Antonius Doubles Through Kisacikoglu in Huge Pot
Justin Bonomo opened to 40,000 in early position and was called by Orpen Kisacikoglu in the hijack.
Action folded to Patrik Antonius on the button, who produced a three-bet to 160,000. Only Kisacikoglu called.
On the J♥9♠10♣ flop, Kisacikoglu check-called a bet of 125,000 from Antonius.
The 4♠ rolled off on the turn and Kisacikoglu again checked to Antonius, who slid out a bet of 250,000. After some thought, Kisacikoglu produced the check-jam for around 1,200,000. Antonius made the quick call to put himself at risk.
Patrik Antonius: K♣Q♦ 
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 10♦10♠
In a complete cooler, Antonius had flopped the nut straight, while Kisacikoglu had the middle set of tens.
Kisacikoglu needed the board to pair on the river, but the A♣ river improved Antonius to an ace-high straight.
