Patrik Antonius Bio - The Finnish Poker Legend
|
April 12 - The newest regular at the Big Game and the man who plays online poker for millions of dollars (and is said to be a huge winner) is Patrik Antonius known as the Flying Finn, Adonis, and The Terminator. Need we say more?
Antonius is in the process of leading the kind of life that Hollywood could never film because it would seem too implausible. This is a guy who couldn't decide whether to become a supermodel or a professional tennis player. Instead he chose a third path, winning millions of dollars as professional poker player.
Antonius is still only 26 years old but he has already moved to Vegas and taken up residence at the Big Game next to Greenstein, Reese, Ivey, et al. He was apparently up $2 million early on and it would seem that he is a winner even at this highest and most competitive level of poker. Remember that this is a level where you will never find top players like Phil Hellmuth, Howard Lederer, or even Chris Ferguson because the swings are too great. But Antonius is there.
Patrik is an EPT winner, has eight cashes at the World Series Of Poker, and has also made a final table at the WPT when he finished second at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic and earned over $1 million in the process.
He is a dangerous tournament player often found at the head of the pack or nowhere at all. But his habitat of choice is cash games, preferably heads up, but adept at the full table mixed games.
Don't hate on Patrik Antonius because he is the Brad Pitt of poker with an ice-cool attitude and a bankroll of millions added for good measure. But no one will hold it against you if you are a little envious.
