Patrik Antonius Eliminated

Patrik Antonius makes it 8,400 preflop, and Danny Felix calls from an earlier position. The flop comes {Q-Clubs}

, and Felix moves all in, covering Antonius, who thinks for a while before he calls all in for 33,000 with {Q-Diamonds}

for top pair. Felix shows {A-Hearts}

for a pair of queens with a higher kicker. Antonius needs a ten or something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card is the {4-Hearts}

, the river card is the {J-Diamonds}

, and Patrik Antonius, the feared Black Lotus of Poker, has been eliminated from the Main Event.

Antonius only had one in-the-money finish at this year's WSOP, but it was a big one; he finished third in $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, earning $311,394.
