Saakian Wins Monster Pot - Moorman Out

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With 28,000 in the middle on a flop of {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Michael Saakian in middle position bet 11,000. The button folded and the small blind check raised to 26,000. Saakian made the call.

The small blind moved all in for 156,000 when the {q-Clubs} appeared on the turn. Saakian called with little hesitation.

Small Blind: {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Michael Saakian: {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The small blind flopped the nuts, but Saakian turned two pair. The river {8-Hearts} left the small blind exasperated as Saakian rivered a full house to take the huge pot. Saakian only just had the big blind covered and is among the top stacks in the room.

Meanwhile on a nearby table Chris Moorman was eliminated and headed to the exit.
