Hand #45 - Antoine Saout Doubles Up through Darvin Moon | 2009 WSOP Main Event - The Final Table

Jeff Shulman has the button. With the crowd still murmuring about the ridiculous double-up of James Akenhead, Antoine Saout opens the next pot to 750,000 from the cutoff. Darvin Moon, sitting in the small blind and a player who hasn't been very active yet today, is the only caller.

The flop comes down {K-Spades}

. Moon has first action and leads into Saout for 2.3 million. Saout grabs three stacks of lavender chips and shoves them into the middle of the table in one motion, a raise to 6.75 million. Moon announces that he is all in; Saout beats him into the pot for roughly 9.9 million total. For the second hand in a row we have an all-in and call!

Moon: {A-Hearts}

Saout:

Saout has bottom two pair, which is way, way, waaaaaaaaaay the favorite over Moon's total airball. Moon's face seems to have turned a bit red with his hand caught firmly in the cookie jar. While we wait for ESPN to give the go-ahead for the board, Saout takes a sip of water to calm himself for what he hopes will be a double-up.

The turn {3-Diamonds}

is a minor sweat card, as it gives Moon a gutshot wheel draw. The crowd erupts in giddy anticipation, delighted to see that Moon's not drawing dead. But there's no suckout. The river {2-Spades}

is a safe card for Saout, giving him deuces full of jacks and allowing him to secure a double-up to roughly 22.0 million.

That's the first hit of the day for Moon. He's down to 49.5 million.
