Saul Makes Misstep

Kevin Saul raised preflop to 3,000 and was three-bet by Carol Ventura to 8,000. Saul made the call and the flop came {8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Saul checked and Ventura continued out with 10,000. Saul made the call. The turn came {5-Hearts} and Saul checked once again. Ventura moved all in for 23,900 and Saul made the call. The cards were turned up:

Saul: {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Ventura: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Saul was behind with a pair of deuces and failed to improve on the river. The pot was pushed Ventura's way and Saul was knocked down but still in healthy shape.
