Mackey Sends Saul Packing

James Mackey, one of the youngest WSOP bracelet winners of all time when he was just 21 and four months old, just busted Kevin Saul. Saul and Mackey were sitting next to each other, and in a blind battle things heated up.

Mackey told us Saul limped from the small blind and with {K-}{Q-} the bracelet winner decided to raise. His raise got called and the flop brought out {Q-}{8-}{4-} with two spades. Saul check-raised the 200 bet to 550 and Mackey put his opponent all-in for a total of 2,500. Saul called with {Q-}{J-} and was trailing against {K-}{Q-}. No help for the former WPT Bellagio Cup winner and Mackey raked in the chips.
