He's a Saul Man

There was an early-position limper before Kevin Saul raised to 1,100 from mid position. There were three callers including the original limper.

The flop came {8-Clubs} {4-Spades} {Q-Spades}. It was checked to Saul, who bet 3,000, and he only found a call from the early-position preflop limper.

The turn {7-Diamonds} was checked by both players before the river brought a {3-Hearts}.

The early-position player led out for a 6,000 bet and Saul called.

Early-position player showed {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}.
Saul showed {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} for the pot.

Saul extends his lead and is at 60,000 now.
