Lee Nelson Doubled Up Against Patrik Antonius

In the biggest pot of the tournament, Lee Nelson doubled through Patrik Antonius. On a flop {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Nelson bet 15K and Antonius raised him 45K. Nelson quickly moved all in for the rest of his chips. Antonius reluctantly called with {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Nelson flipped over {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flush draw.

A huge crowd gathered around the table as the defending champion's tournament life was on the line. Although Antonius was ahead, he had a worried look on his usually stoic face. The turn was {4-Spades} as Nelson shouted, "Yes!" Antonius picked up a flush draw and had outs for a boat. The river was {2-Diamonds} and Nelson scooped a monster pot worth over 270K. Antonius slipped to under 200K.
