Tomeny Doubles Through Antar
Level 28
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Joseph Antar shoved from the small blind to put Michael Tomeny all in for his last 4,550,000 in the big blind.
Michael Tomeny: 6♠6♣
Joseph Antar: A♠2♦
The 3♦4♦8♦ flop kept Tomeny ahead with his sixes, but the 5♣ turn improved Antar to a wheel to take over the lead.
Tomeny was looking for a deuce or a seven on the river to keep his final table run alive, and sure enough, the 2♠ showed up on the river to award Tomeny the double up with a higher straight.
