Another High-Stakes Tennis Match with Patrik Antonius and Brandon Adams On the Way

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Although Patrik Antonius recently busted from the €10,600 Main Event, there's plenty more events for him to get in on, like the one-day €50,000 Super High Roller. Before he was eliminated, PokerNews' Remko Rinkema caught up with Antonius to talk about what he's been up to lately and get the lowdown on a second high-stakes tennis match against Brandon Adams.

Last time the two battled on the court, Antonius defeated Adams easily. According to Antonius, Adams has improved his game, so the match will be a little bit more competitive. Antonius will also start each of his serves down 0-30.

Danzer Flushed from the EPT11 Grand Final

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
George Danzer in the SHR.

Team PokerStars Pro and reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champ George Danzer opened for 800 and received a call from the UK's Victor Ilyukhin. After the flop came down {8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, Danzer fired out 2,000 and Ilyukhin moved all in. Danzer quickly called off for 7,150 total and the cards were turned on their back.

Danzer: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Ilyukhin: {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Danzer got it in good, but Ilyukhin was drawing to a flush draw. Much to Danzer's dismay, a third club appeared on the board when the {9-Clubs} reared its ugly head. Danzer was drawing dead, and he watched helplessly as the {9-Hearts} river made his elimination official.

Chip Counts just before the Dinner Break

The Ladies Dethrone King Antonius

We missed the elimination of Patrik Antonius, but upon hearing of his demise we made our way over to his former table to garner some details. Fortunately, Stephen Chidwick was there and filled us in on what happened to the former tennis star.

According to Chidwick, Antonius got his stack all in holding pocket kings and was primed to double through a player holding pocket queens. Antonius held on the flop, but then the dealer burned and turned a lady to drive a dagger through his heart. The river was of no consequence, and that was all she wrote for Antonius.

Meanwhile, Peter Chan and former EPT champ Oleksii Khoroshenin have also been eliminated from the EPT11 Grand Final Main Event.

Nitsche Runs Into Aces, but It Ain't No Thing

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Matthew Volosevich opened for 1,000 under the gun only to have Dominik Nitsche three-bet all in for 9,000. Action folded back to Volosevich, who snap-called.

Volosevich: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Nitsche: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Nitsche's big pocket pair was crushed, but salvation was to be had as the {j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop delivered him a third fish hook. Neither the {3-Clubs} turn nor {5-Clubs} river harmed Nitsche, and he doubled through Volosevich.

The Old Schemion Massage

An under-the-gun player opened for 1,325 and action folded to Ole Schemion in the big blind. The German wunderkind opted to defend and then both players checked the {3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. When the {Q-Spades} appeared on the turn, Schemion led out for 3,350 and his opponent quickly folded.

Schemion shot up his arms, smiled his cheeky grin, and flashed the {J-Diamonds}.
