Score One for Saout

[user140525]

After a tablemate raised to 1,750 under the gun, Antoine Saout squeezed his cards and liked what he saw, making it 4,125 to go. Action folded back to the original raiser, Patrick Masliah, who announced "all in." Saout called before the words had even left his fellow Frenchman's mouth and instantly flipped over his hand: {A-Hearts}

. Masliah's {A-Spades}

was in trouble, and the board wasn't a whole lot of help.

Board: {Q-Spades}

Masliah got up to leave, but he seemed to be the only one at the table to think that Saout had him covered. When the stacks were counted down, Masliah was left with more than 15,000. Saout doubled to 38,000, putting him above starting stack for the first time since the second hour of play.
