Saccucci Beats Saout in Showdown

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Antoine Saout raised the button with the {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and was called by Jordan Saccucci called in the big blind with the {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop was checked by Saccucci and Saout bet 150,000, Saccucci check-raised to 425,000 and that won the pot right there.

Saccucci raised to 375,000 in the next small blind with the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Saout defended the big blind with the {j-Spades}{7-Spades}. The {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop brought a bet worth 150,000 by Saccucci and a swift call from Saout, who then gained equity with the {8-Spades} turn.

Saccucci bet just 275,000 to get called by Saout and both missed on the {4-Diamonds} river. They knuckled it down and Saccucci won the pot with his king-high.

Saout Almost Even With Saccucci

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Antoine Saout opened to 300,000 on the button with the {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Jordan Saccucci called in the big blind with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}. The {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop was checked by the Canadian and Saout's bet of 200,000 was called.

After the {q-Diamonds} turn, Saccucci checked with a gutshot and Saout bet another 375,000 to receive a call. The {8-Clubs} river missed Saccucci and he elected to check, which sent Saout into a brief tank before he announced a bet of 2,000,000.

The instant fold by Saccucci followed and the two big stacks were almost even after the hand.

Saout Gets Value From Pilhofer

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Antoine Saout limped the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Istvan Pilhofer checked his option with the {10-Spades}{2-Spades}. The {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop gave Pilhofer top pair and Saout bet the minimum to get called by the Hungarian.

Saout then bet another 525,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn and Pilhofer came along to see the {j-Clubs} on the river.

What followed was another bet worth 825,000 by Saout with his overpair and that sent Pilhofer into the tank. "How can you always have it," he sighed. Ultimately, Pilhofer could not get away from it and Saout pulled further ahead to pile more misery on his opponent.

Istvan Pilhofer raised to 400,000 from the small blind with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Jordan Saccucci picked up {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} for the second time today and three-bet to 1,200,000 from the big blind. Pilhofer called.

The turn {2-Diamonds} came. Pilhofer checked once more. Saccucci doubled the previous street's bet and slid in 2,000,000. Pilhofer thought for a while, using a time bank on the spot. Eventually, he let his cards go and saw the pot pushed to Saccucci.
