First Blood: Patrik Antonius

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

I missed the preflop raise (lots going on here), but it was probably to $7,000 -- that seems the standard. Dwan checked to Antonius, who bet $10,000 on a board of {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

. Dwan called.

Dwan check-called $25,000 more on the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

turn, then check-folded to a $65,000 bet on the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

river.

A few hands later, Antonius showed down the winner in a hand with little betting. Each player put in a total of $22,000. Antonius' {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

was the winner on a board of {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}
