Patrik Antonius blows $75k on a stone-cold bluff

Patrik Antonius made a costly mistake at Full Tilt Poker.

Patrik Antonius is one of the regulars at the high-stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker. Sunday night, the Finnish star bluffed away $75k in an Omaha hand against David Benyamine.

The two high rollers were seated at a $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha table at Full Tilt Poker along with four other players, including Gus Hansen and Dustin Dirksen.

Antonius, playing under the alias "FinddaGrind," started the action from the cut-off by raising to $1,400. Benyamine re-raised to $4,800 from the button, and only Antonius called.

The flop came 2d-5s-Qs and both players checked.

The 5d hit on the turn, and now Antonius made his move. He checked, only to raise to $28,400 when Benyamine bet $10,200. The Frenchman called.

Antonius fired again, $42,400, when the Jc fell on the river, and once again Benyamine called.

FinddaGrind's cards were turned over first: 4d-4h-Kh-9d. Benyamine showed 8c-5c-Ad-6d, and took the $151,797 pot with three-of-a-kind fives.

In total, Antonius wasted $75,600 on his bold bluff. Or did he think that his pair of fours would stand?
