Patrik Antonius raised before the flop, and we're guessing it was 40,000, though we didn't actually see the amount. In any event, both Max Silver and Shawn Buchanan called from their respective blinds, and they went three ways to the

. Antonius only had 640,000 chips left in his stack, and he bet 425,000 of them to put Buchanan to the decision for almost half his own stack.
