Antonius Doubles Up Shortly After Sitting Down
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Patrik Antonius open-raised to 1,800 from the button and Petre Ionescu made a big shove for 23,500 from the big blind. Antonius took a moment before putting his chips in the middle to make the call. Ionescu was at risk as players flipped their cards.
Petre Ionescu: 4♦4♥ 
Patrik Antonius: A♦9♦
The board ran out 10♦Q♣A♣7♥Q♦ and Antonius paired his ace, making two pair with the queens on board to win the pot. Antonius, who won the €100,000 Super High Roller here in Monte Carlo last year, sat down with a 30,000 starting stack shortly after the dinner break and after this hand, nearly doubled it.
