Antunes and Mash Get in a Raising War
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Howard Mash opened to 12,500 from the hijack and Marcos Antunes three-bet to 38,500 in the cutoff. The button and the blinds folded which put the action back on Mash. He splashed in a four-bet to 97,500 only to have Antunes five-bet all in. Mash called and the hands were tabled.
Marcos Antunes: 
Howard Mash: 
The board ran out 
and Antunes' two pair, kings and eights, held up to be the winner. After the chips were counted, Antunes had Mash covered by a mere 2,000 chips, sending Mash to the rail in 18th place.
