Huge Pot to Antonius

The game switched back to PLO a few hands ago. Like every other pot so far, the action was raised preflop. Dwan and Antonius checked through the {2-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {A-Hearts} flop. On the turn {6-Spades}, Antonius led out for $10,000. Dwan, his head bobbing like a hula-dancer toy on the dashboard of a New York City taxi, raised to $37,000.

Action was back to Antonius, and as I mentioned before, he was stock still. It's no surprise to anyone who's ever seen Antonius play on television, but it's really amazing to see it live. His foot wasn't even twitching. The only parts of his body that were moving were his eyelids, and I have to imagine that if Antonius could figure out a way to not blink without drying out his eyeballs, he'd do just that.

After some more thought, Antonius re-raised to $118,000. Dwan considered, then considered some more, and finally called to the river {3-Spades}. Antonius led out for $146,000 and took down the pot when Dwan flipped his cards into the muck.

That one will definitely make the broadcast. Speculation as to their hands begins in the Shout Box in three... two... one...
