There’s a saying that goes “every dog has his day”. Well, we have to change that to ‘every fish has his day.’ Patatino is known in high stakes circles as something of a fish. Never was this player expected to make online history in such a positive way. Well, guess what patatino has surprised the naysayers – and silenced the critics, perhaps by taking down the biggest online poker ever.
Earlier this week, patatino won nearly $610,000 in a NLHE hand over at Full Tilt Poker. Also in the hand was trex313, who you may (or may not) remember as being eliminated from the Full Tilt Poker $25,000 PLO Heads-Up World Championship last weekend in the quarterfinals.
