A-K Fails Antonius

Patrik Antonius was heads up in the small blind against Anton Ionel who had the button. The flop read {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and Antonious checked to Ionel, who bet 1,150. Antonius check raised to 3,600, and Ionel made the call. The turn brought the {4-Spades}, and Antonius calmly put together a bet of 5,600, and slid it into the pot. Ionel thought for about 30 seconds before making the call, and the river brought the {a-Spades}.

Antonius sat still as a statue for about 30 seconds before finally making a move towards his chips. He put together a bet of 12,200, and put it in the middle. Ionel snap called, and Antonius quickly showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for top two. It wasn't good however, as Ionel showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for rivered Broadway. After losing that hand, Antonius is back below his starting stack, sitting on 28,000, while Ionel is sitting on 65,000.
