Antoine Saout Eliminated in 3rd Position (A$383,040)
Antoine Saout raised to 100,000 from the button and was soon facing a three-bet to 325,000 from small blind James Chen. Brandon Adams folded his big blind and action was back on Saout. The Frenchman shoved for exactly 1.2 million and Chen immediately asked for a count.
As the tournament director counted out Saout's stack, Chen repeatedly said: "I'm probably going to call."
In the end, Chen did call and it turned out to he was the heavy favorite.
James Chen: 
Antoine Saout: 
The 
flop gave Saout some chop outs on top of his live nine, but the 
on the turn and 
on the river weren't cards he was hoping for.
