RELATED ARTICLES

Kevin Saul is a talented poker pro who goes by “BeL0WaB0Ve” online. At the age of 28, he is already a seasoned veteran of the online poker world with a bright future ahead of him. Saul got his start from a modest poker beginning, playing in small stakes live games as just a teenager in 1995. He continued to play live, but when he discovered online poker his game advanced much more rapidly. At first, Saul remained in low-limit cash games and small SNGs, but gradually moved into Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs). A psychology major, Saul finished his degree at Northern Illinois University and found a job after graduation. However, by January 2005, his progress in MTTs had taken him far enough that he quit his job to play poker full-time.

Since then, Saul has become one of the most well-known players on the Internet, with scores of railbird fans and abundant imitators. He helped to pioneer the aggressive style of poker that is closely associated with online poker today. He is extremely adept at building a large stack and knows how to use his chips effectively when he gets them. On Pokerstars alone, Saul has made over 160 final tables and won 28 tournaments.

Kevin Saul’s poker prowess isn’t confined to simply the online world. He has made a name for himself in the arena of live tournament play as well, with live tournament winnings of nearly $1.8 million. He has cashed in numerous WPT and WSOP events and made an impressive run in the 2006 World Poker Finals. However, he is best known for his first-place performance in the Bellagio Cup III Championship Event in July 2007. Saul defeated Mike “The Mouth” Matusow heads up in the $10,000 buy-in event, winning $1,342,320 for his efforts and sealing his reputation as a force to be reckoned with at any poker table.

In August 2008 during Full Tilt Poker’s FTOPS IX, Saul made an impressive run, taking 4th place in Event 12, 10th place in event 16, and 2nd place in Event 17, giving him FTOPS IX winnings totaling well over $200,000. His performance in the FTOPS brought his online poker winnings to date to over $2.2 million. You can find Kevin Saul as a guest instructor on the poker training site PokerXFactor.
