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.

On a 
board, Swiss high roller Stefan Huber put his opponent to a decision for all his chips. It was more than 20,000 to call for Huber's opponent, who needed minutes to come to a decision. Eventually, the clock was called on him and with mere seconds to go, he called it off for his tournament life.
Huber showed 
for a set of nines, his opponent showed 
and quickly left the tournament area.

Nicholas Galtos was facing a bet of 11,700 from the player under the gun and on his right, with a completed board of 
between them. When we returned to the table a few minutes later, he was still tanking. Eventually, someone called a clock.
"Bluffing me?" Galtos asked with a smile. "Should I call?"
With less than 30 seconds left on the countdown, Galtos splashed in a call.
"Wow," his opponent said. "Good call."
After being shown , Galtos turned over 
and took the pot with trips.
"Good bluff," he said to his opponent. "I fold a lot of hands there."

Ludovic Geilich bet 3,500 into a pot of about 4,300 when an opponent under the gun checked to him on 
. That player called and then checked a turn. Geilich fired almost immediately for 8,000, and his opponent tanked a couple of minutes and mucked, ceding the pot to the man known as "Gr4vyBo4t" on Twitter.
