Corcione Catches Aces, Doubles Through Saul

Shamus

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We just had a sequence of raise-and-take hands, with Ben Reason, Kevin Saul, and Lall Bharat all taking turns winning the blinds and antes, and Ethan Foulkes also claiming a small pot in a three-way hand following a flop c-bet.

Then came a hand in which Saul raised to 85,000 from under the gun, then Bobby Corcione reraised to 225,000 from the next seat. It folded back around to Saul who asked Corcione how much he had left �� not quite 500,000 �� and after a little while longer Saul reraised again to 505,000. Corcione responded with an all-in push, and Saul called quickly.

Saul had , but Corcione had . The flop was to improve Corcione's hand to a set, and the turn meant no river could take the pot away from him.
