Antar Also Busts Urosevic

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Joe Antar arrived with his massive stack at a new table and defended his big blind against a raise by Stefan Urosevic from early position. On the {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Antar check-called a bet of 30,000 and check-raised the {4-Clubs} turn from 55,000 to 140,000. Urosevic moved all in for more than 400,000 and Antar snap-called.

Stefan Urosevic: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Joe Antar: {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Urosevic could all but shake his head as he was already drawing dead, and the {a-Spades} river was a mere formality to see Antar jump into an even bigger lead over the remaining contenders.

Cezary Klimczak open-shoved for his last 87,000 and was called by Mark Lassau.

Klimczak tabled the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} while Lassau was ahead with the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop gave Lassau top pair and Klimczak was in need of a nine for a straight. The {k-Diamonds} turn added more outs but the {6-Diamonds} river came a blank to send the Day 1b chip leader to the rail in 58th place.
