By the time we arrived the dealer had already put out all five community cards. On the table were the following cards: {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} | {4-Hearts} | {6-Spades}. Antoine Saout, back in 2009 third in the WSOP Main Event for $3,479,670, had pushed 3,500 forward from middle position. That amount of chips was enough to put the ultimate pressure on Roberto Romanello who had to either call for his tournament life, or fold.

He gave it some thoughts and eventually made the call. Saout showed his {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} immediately and Romanello mucked. The dealer turned his cards over though, because it was an all in showdown: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Romanello wished the entire table good luck, and made his way out of the door.
