Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Martin Zamani raised to 200,000 under the gun and Ronald Keijzer called in the small blind. The A♥7♠8♦ flop was then checked by Keijzer.

Zamani inquired about Keijzer's remaining stack before betting the pot of 520,000. Keijzer shoved all in for about 800,000 and Zamani snap-called.

Ronald Keijzer: A♠10♠10♣9♣ All in
Martin Zamani: A♣J♠J♣5♥

Zamani's ace-jack was ahead, and the 3♦K♠ runout bricked out to eliminate Keijzer in tenth.

Martin Zamani: Q♦8♠5♦3♥

The board ran out J♠10♥ and the full house was good for Engel to double at the expense of Zamani.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Christopher Roth raised to 130,000 on his button and Hokyiu Lee defended his big blind.

Lee check-called Roth's bet of 175,000 chips on the 3♦6♥7♦ flop before he checked again on the 3♥ turn.

After Roth had bet 400,000, Lee raised to 1,100,000. Roth then three-bet to 2,350,000, his entire stack. Lee asked for a count and mulled it over for a while.

"I have to think whether I'm drawing dead or not," he stated. Shortly after, he made the fold and forfeited the pot to Roth.

Welcome to the Poker Hall of Fame: Patrik Antonius.

"In the modern era of poker, few have been as bold and fearless as Patrik Antonius," said Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the World Series of Poker. "A force both online and live, we’re thrilled to see Patrik’s high-stakes career acknowledged by legends who have added the first international player to the Poker Hall of Fame in a number of years."

Antonius is the first European player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame since the late David "Devilfish" Ulliott in 2017. He's also the first living European to be inducted since 2008 when holecard camera inventor Henry Orenstein was inducted.

Tolga Demirel raised to 150,000 on the button and Martin Zamani called in the big blind. The A♣Q♠3♣ flop saw Zamani check-call a bet of 280,000 before Demirel sized down to 175,000 on the A♥ turn.
