Antonius Mucks Against Relentless Pressure
The under-the-gun player opened for 2,200 and found two callers in the hi-jack and Patrik Antonius from the cutoff.
The flop came 
and both players checked to Antonius, who fired 5,200. The early-position player folded, but the hi-jack called.
The 
fell on the turn and the hi-jack led out for 16,200 after some deliberation. An emotionless Antonius glanced over at his opponent's stack and, after about two minutes of thinking, made the call.
The 
completed the board and Antonius' opponent sat still for over a minute before firing a 36,200 bet into the middle. Antonius re-peeked at his cards and thought for a while, but eventually slid his cards into the middle, conceding the pot.
Antonius is still sitting pretty with 205,000 in spite of the large blow to his stack.
