Hand #256 - Moon Moves In

Eric Buchman has the button. Darvin Moon comes in with a raise to 2 million under the gun, and Eric Buchman calls in position. Joe Cada folds his small blind, but Antoine Saout makes the call as well to go three-handed to the flop.

It brings {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} 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.
