Saeed Blinks First

Action folded all the way around to Omar Saeed in the small blind, and he raised it to 35,000. William Katona was in the big blind, and he put out a three bet to 101,000. It was back to Saeed, and he thought for about 30 seconds before assembling a four bet to 226,000, and dropping it in the middle. It was back to Katona, and he wasn't ready to give it up, as he moved all in 506,000. Saeed thought for only about 15 seconds before chucking his cards away, and Katona took the big preflop pot.
