Secondary Table Hands #152-154: Sinclair Folds a Straight Against Saout
Hand #152: Jack Sinclair made it 1,200,000 to go from the hijack, and Antoine Saout called in the big blind.
The flop fell 
, and Saout checked. Sinclair continued for 1,500,000, and Saout called. The 
turn paired the board, and Saout checked once more. Sinclair fired a second barrel worth 3,300,000, and Saout check-raised to 7,875,000, leaving himself with less than 10,000,000 behind. Sinclair called to create a pot of almost 22 million, and the 
river completed the board. Saout moved all in for his last 9,850,000, and Sinclair tanked.
"I have a really strong hand here," the Brit said.
Short stack Karen Sarkisyan called the clock, and Sinclair folded 
for a straight face-up. Pedro Oliveira and Bryan Piccioli said that they wanted to bet on Saout's holdings and promised to be watching the broadcast.
Hand #153: Sinclair made it 1,200,000 to go from early position, and Benjamin Pollak called in the cutoff. On the 
flop, Sinclair checked, and Pollak bet 1,400,000, which Sinclair called. The 
turn brought another check from Sinclair and a bet of 2,600,000 from Pollak, which won the pot.
Hand #154: Sinclair raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun, and Piccioli called in the cutoff, as did Hesp in the small blind and Sarkisyan in the big blind.
Hesp bet the 
flop for 1,500,000, and Sinclair was the only caller. The 
appeared on the turn, and both players checked. After the 
river completed the board, the action went check-check again.
Hesp tabled 
, and that was good enough to win the pot.
