Antoine Saout is generally a quiet presence on the tables in a tournament. It's hard to believe how close he really came to winning the WSOP main event last year, but he doesn't ever seem to suffer under the weight of expectation, rather just gets on with his job quietly.
Joining the action on the turn, Erik Haik check-called a bet of 6,975 with the board reading 
. The river was the 
and Haik checked once more.
Saout thought for a couple of minutes before counting his chips and firing out 16,100 to put more pressure on Haik for a decision that would cost the latter most of his stack. After about five minutes of hard thinking, Haik called the clock on himself, as everyone else suddenly gained a great deal of interest. The tournament director came by and began to count down the clock, eventually Haik ran out of time and he mucked his 
face up.
A wordless Saout quietly scooped the pot.
