Antonius Tanks Preflop
Phil Ivey opened for 175,000 on the button and Patrik Antonius hit the tank from the small blind. He thoughts for one minute, then two . . . three . . . four . . . five . . . six . . . "All in."
Gus Hasen wasted little time in folding from the big blind, and Ivey asked for a count. Even though there are two dealers at the table, Hansen volunteered, reached over, and began breaking down Antonius' stack, which ended up being a little over 900K. Ivey took a moment to stare up at the ceiling before spiraling his cards toward the muck.
