Pickering Picks One Up

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action folded to one of the lovely PokerNews video hostesses Nicki Pickering in the cutoff seat. She limped in before action was on Kevin Saul on the button. Saul raised to 325. The small blind called, the big blind folded and then Pickering called.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and everyone checked to see the {8-Clubs} fall on the turn. Action checked to Saul on fourth street and he bet 550. The small blind called and then Pickering called.

The {8-Diamonds} on the river paired the board and the small blind checked. After he did so, Pickering moved all in for 1,250. Saul folded and then the small blind followed suit, allowing Pickering to pick up the pot and move to 5,475.
