Saout Out! Cada and Moon Heads-Up!
14 days ago
The heads-up match is decided and with the unfortunate elimination of Antoine Saout in third place it's Joe Cada and Darvin Moon who will return on Monday to decide a champion.
The last few hands were very sick with Cada summoning all the rungood he could muster to take the lead and subsequently eliminate the Frenchman.
We've got the details of how it all went down below but first check out the chip counts for the heads-up match. Cada and Moon will be back here at 10 p.m. Monday night to play to a winner so check back then to read it all live.
In the meantime we'll have a feature news story up tonight with quotes from all the final table players, as well as fun stuff in the blog section between now and then.
Joe Cada - 136,925,000
Darvin Moon - 58,875,000
Cada Runs Good; Takes Lead
Joe Cada just got it in on the bad side of a pair over pair clash but, just like the last time, the deck came to his rescue. Cada opened to 2.55 million and got three-bet by Antoine Saoutto 7.3 million. Cada four-bet all-in for close to 40 million total.
Saout insta-calls with queens and Cada is on the brink of elimination with pocket deuces.
Cada's very vocal cheering section is on its feet screaming for a deuce and that's exactly what they get as the flop comes down 9
7 2
. Saout's now looking for a backdoor flush or a queen but the turn and river provide neither.
Cada's up to 78 million while Saout is down to around 41 million.
Saout is stunned.
Cada Pushes Again
Joe Cada opens his button to 2.5 million and Darvin Moon calls from the big blind. The flop comes down K T 7
and Moon checks. Cada fires 3.75 million and Moon makes it 10 million straight.
Cada takes a moment before announcing all-in and after a short dwell Moon lets it go.
Saout Out! Cada Does the Deed!
Joe Cada is running good. That just might be the understatement of the year.
After a lot of action in the last few hands Cada and Saout get it all-in once again, this time with Saout at risk of elimination.
A-K for Cada is racing Saout's pocket eights but with the way Cada is running it doesn't seem much like a flip.
Saout's eights hold up all the way to the river when a king hits the felt. Saout is out in 3rd place for $3,479,485 while Cada takes a big lead into the heads-up match with Darvin Moon.

A New Leader Emerges; Three Remain
14 days ago
The last hour has been eventful. A new leader has emerged and the field has been whittled down by one more player.
Antoine Saout is the leader while Eric Buchman heads out the door in fourth. It was a rocky ride for Buchman and we've got all the details for you below.
Check those out as well as the new chip counts.
Big Bad Buchman
Antoine Saout opens to 1.925 million and gets a call from Eric Buchman in the small blind. The two go heads-up to a flop of T
3 2 and Saout fires 2,375,000 when it's checked to him.
Buchman check-raises to 5 million and the action's on Saout. He tanks for some time before putting in another raise to 11,225,000. Buchman, not one to be bullied, puts in yet another raise to 21,225,000.
Saout retreats back to the tank and after a few minutes decides to let it go. Buchman takes a big bite out of Saout's stack as we continue on to the next hand.
Buchman not so hot right now.
Saout Cripples Buchman; Takes Chip Lead
We just saw the biggest pot of the tournament so far, totaling almost 90 million! It began with Eric Buchman opening to 2.5 million on the button and Antoine Saout re-raising to 9 million from the big blind.
Buchman quickly announces all-in and Saout begins to think things through. After a bit of tanking he announces call and we see the hands.
Buchman: A Q
Saout: A K
The flop rolls out K T 7 and Saout increases his lead. He's looking to dodge a jack and does just that with another king on the turn. The river is a bricky looking six and just like that Antoine Saout is the overwhelming chip leader.
Eric Buchman, meanwhile, is knocked down to just under 10 million.
Moon's got some gamble.
Buchman Doubles
Buchman was in push/fold mode after that last beating and got looked up by Darvin Moon after stealing a few blinds and antes.
A-7 for Moon was in the lead against Buchman's K-T but fell behind when a king hit the flop. Another king on the turn made it official and Buchman was good for the double.
The Buch Stops Here (4th)
Darvin Moon opened the very next hand and Eric Buchman shoved all-in. Moon made the call and turned over K J which was trailing Buchman's A 5. The flop came down Q 9 2, giving Moon a gutshot to go with his pair draws.
The turn was a king, putting Buchman at risk, and the river was the 5, eliminating him from this final table.
Buchman is out in fourth place and will take home $2,502,787.
