Boyko Doubles Through Antonius
A player in early position opened to 6,000 and Patrik Antonius three-bet to 17,000. Yuriy Boyko then moved all in from the small blind for 64,500, forcing a fold from the original raiser.
"I don't know how I can lay this down," Antonius quietly said as he contemplated his decision. He did not think for long before making the call to put Boyko at risk.
Yuriy Boyko: A♦K♣
Patrik Antonius: A♥J♦
Boyko was in good shape to double with a bigger ace and remained in the lead on the K♠6♠6♦ flop and 6♥ turn.
"Six!" one of Boyko's tablemates called for just before the river, which got a few laughs from around the table.
The river was the 7♠ and Boyko secured a full double up while making a small dent in Antonius' stack.
Meanwhile at another table, Michael Gathy has been eliminated from the tournament.
