Antonius up Early After Joining Late
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Patrik Antonius just recently joined the field and was heads-up from under the gun against a player in middle position on a 4♥4♦5♣ flop.
Antonius checked to his opponent, who bet 1,800. Antonius then check-raised to 5,500 and, undeterred, his opponent re-raised to 12,500. Antonius called.
Both players checked on the 8♥ turn, but then Antonius bet a paltry 3,000 when the 8♦ completed the board. His opponent thought better of it and folded — conceding the pot to the high-stakes cash game specialist.
