hand just developed over at Kevin "BeLOWaBOVe" Saul's table. It began with two players limping, including Saul, then the player in the small blind raising to 1,475. There was some fuss as it was determined a pot-sized bet was only 1,450 before both Saul and the other limper called.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and the original raiser pushed all in for 2,625. Both called. The turn was the {K-Hearts}, and Saul's other opponent pushed all in for 6,175. Saul took some time, then made the call.

The turn bettor showed K-8-7-6 for two pair, while Saul turned over {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for the heart flush. The player in the small blind, saying he was drawing dead, mucked. The river was the {9-Clubs}, and Saul took down the huge pot, eliminating two players in the process.

Saul is now up to 38,000.
