Tom "durrrr" Dwan opened the action for 32,000 preflop and Patrik Antonius defended from the big blind. The Finn checked the flop and Dwan continued for 43,000. Antonius thought for a bit before announcing that he was all in, and Dwan sort of shrugged before calling off for around 200,000.

The meaningless was run out on the river for good measure, and then Dwan took his leave from the 2014 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge in 12th place.
