Patrik Antonius(credit: World Poker Tour)
Antonius, a regular at the Bellagio ‘big game’, has challenged none other than Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson to a heads-up match. The handsome Antonius, who used to be a model, even went so far as to say that Doyle could ‘pick the game’ and he’d play him for ‘any amount of money.’
Apparently, Doyle likes those odds. He’s planning on asking Antonius when he sees him later this month if the Finn was ‘serious’ about the offer and said, “I really like Patrik and I think he is a great player, but he cast the gauntlet and I'm prepared to do battle. So, I accept his challenge.”
