$ 1 million Challenge: Antonius wins the 2 to 7 Triple Draw
After a bad start last week, the $ 1 million challenge between Rui Cao and Patrick Antonius finally began last Saturday with a 2 to 7 Triple Draw of $ 1500 / $ 3000. The two online poker players started with a No Limit Holdem before the Finns suggests to the French to continue the session in 2 to 7. Rui Cao accepted the proposal of his opponent, but after 45 minutes, Antonius had already won $ 150,000. Cao was back into the game and earned $ 37,500 from his opponent before the break. After three hours of pause, the two players took back the part with a slight advantage for Rui Cao who totaled $ 100,000 gain but Antonius came back into the race to finish the first round with $ 300,000 or the amount that the two players set to win in the 2 to 7 of $ 1,500 / $ 3,000.
Saturday's session was beneficial for Patrick Antonius who won $ 319,500. The Finn won $ 19,500 in NLHE $ 200 / $ 400 before winning the first round, the 2 to 7 Triple Draw $ 1500 / $ 3000. Thus, they still have two games to play including the NLHE $ 200 / $ 400, which began with a slight advantage of Patrick Antonius. The winner of this second round will be the one who win $ 350,000. The third round with always $ 350,000 to play is a PLO $ 200 / $ 400. The French could get in trouble during these last two rounds because he lost the variant in which he excelled. The latest was this foretaste on February 6 that cost $ 400,000 to Antonius.
