Saul Scoops

[user196676]

Kevin Saul came into play today as second in chips, bested only on day two by Ben Lamb. Today he's been continuing with his aggressive play, being active in many pots. His stack has been fluctuating around what he's started the day with and he hasn't been able to scoop any significant pots to keep himself trending upward. That being said, he has won his fair share of pots this level.

We caught up to see the board reading {5-Spades} {8-Spades} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {J-Spades} and Kevin Saul's opponent checked. Saul pushed out a bet of 15,800 into a pot of roughly 32,000. His opponent made the call and Saul tabled {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for two pair. His opponent shook his head and mucked his cards, allowing Saul to scoop up the pot.
