Patrik Antonius Eliminated in 41st Place (AU$20,000)

We've lost the player who was arguably the biggest name left in the field. Patrik Antonius had a tough day today, never really amassing any chips. His demise came in a three-way pot that was raised preflop by Elliot Smith and called by Richard Ashby.

Antonius was first to act after the flop came down {J-Clubs}

. He checked, as did Smith and Ashby. On the turn {3-Diamonds}

, Antonius bet 22,000. Each of his opponents called to the river, which fell {5-Clubs}

. Antonius led out again for 70,000. That was enough to chase off Smith, but Ashby responded by moving all in for more than 400,000. He had Antonius well covered.

Antonius tanked for as long as we've seen anyone tank in this tournament, probably a solid five minutes. He finally called time on himself. As a floor supervisor counted down the final five seconds of Antonius' allotted one minute, Antonius called and tabled {K-Spades}
