Kevin Saul has enjoyed a positive Sunday afternoon, having built his chip stack well over 200,000 to challenge for the chip lead. He just added a few more to his stack in a three-way hand also involving Tom Cope.
After a Cope raise and both blinds calling �� with Saul in the small blind �� the flop came and Saul checked. The big blind bet 4,000, Cope raised to 8,000, and both Saul and the big blind called.
The turn was the and this time Saul led for 10,000, and only Cope called. Both players then checked the river.
"One pair," said Cope, but Saul tabled for two pair to claim the pot.
