Alerted by a tweet from Scott Seiver, a closer look at his table was warranted, as a huge pot had played out to leave him short.
The player that benefited in the hand in question was none other than Antoine Saout, who finished in third place in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event for $ 3,479,670.
According to Saout, a short stack moved all in for 81,500 with pocket nines, and Seiver just called with his aces. Saout moved all in over the top for 488,000 with pocket kings and Seiver snap-called. There was no drama on the flop and turn, but Saout spiked a king on the river to bust the short stack and push his own stack above one million.
