Antonius Bombs the River

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jamil Wakil opened to 13,000 first-to-act with K♠10♠ and was called by Patrik Antonius in the big blind with J♣2♣ for a heads-up pot.

The 9♠10♣A♣ flop improved both players and Antonius check-called an 18,000 bet from Wakil with his flush draw.

The 8♠ fell on the turn and both players checked.

The 8♣ river gave Antonius the winning hand with a flush and he fired an overbet of 100,000 into the middle.

Wakil didn't take long to let his hand go and Antonius collected the pot.
