Deja Vu?

The table talk has once again evaporated. The reason why? Another monster PLO pot that went to Antonius. It started out innocently enough with a preflop raise and call. Dwan check-called a bet of $12,000 with the flop showing {5-Hearts}

. He checked again on the turn {8-Clubs}

and then called Antonius' bet of $32,000.

The river paired the board {6-Clubs}

. Dwan tanked for more than a minute, then bet $73,000. Finally we had some movement from Antonius. He put his hand on a stack of AU$25,000 flags and ever so slightly started tapping them with his pointer finger. After a minute he pushed them into the middle, a raise to $175,000.

For the second time in a big PLO pot, Dwan didn't want to go to showdown. He mucked his hand after thirty seconds, his stack $123,000 shorter.
