Antonius Enters, Doubles
Monaco resident Patrik Antonius may not have been active much at the poker tables in recent times, it doesn't mean the Finnish superstar rode off into the sunset to leave it all behind. PokerNews interviewed Antonius earlier this week to catch up with the Fin and talk about his plans to bring poker to Monaco.
Not long after Antonius sat down, he was put to the test by Viliyan Petleshkov. The Bulgarian had opened from the button and Antonius had defended his big blind. On a 
flop, Antonius checked, Petleshkov bet 1,200, Antonius check-raised to 5,200 and Petleshkov called.
The turn brought the 
and Antonius bet 7,200, which Petleshkov smooth-called in position. On the 
river, Antonius checked and Petleshkov went all in. It was effectively 12,000 to call for Antonius, who slid his stack in after a minute of thought.
Petleshkov tabled 
for a busted flush draw and Antonius showed 
for a busted flush draw as well, accompanied by a pair of fives. Sharp call by the Fin, who netted a quick double-up.
