David Saab got things started with a raise to 600 from early position. The cutoff and the small blind, Fred Madon, both came along to the flop.

It showed up {3-Clubs}

. Madon checked, allowing Saab to continue his lead with a bet of 1,200. The cutoff folded, and Madon pulled out a stack of yellow raising chips. After a moment, he decided to just flat call.

Fourth street: {5-Hearts}

. Both men checked.

The river brought the {2-Spades}

. Without hesitation, Madon announced, "Twenty-five hundred," flipping that amount casually forward.

"Really?!" said Saab immediately. He sat for several minutes, fingering his chips and shooting the occasional glance over at his stone-faced opponent. Finally, after about five minutes, Saab did indeed make the call, prompting Madon to immediately muck his cards. Saab takes down a nice little pot without showdown, and he has climbed up to right around the 20,000-chip mark.
