Look Ma, A Huge Hand!

[user66118]

Well, that was the biggest pot we've seen today. And thanks to Will Souther for drawing our attention to it.

Under the gun, James Mordue opened the action with a raise, and Stephen Ma three-bet around the table on the button. Action came to Kevin Saul's big blind, and he liked what he saw. Coming in from the cold, he four-bet shoved with his chip-leading stack of more than 400,000. That folded Mordue without incident, but Ma snap-called his last 200,500 to put a monster pot up for grabs. Saul knew he was in trouble.

Showdown
Ma: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}
Saul: {K-} {Q-}

The {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} flop all but ended things right there, and the {9-Hearts} turn left Saul drawing dead before the {J-Diamonds} river. When he paid off his debt, he was reduced to about 220,000. Ma's on about twice that now, doubling his way into the chip lead with a set of aces.
