Antonius has a Short Day Courtesy fo Shak
Well, it was a short and not so sweet stay for Patrik Antonius, who entered the tournament about 20 minutes ago.
We caught the action with 13,000 in the pot and a flop reading 
. Antonius had bet 7,200 from the under-the-gun position, only to have Dan Shak, who made Andrew Robl the first elimination at the end of Level 3, raise to 20,000 from the hijack. Antonius thought for a moment before moving all in for about 70,000 more, and Shak made the call with 
for a flush draw, which he needed to hit in order to overcome the Finn's 
.
That's exactly what Shak did as the 
rolled off on the turn, though Antonius could still win if the board paired on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. "I'll see you in a few minutes," someone at the table said to Antonius, referencing the fact that he was likely to re-enter.
"No, no, no," Antonius responded. "That's enough for me."
"I'm sure you'll be back in a few minutes," Shak added with a smile. Whether or not Antonius returns remains to be seen, but for now he has exited the tournament area.
