Antoine Doubles!!!
Antoine Stands At Attention To Await His Fate
The dust hasn't even settled on the previous hand where Akenhead doubled up, and Antoine decided that he wanted to steal back the spotlight! Antoine opens the next pot with a bet of $750,000 from the cutoff. Darvin Moon, who's been quite up to this point, makes the call out of the blinds.
Flop: Ks-Jh-2c
Darvin Moon bets right out into raiser Saout for a healthy bet of 2.3 million. Antoine wastes little time before raising the price of poker to $6.75 million. Moon thinks for a bit befre declaring that he is all-in. Antoine nearly beatshim into the pot with a call, and we now have our second all-in in a row and first for Team Everest.
Showdown:
Darvin Moon: Ah-4d
Antoine Saout: Js-2h
Antoine has bottom two pair, up against the Ace-high of Moon, which immediately sends the "Sa-ooooooooooo-ut" section of fans into a roar of positive cheers and shouts of "Hold!"
Turn: 3d
Poker is never easy, and the turn card brings a seemingly drawing dead Darvin Moon a sign of life. Any five now gives us our first elimination and sends Antoine back to France with the same prize money he showed up with today!
River: 2s
Antoine's mighty J-2 holds strong and increases his stack to a dangerous $22 million in chips!
As the big stack Moon drops to $49.5 and Antoine surges, we go to a quick break in action.
