Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kevin Saul
Kevin Saul

Kevin Saul opened under the gun and got called in three spots. On the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, Andrew Pantling checked from the big blind and Saul bet 12,000. Brian Park called a few seats over, the fourth player folded, and Pantling shoved for 54,500. Saul reraised to 103,000, folding out Park.

Pantling shook his head and turned over {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flush draw, and Saul tabled {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for the current nuts. They got nuttier on the turn when the {7-Hearts} hit to leave Pantling out the door even before the {2-Clubs} river arrived.

Allain Catches Lucky Turn and Dodges Bullets For Double Up

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There was two-way action after the flop with around 20,000 in the middle and a board showing {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Adrien Allain jammed his remaining 63,500 in the middle from late position and Marko Maher snapped him from the button.

Marko Maher: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Adrien Allain: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Maher still had outs but was unable to hit as the river fell a brick with the {3-Diamonds} and Allain came away with a double.
