: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Kevin Saul opened from the cutoff to 24,000 and Matthew Humphrey in the small blind and Dmitrii Valouev in the big blind both called. The flop came 
and all three players checked. On the 
turn it was checked to Saul who bet 34,000. Only Humphrey called leading to Saul saying "now he really wants me to fight for this pot."
The river was the 
and Humphrey checked again to Saul who made a large bet of 118,000 this time. "Unbelievable," said Humphrey as he started talking to himself. "I think you have it. You look like you have it so bad. Probably wrong."
Humphrey counted out the call but talked himself out of it and mucked himself. "Flat with aces again," asked Saul, adding "that seemed like a good river."
