: 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Luca Pagano opened to around 6,000 under the gun and it folded all the way around to Antoine Saout in the big blind, who re-popped to 15,300. After a few moments' thought, Pagano called.
Both players checked the 
flop and they saw a 
turn for free. Saout tanked up long enough for the dealer to appear as though his soul had left his body, before betting out 11,600. Over to Pagano, who tanked for even longer but eventually gave it up.
Saout increased his stack to 100,000, announcing, "The nuts," and flashing his table a rare smile. Pagano dipped to 95,000.
