Antonius vs. Negreanu: Only One Will Survive

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Patrik Antonius

A big pot just took place between two of the world's most popular players in Daniel Negreanu and Patrik Antonius. It was a hand that would see one of them fall.

It began when the Team PokerStars Pro opened with a raise from middle position and the Finn called from the button. The blinds folded, the flop came down {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, and Negreanu continued for 15,000. Antonius called, the dealer burned and turned the {8-Clubs}, and Negreanu bet again, this time 27,000.

Antonius decided to push back with a raise to 105,000, and Negreanu made the call. "Kid Poker" then checked the {6-Hearts} river and Antonius moved all in for his last 191,000. Negreanu, who was getting a massage, shifted in his chair and began putting together some chips.

Eventually he shrugged and said, "I guess I'll call." Antonius rapped the table and Negreanu then tabled his {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for trips. "I'm really only beating a bluff," Negreanu added. Whether Antonius was bluffing or not remains a mystery as he mucked his hand. The only sure thing was that Negreanu had him beat and scored the knock out.

About a minute after Antonius busted, Australian Jeff Rossiter entered the field and took his seat at the table.
