Main Event Marches On

Posted By : CarbonPoker January 22nd, 2009

The action at the Main Event has been heating up as we got to the money yesterday a few sessions before dinner break. A period of extremely tight play ensued as players tried to make the bubble. However once it burst a flurry of all ins in quick succession happened as players with short stacks made their moves now that they were guaranteed at least $40,000 in chump change.

A few big moves by some big names fare poorly as crowd favorite Patrick Antonius fell to a 3 way all in on a board of JJ8-3-5. Some big bets forced one chaser off but not the other as he moved in for 400k. A long time deliberating, Antonius eventually and honorably called time on himself and as the pit boss counted down the final moments he made the call and tabled KJ for trip Jacks. His opponent turned J5 for one better with a full house.
