One of the best-known players on the European tour, Antoine Saout is also familiar to poker supporters in the United States having made two World Series of Poker Main Event final tables. He finished third in 2009, for $3.9 million, and fifth in 2017, for another $2 million.

Those results, eight years apart, speak to Saout’s longevity and immense talents — even though his deepest previous run at an EPT Main Event ended in a seventh-place finish in Monte Carlo in 2016. Like many French players, Saout, 38, now lives in London, in the Canary Wharf district, where he continues to play online. It’s also a base for his global travels to play poker.

Saout’s chip count progression
Entering Day 2: 77,500 (212th out of 434 remaining)
Day 3: 481,000 (27/117)
Day 4: 1,570,000 (8/30)

The last time 33-year-old Jordan Saccucci came to Prague he “got his ass kicked”, so when he returned to the Czechia capital this week, he had two objectives: have some fun and hopefully win some money back. Everything seems to be going to plan as he enters the penultimate day boasting a big chip lead.

Hailing from Mississauga, Toronto, Saccucci plays a lot of poker but doesn’t consider it his job. “I don’t rely on it, it can be rough!” he told us. You could say it’s been smooth sailing in this Main Event though, especially considering Saccucci busted another big stack with pocket aces versus pocket kings late last night. “It was a good feeling,” he says. “It got a bit shaky on the turn when the club came but it was a big pot!”

Saccucci’s chip count progression
Entering Day 2: 96,000 (158th out of 434 remaining)
Day 3: 437,000 (30/117)
Day 4: 925,000 (17/30)
Day 5: 9,560,000 (1/9)
Day 6: 12,925,000 (1/4)
