Heads up to a flop of 
and a bet of 1,100 from Neuville saw his opponent surrender his cards without a moment's further thought.
It is not always clear in these big field tournaments if the players at Neuville��s table are aware of who he is and what he has achieved in the poker world, as he seems to project such a placid and unassuming, almost bemused appearance.
Neuville may be 74 years old but he is a fixture on the European tournament circuit and a serial online qualifier. He puts in the hours and has a huge amount of experience. What he does have in spades is stamina and a passion for poker, essential if you want to compete in these multi-day tournaments.
Neuville famously demonstrated all these attributes when he finished seventh in the 2015 WSOP Main Event for $1,203,293.
At the poker table, appearances can be deceptive and knowledge is power.
