Breaking News: Patrik Antonius is Good

The board read {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}, and Patrik Antonius was faced with an all in bet from his opponent of about 23,000 chips, with about 20,000 in the middle. Patrik took 3 or 4 minutes in the tank, before making the call.

His opponent turns over {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for two pair. Antonius flips over {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the baby flush, and rakes a big pot to put his stack over 100,000 chips.

Lights, Camera, Action

After a long 12 hour day yesterday highlited by player's napping and being reserved and polite. Today we have some action. Minneapolis Jim Meehan is holding court at this table with topics like:

Really bad players who have become good.
How much Jim himself has lost of his game.
Why he played this event: "Phil Hellmuth is on a plane to Europe."
Why he plays at all: "A question I have asked myself for year."
