Saout's Selective Aggression Pays Off

Antoine Saout has quietly risen up the chip counts and is currently sitting third. Saout has been selectively timing his raises, three-bets, and all-in pushes. Each time he puts chips into the pot he has been the aggressor and up to this point we have not seen him show down a hand.

It will be interesting to watch the ESPN coverage to see whether Saout was being crafty, or whether he was getting dealt a lot of premium hands. Can the Frenchman continue to ride the wave of momentum that's seen him go from second-to-last in chips, to third place?

Stay tuned to find out!
