Patrik Antonius Eliminated in 8th Place (AUD$130,000)
Hand #26: Patrik Antonius limped in, Randy Dorfman limped in and David Gorr limped in before action folded to Chris Moorman in the big blind. He checked.
The flop came down and Moorman checked. Antonius bet 125,000. Dorfman folded and Gorr raised to 500,000. Moorman shrugged and folded before action fell back on Antonius. "I guess it's time to go all in," he said and moved all in. Gorr called.
Antonius:
Gorr:
Gorr had out-flopped him and Antonius needed help on the turn or river to stay alive. The turn brought the and the river the to keep Gorr's two pair as the best hand. Antonius was eliminated as the first player from the final table and walked away with AUD$130,000 in prize money, but surely not the result he was hoping for.
After the hand, the remaining players began some discussion about the hand. Dorfman mentioned that if he had raised after Antonius limped, him and Antonius most likely would have gotten the money in preflop and he would've busted Antonius anyway as he held and the ace hit on the turn. In that scenario, Gorr said he wouldn't have even played his hand. Gorr also mentioned that he wouldn't have played if Antonius had raised instead of limping in.
