In the middle of the poker room, 2009 WSOP November Niner Antoine Saout is seated at the same table as EPT Barcelona winner Sebastian Malec. Saout's biggest accomplishment of his poker career might have been eight years ago, the French superstar aged like fine wine and racked up no less than five (!) six-figure cashes in the past twelve months.
Saout is known for his aggressive play at the tables and three-bet to 1,650 after [Removed:102] had opened to 525. Apicella-Albertini called, but check-folded to a 1,525 continuation-bet on 
. Saout, hidden behind a white baseball cap, took down the hand and increased his stack to 35,000.
After the dealer spread out a 
board, Christian Stokkeland bet 11,500 in a pot of almost 15,000. Vasili Karpenkou made the call, but couldn't beat the Norwegian's 
for a full house.
