when Antoine Saout bet out 33,000 from the small blind and Tom Marchese shoved from the big. Saout made the call, the TV crew jumped to their feet to record the action for posterity, and the cards were revealed.Saout:

With that, Marchese doubled to a shade under 450,000. Saout sighed and was left with around 50,000.
"Congratulations, players. You are now all in the money," Tournament Director Kevin said over the microphone.
We'll play on until we set our final table of eight.

Flop:
Antoine Saout, Michael Frederic, Sorel Mizzi, and Allen Bari all checked to the turn.
Turn:
Saout and Frederic checked. When it got to Mizzi, he bet 40,000. Bari and Saout folded and Frederic bumped it up 75,000 more.
Mizzi went into the tank for a good 5 minutes or so, before moving all in. Frederic took another few minutes to think about what he was going to do before folding.
The TV cameras were filming the whole thing and when Frederic folded, Mizzi said, "Want to see?" He then turned over
for a stone-cold bluff.
Yacoub:
Marafioti:
The board rolled out
and Marafioti hit the rail.
A save it is. And it's quite possible the agreement was reached simply because the rest of the field just wanted Matt Marafioti to stop complaining.
The flop showed
when we saw the money go in, and Berende had all 296,000 of his remaining chips in the middle. He flipped up 
only to see he had been coolered in the worst way by Busquet's 
. The tension built for about two solid minutes as the camera crews gathered around and the pot was made right. Finally, the turn:
Bink, as they say. Berende clapped his hands together and let out a big, "Yes!" as the blank
filled out the board. Berende apologized to Busquet for his outburst, but he was clearly thrilled by that gnarly double up. He's back to around 650,000, and still very apologetic."Sorry for the reaction," he said again to Busquet. "Such a sick setup though."
"No worries," Busquet responded. "I understand. It was a big hand. Don't worry about it."
