€125 8-Game
Level 10: 1,000/2,000 (2,000)
Entries: 45/93
The 8-Game proved to be popular with 93 entries generating a €9,820 prize pool. One player that won't be making the money for at least the €300 min-cash on tap for the top nine players is our friend from Lithuania Danius Antanaitis who just went out in no-limit hold'em.
Antanaitis three-bet jammed for about 45,000 and was snap-called by Scott "Pokerbrahs" Kenyon.
Dainius Antanaitis: A K
Pokerbrahs: Q Q
Pokerbrahs and Antanaitis have been playing together all day and became friendly during that time. This is exactly what we like to see at The Festival Series.
"Once I learned your screenname, I gained even more respect for you," Pokerbrahs said to Antanaitis who was also grinding an online satellite to a big online event.
Antanaitis was unable to win the flip after the 9 4 7 3 4 runout.
Both players wished each other the best before Kenyon shared that this was the second time he busted Antanaitis who lost a bullet during the late registration period.
Just before that, Allan Arjut at another table had a suggestion.
"Instead of no-limit hold'em, we should play Sviten Special instead," Arjut said.
This author loves this idea and it would have saved Antanaitis as well.
Antanaitis will take a break at least for now. In the meantime, we wish Pokerbrahs the best of luck in winning the €3,350 top prize on tap for today's winner. He is well on his way with 140,000 in chips for nearly triple the average.
