Saab the Master

David Saab raised to 300, and Shane Dye and Tony Cowan came with him to the flop.

It brought {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Cowan was in the small blind, and he checked. Saab put out a bet of 600, Dye folded, and Cowan called.

Fourth street was the {6-Spades}, and both players checked. The river paired the board with the {Q-Hearts}. Cowan grabbed the lead now, sliding out 1,200 chips, and Saab made the call.

Cowan tabled {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for a complete miss, and Saab spiked his cards down on the table: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. His good call with ace-high earns him the small pot and a nice moral victory.

"I shouldn't have tried to bluff the master!" chuckled Cowan.
