Antonius Tank-Folds Preflop
Level 26
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Patrik Antonius opened to 160,000 on the button, Dan Shak three-bet to 500,000 from the small blind, and Antonius asked Shak for a count. Shak gave him a rough estimate, and then stared down the Fin. Antonius did not stare back, rather he stared at a single spot on the felt.
This one-man staredown went on for the better part of two minutes, until Shak finally turned away.
Antonius tanked for around 30 seconds more, then folded.
