Morris Doubles

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Patrik Antonius opened to 11,000 from early position and Simon Morris moved all in for roughly 41,000. Antonius made the call to put the Aussie Millions title holder at risk.

Antonius: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Morris: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The board filled out {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} to see Morris claim the pot and move to 90,000 as Antonius slips to 290,000.

Cusenza Clips Lederer

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Howard Lederer
Howard Lederer

On a board of {J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs} with around 25,000 in the pot, we found Adam Cusenza leading out from the big blind for 15,000.

Howard Lederer check-called from the big blind to see the {6-Clubs} complete the board on the river.

Lederer checked, Cusenza fired out 22,500 and Lederer deliberated for a few moments before making the call.

Cusenza tabled his {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and once Lederer flashed his {A-Clubs} and folded, Cusenza happily scooped the pot.

Dorfman Increases Lead

Randy Dorfman raised from the cutoff to 8,500. Cliff Lee called from the button and the flop came down {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Lee checked and Dorfman bet 9,000. Lee made the call.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and both players checked to see the {K-Clubs} complete the board. Both checked again.

Dorfman tabled the {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and beat Lee's {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to win the pot. He's up to 598,000 while Lee dropped to 125,000.

Antonius Survives

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
"You call with just top pair?"
"You call with just top pair?"

Haibo Chu entered the pot from early position to 8,000 only to have Patrik Antonius three-bet the button to 23,000.

Chu made the call before checking the {10c]{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop as Antonius continued for 35,000. Chu responded with a check-raise to 135,000 only to immediately have Antonius come over the top by moving all in for 278,000.

Chu went deep into the tank as forty, yes forty, players crowded table twenty-five in anticipation of a potential bubble burst.

After several minutes in the tank, Chu slid the chips into the pot signifying a call.

Chu: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Antonius: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

With Antonius in great shape to double, the turn and river blanked out with the {k-Spades} and {3-Spades} falling to see him double through to the chip lead with 609,000 as Chu slips to 110,000.
