Hand #65 - Steve Begleiter

Phil Ivey has the button. Antoine Saout opens from middle position to 1.1 million, folding all players to big blind Steve Begleiter. Begleiter deliberates and then puts in a matching call.

Both players check a flop of {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}. The {5-Spades} hits the turn, bringing a bet from Begleiter. Saout calls. The river is the {6-Diamonds}. Action goes check-check, with Begleiter showing {8-Spades} and something -- we couldn't see the other card -- to take the pot.
