Antonius Running Good

[user75032]

Life's easy when you flop the nuts. Patrik Antonius was in the small blind when a middle-position player opened the preflop action to 1,500. Antonius re-raised to 6,300, then quickly and silently called when the original raiser moved all in for about 12,000 total.

There wasn't much drama in this one. Antonius showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

against his opponent's {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

and promptly flopped the joint, {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. When no jack and no board pair appeared on the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

turn, Antonius' opponent was drawing dead.

Antonius is up to almost 60,000 in chips.
