Saout Busts Nakladal to Claim the Top Spot
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Jan Nakladal raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Antoine Saout three-bet to 205,000 from one seat over, which Nakladal called. On the flop, Nakladal checked and called a bet worth 225,000 by Saout before checking again on the turn. Saout fired a second barrel worth 475,000 and Nakladal check-raised all in for more than a million, which Saout quickly called.
The camera crews rushed to the table to record the showdown, though Nakladal was already drawing dead.
Nakladal:
Saout:
A meaningless on the river gave the Czech trips aces and he headed to the rail. Brandon Meyers said, "Say something for the cameras," which saw Saout say just two words with a big grin on the face: "Running good."
