. Cada checks behind. The dealer burns and turns the 
and both check again again. On the 
river, Moon's bet of 4.0 million produces a fold from Cada.
Darvin Moon - 53,775,000
Average - 48,705,000
Joseph Cada - 46,325,000
Antoine Saout - 39,600,000
is our flop. Buchman checks to Saout, who bets 2.375 million. After a minute Buchman puts in a small check-raise to 5.0 million. Saout hasn't shown a propensity to make quick decisions at all today, and with the clock now reading almost 4:15am his decisions are coming even more slowly. He does finally put in a raise to 11.225 million.It's like a game of tennis played by 80-year-old snails. The ball is arcing, achingly slowly, back into Buchman's court and he's inching towards it. After about two minutes he puts together several stack of chips. He punches the ball back to Saout, the price of poker now a total of 21.225 million chips. It's 10.0 million back to Saout.
We're suprised someone didn't have to nudge Saout awake, given how long this hand has already taken. There's certainly no noise coming from the theater as everyone wonders what Saout is going to do. Shove? Fold? Those seem to be the only options.
It's 4:20am when Saout finally folds. A twelve-minute hand is won by Buchman, taking about 13.0 million chips out of Saout's stack.
Buchman - 56.1 million
Saout - 39.6 million

It brings
and a check from the first two players. Buchman decides to stab at the pot with 3 million chips, and Antoine Saout makes the call. Not to be outdone, Darvin Moon announces, "All in." The move sends Saout deep into the tank as he stares down at his chips and the felt in front of him. Moon has moved in a couple times in recent memory, and no doubt Saout is thinking about that as well. In the end, though, he decides to forfeit his hand and let Moon take the sizable pot.Moon is back in the chip lead now with 55,275,000 chips. He's moved just ahead of Saout's 53,450,000.
