: 400/800, 100 ante
Barny Boatman opened his button to 2,100, and Patrik Antonius called out of the small blind. The flop came out 
, and Antonius checked. Boatman bet 2,600, and Antonius made it 8,500 total. Boatman sank into thought, and thought, and thought. Finally he three-bet to 18,500. It took Antonius only a minute to decide on a four-bet shove, enough to put Boatman all in four times over. Boatman folded, dropping down to 31,000. And alert the press: Antonius is up to a field-leading 175,000.
