Patrik Antonius Eliminated in 23rd Place (€57,600)

Patrik Antonius raised to 24,000 from middle position and received a call from Markkos Ladev in the small blind. The pair saw a flop of 3♥9♦J♣, which they both checked.

The turn then fell the A♦ and Antonius now bet 25,000 after another check from Ladev. Ladev made the call and the 7♦ river was dealt.

Ladev checked for the third time and after a while Antonius decided to put his roughly 100,000 remaining chips at stake. He put them all in the middle and instantly got called by Ladev.

Antonius sighed, stood up and showed A♣10♣ for top pair. He felt it was no good and was correct, as his opponent had slowplayed his pocket aces and was sitting on top set with A♠A♥ in his hand.

The Finnish poker legend took his leave and was the first to make the payjump to €57,600.
