Winning Pots, That's What It Saul About

Before the flop, Kevin Saul raised from early position and the action folded around to Shane Abbott who re-raised from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Saul called before the dealer spread the flop of {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Saul check-called Abbott's bet of 8,500 after the flop, as well as on the turn of the {3-Diamonds} after Abbott's bet of 17,000 before both players elected to check down the river {A-Diamonds}.

"I have an ace," said Saul, rolling up {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Abbott mucked, but the swarm of ESPN crew members were quick to pounce, retrieving the hand (which was still visible) from the muck and mock hole-camming it before the pot was scooped over.
