Caught in the Middle

The first level of Day 2 hasn't gone so well for Patrik Antonius. On a flop of {7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}, Daniel Reisman and Santeri Valikoski checked, and Antonius bet 3,000. Reisman called, then Valikoski raised to 9,500. Antonius called, and Reisman got out of the way.

The turn was the {Q-Clubs}. Valikoski put his last 2,350 in, and Antonius called.

Valikoski had {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for top pair and the nut flush draw. Antonius had {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a lower pair and a gutshot. The river was the {K-Diamonds}, and Valikoski took the pot.

Antonius has slipped to 12,000.
