Antonius Tanks for 10 Minutes
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
We just caught the end of a big in hand in which Finnish poker star Patrik Antonius went into the tank for well over 10 minutes, and well into the break, before folding in a huge pot.
The board showed 
when Philipp Kober was all in for 176,000 from the small blind, Anthony Zinno shoved for 417,000 from the under-the-gun position and then the action was on Antonius.
The Finn eventually folded, and claimed he had 
, and the showdown went as following.
Zinno: 
Kober: 
The river was the 
and Kober hit a flush to double up, leaving Zinno with a short stack.

Khoroshenin called.
McDonald:
Khoroshenin:

Korenev's Set Sends Levy Home
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
On a 
board we saw Nir Levy at risk against Roman Korenev. It looked as though Levy had checked to Stuart McDonald who bet 39,000, followed by a raise from Korenev to 109,000. After this raise it was Levy who moved all in for about 450,000 and McDonald folded his cards.
Korenev called right away, and Levy wondered if his opponent had a set. Levy's suspicions were confirmed, and he was drawing dead.
Levy:
Korenev: 
"I got away from it," McDonald said with a smile to one of his buddies, claiming he had folded ace-queen.
The river was the and Korenev raked in this pot.
