Antoine Saout - Poker Player Profile
Antoine Saout is from Saint Martin des Champs, France and is one of only two non-US born players of the 2009 “November Nine.” When the cards hit the air on November 7th, Saout will be one of the short stacks at the table with 9.5 million in chips.
The 25-year-old Frenchman is playing in his first ever World Series and has no documented live poker cashes or experience. Saout started playing poker approximately eighteen months ago and won his seat to the 2009 WSOP Main Event on the internet through a $50 satellite on Everest Poker. Many on the site are now sharing in the success that Saout is enjoying; thanks to Saout’s breakthrough of being an Everest Poker player who made it to the “November Nine,” 51 players have earned a share of $1 million, which breaks down to roughly $19,000 per person.
Saout has had potentially the toughest road to earning his way to the “November Nine” final table. For the final three days of play in the 2009 Main Event, he was in the unenviable position of being on the left of fellow “November Nine” combatant Phil Ivey. If he can use the information he gleaned from playing against arguably one of the best in the game today and gets an early jump start to his chip stack, Saout could be troublesome when the “November Nine” reconvene to determine the next World Champion.
