Pierre Neuville opened for 800 from early position and picked up one caller from the button as the blinds folded.
Heads up to a flop of and a bet of 1,100 from Neuville saw his opponent surrender his cards without a moment's further thought.
It is not always clear in these big field tournaments if the players at Neuville’s table are aware of who he is and what he has achieved in the poker world, as he seems to project such a placid and unassuming, almost bemused appearance.
Neuville may be 74 years old but he is a fixture on the European tournament circuit and a serial online qualifier. He puts in the hours and has a huge amount of experience. What he does have in spades is stamina and a passion for poker, essential if you want to compete in these multi-day tournaments.
Neuville famously demonstrated all these attributes when he finished seventh in the 2015 WSOP Main Event for $1,203,293.
At the poker table, appearances can be deceptive and knowledge is power.
