WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)

Hand #71 - Patrik Antonius has the button in seat 2, he raises to $300,000, and Liu calls from the big blind. The flop comes Ac-7c-6h, and both players check. The turn card is the 3c (putting three clubs on the board), Liu bets $300,000, and Antonius calls. The river card is the 9d, Liu checks, Antonius bets $1,000,000, and Liu thinks for about two minutes before calling. Antonius shows 4-2 (the nut low) , and Liu shows A-J (pair of aces) to win.

The nut low - priceless. Maybe Antonius got confused for a sec. and thought this was triple draw.

And so much for Liu folding everything but the nuts.

This was a resteal. He probably had a read that Antonius didn't have a strong hand. If Antonius folds, he picks up a 400K pot and maybe K3o won't be in too bad shape if heis called.

Notice Antonius made a small raise to 2.5xBB. The Unabomber undoubtably interpreted that as a weak attempt to steal the blinds.

Hand #88 - Rehne Pedersen has the button in seat 3, Antonius raises to $600,000, and Brunson calls from the big blind. The flop comes 8c-4s-2c, Brunson moves all in for $1,775,000, and Antonius immediately calls with pocket nines (9c-9s). Brunson shows 10h-8s (pocket eights), and he needs to catch an eight or a ten to stay alive.

The turn card is the 10c, and Brunson makes two pair! The crowd cheers louder than they have all night -- they're rooting for Doyle after all! Now Antonius needs to catch a nine or a club to bust Brunson. The river card is the 4h, and Doyle Brunson doubles up to about $5 million to take the chip lead.

This always seems to happen. 2 or 3 exciting players make the final table in a WPT event alongside 3 or 4 no-names, and the exciting players get knocked out early. I was hoping that Laak, Brunson, and Dicken would go at it, but NOOOOO. Once again, the cool players are out, with Brunson being the only one left I care about.

10h-8s (pocket eights) lol
