Ayras Doubles Through Antonius
Level 1
: 100/200, 0 ante
As could be expected in the tournament that carries his name, Patrik Antonius is the catalyst to provide early action. He and Pauli Ayras were already building a decent-sized pot when the board read 
. Antonius, first to act, checked and Ayras bet 12,000, which the Finn called out of position.
On the 
river, Antonius checked and Ayras moved all in for his remaining 26,900. With just twenty seconds to act, Antonius was soon forced to dip into his time extensions and burned through two of them before calling off the bet.
Ayras had it though, with 
for trip eights, Antonius was forced to show 
for the decimation of his stack right off the bat.
