Phua Left Short After Clash With Antonius
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Paul Phua in the cutoff raised to 25,000 with 
and Patrik Antonius called with the 
on the button. After the 
flop, Phua asked for the stack size of his opponent, to which Antonius replied "I started with three million." Phua bet 35,000 and Antonius called to spike the 
turn for a straight.
Phua checked and Antonius bet one third pot for 55,000, which Phua called with his two pair and royal flush draw. The 
river was a blank, however, and Phua check-folded to a bet of 235,000
