Antonius Recovering

Down to less than 3,000 chips at one point earlier in the day, female favorite Patrik Antonius is on the up-and-up, having recently increased the size of his stack by about 80%.

Sitting with 3,450 in chips, Antonius led out with a 500 bet on a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts} and was called by an unknown opponent on the button. The {6-Hearts} came on the turn and Patrik fired again, this time tossing 800 worth of chips across the betting line; his opponent made a quick call.

The {8-Spades} completed the board and Patrik stacked his remaining 2,175 worth of chips and slid them across the betting line. His opponent checked and re-checked his hand before eventually tossing it into the muck.

Antonius is currently sitting with just over 6,000 in chips.
