Patrik Antonius(credit: Full Tilt Poker)
If you’ve been an avid reader of Tourneyblog, you know that if we (the females anyway) have a chance to mention Patrik Antonius, we will take it. Any opportunity to post an image of the Finnish Adonis and we will gladly pounce on it. (Sorry Maya!)
Patrik is one of the best and most prolific high stakes players. This summer, while in Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker, he could be caught in between tournaments with a laptop in hand playing a few hands online at Full Tilt Poker. Some might call that addiction. We call it dedication. Antonius loves the game.
A former model and tennis player, the hunky Scandinavian enjoys hanging out at the $500/$1,000 NLHE RailHeaven Table. It’s his online home. Unfortunately, RailHeaven’s been a bit hellish for Antonius as of late – perhaps due to the devilish Halloween season. Antonius has lost more money than he’s gained as this pot from late last week will show.
But one thing’s for certain…come rain or sleet or snow, Antonius will be back again at the high stakes tables and soon. That is just one of the reasons we love him so:
