Antonius Holds for Piles
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Patrik Antonius is pushing for the chip lead after winning a huge pot.
We picked up action after what appeared to be an early open and two calls, followed by a big blind three-bet to 3,600. Everyone called, and it went four ways to 
. Action checked to the opener, who bet 8,000. Antonius called, the small blind called, and the big blind pushed all in for about 33,000. The opener mucked, and Antonius reshoved, forcing a fold from the third player.

Big blind: 
Antonius had flopped two pair but had a bunch of cards to dodge when the 
turn gave his opponent a straight draw. The river brought a safe 
for Antonius.
