Patience of a Sayegh

Pierre Sayegh seems determined not to make a critical mistake and is displaying extraordinary patience with his short stack. There have been several opportunities for him to just stick it in and see what happens but so far he has refused to do so. A recent hand illustrated his modus operandi.

Sayegh opened UTG +1 for 40,000, Andrei Nikonov makes it 107,000 from mid position and the blinds folded. Sayegh sat for a while, checked his cards once more, rubbed his eye and folded. He didn’t give off any sense that he was frustrated, just made his decisionand was on to the next hand.
