Saout Doubles, Margereson Slips to Third Place
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Shyngis Satubayev open raised to 100,000 from late position, Scott Margereson called in the small blind, then Antoine Saout moved all in from the big blind for 1,600,000. Satubayev folded and Margereson made the call. Players turned their cards, with Saout at risk.
Antoine Saout: K♣K♥
Scott Margereson: 10♥10♣
The board ran out 2♦7♥Q♥8♥9♥. Saout was already ahead with pocket kings and improved to a flush on the river to double up his stack.
Margereson stood up, visibly dismayed, let out a sigh, walked away from the table and returned with a frown on his face. After claiming a significant chip lead at the start of the final table, he now stands third in chips.
