Antonius and Ferguson Tangle in Biggest Pot of the Night

Patrik Antonius

The biggest pot of the tournament has just gone to Patrik Antonius at the expense of Chris Ferguson.

Antonius raised to 13,000 from early position, before Ferguson popped it up to 41,500 from the big blind. The action was back with Antonius who remained motionless as he announced another raise of the pot to 140,000. Ferguson moved all in and Antonius called.

With 440,000 chips in the pot the cards were tabled:

Antonius: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Ferguson: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The flop of {3-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Diamonds} changed nothing but the {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn to give Antonius a two-outer to take the lead! As is the style of both players, they both incredibly remained absolutely motionless and didn't react in the slightest to this card! The river was the {5-Clubs} and Ferguson calmly cut out the required chips and slid them to Antonius.

Ferguson is not out, but he's now the short stack with only 35,000 chips as Antonius storms to the chip lead with 440,000.
