Patrik Antonius hasn’t won a bracelet at the WSOP yet (as of this writing he’s still in the hunt at the Main Event). However, the fantastic Finn has been tearing up the high stakes tables online all summer long. He also found time to get in some golf and challenge online players to take him on. Remember what he said in his blog back in early June:

"I have not played Heads Up No Limit on Full Tilt for a long time and have hardly any experience playing it compared to these guys, yet, they refuse to play me and are dodging me in all games.

Durrr, OMGClayAiken, trex313, Urindanger, I am looking for action and I want a chance to play against the best. I will play any of you in any game on Full Tilt, I will be waiting, hopefully you’re up for the challenge."

Well, Jay “pr1nnyraid” Rosenkrantz, who won the biggest pot in the history of online poker (for a total of $585k) a few weeks back, took Patrik up on the offer. In the wee hours of Friday, July 4, 2008, Rosenkrantz and Antonius battled at the NLHE RailHeaven table in the $500/$1000 limit.

Here’s how things went down:
