Patrik Antonius - eliminated

Patrik Antonius, nicknamed "God" by some in the poker world, has been eliminated from the tournament. He was short-stacked for most of the day. His final hand was a three-way limped pot from the big blind. Antonius made the first aggressive action on the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

flop by betting 4,500 into the 8,700-chip pot. One opponent raised to 12,400. Antonius had about 18,000 behind his original bet.

"Ok," said Antonius with a shrug. He splashed all of his chips into the pot. His opponent quickly called.

"I know I have the worst of it," Antonius said as he showed down a pair of fives, {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

. He was right; his opponent showed a pair of fives with a better kicker, {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

.

"Oh, very bad," Antonius remarked. It didn't get any better. Th turn was the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

and the river the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

, giving Antonius' opponent an unnecessary two pair and sending Antonius to the rail.
