With around 30,000 in the pot and a board reading , WPT champ Kevin Saul checked and Todd Burg bet 15,000 from the cutoff.
Saul woke up with an all-in check-raise to 31,300 and Burg thought for a bit before making the call.
“You have a pair?” Saul asked. Burg indicated that he did not. “Me neither.”
Saul:
Burg:

Kevin Saul - 99,000 (41 bb)
Todd Burg - 60,000 (25 bb)
