Is that a "BeL0WaB0Ve" Mistake?
World Series of Poker Foxwoods Main Event champ Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul knows how to win, but apparently he doesn't know the difference between a purple T500 chip and a gray T5,000 chip. To his credit, the lighting up on the stage isn't the greatest, so it's an understandable mistake.
It happened in hand just before the dinner break where there was approximately 5,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. A player in middle position bet 1,700, Saul called from the cutoff and the 
turn. This time the middle-position player checked and then moved all in for 8,900 after Saul bet 2,700.
It wasn't much more to Saul, who had a mountain of chips, but he took his time. The other players at the table eyed him carefully until he eventually folded.
"I think I know what happened there," Circuit regular Kenny Milam said. "Did you think those were grays?"
Just like that the light bulb went off for Saul. "I thought he shoved for 35,000 or something," he said. Saul, who claimed to have folded 
, seemed a little disappointed at first but soon let it go. "It's alright. The lighting in here is bad. You guys did the right thing by not saying anything during the hand."
