Nível 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the pot already up to over 150,000, Antoine Saout and Gary Miller were clashing in a hefty pot with the fully completed. Saout checked to Miller, who shipped it in for 182,000 total.

The Frenchman agonized over his decision and had to use up all of his four time extensions to come to a decision. With mere seconds left in his final bit of extra time, Saout opted to throw away his hand.

Miller calmly showed for the bluff to rake in the massive pot. Saout appeared unfazed, but this one had to sting for the two-time WSOP Main Event final tablist as he is now without timebank as well.
