Pesek Demolishes Saul

Chad Holloway

We're not sure how the action went, but Michael Pesek ended up all in preflop holding {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} and was up against the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} of Kevin Saul. It was another flip, but Pesek's jacks held as the board ran out {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} . Pesek was pleased as punch to survive the hand while Saul was left with just 6,000.

In the very next hand, action folded to Saul in the small blind and he committed his stack and was called by Pesek in the big blind.

Pesek: {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}
Saul: {J-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}

Saul was ahead although he wasn't too excited. The {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} flop gave Pesek a gut-shot straight draw, which happened to fill when the {9-Spades} spiked on the turn. The insignificant {Q-Clubs} was put out on the river as Saul grabbed his things and exited the tournament floor.
