Saul Busts Sol

Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul has just added another 20,000 in chips to his stack with the elimination of Canadian Sol Bergren.

Saul opened the pot with a raise from under-the-gun and Bergren re-popped it to 5,000 from late position. Saul made the call and the flop came down {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Saul then passed the first action to Bergren who opened with a 5,000 bet. Saul then check-raised to 15,000, a move that was met with an all in bet from Bergren, who had a total of approximately 18,000 in chips.

Saul made the call and revealed {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}; Bergren flipped over a pocket pair of jacks.

The turn ({5-Clubs}) brought disaster for Bergren, as it gave Saul trip fives and the lead in the hand. Bergren would need to catch a jack and a jack only on the river to stay alive, but would get no such luck, as the last card off the deck was the {4-Clubs}.

Saul pushed past the 70,000 mark in chips after the hand.
