Patrik Antonious Wins $913K on Full Tilt
Posted by Curtom | September 15, 2008 | Posted in: Articles, News | Comments (2)Patrik Antonious took down a whopping $913K+ yesterday over a thirty-five hour session onFull Tilt poker. Patrik was playing Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, and No Limit Holdem.
Somtimes I wonder just how deep these players are online. I know for a fact that Patrik is doing exceptionally well online as well as in cash games. There are a number of unknown online players that do quite well in the high stakes cash tournaments but have not done so well in live tournaments. I imagine that won’t change. Sometimes being a very good online player just does not translate as there are many other factors to consider when playing live.
Not the least of them being nerves. Not having someone staring at your every move while sitting behind a computer is a considerable advantage to someone that gets jumpy or nervous. There is definitely money to be made in these high stakes matches and we are seeing more and more online millionaires being made every day. A lot of them are starting out playing the single table Sit-N-Go and continually building their bankrolls from there. That’s the smart way to go and keeps your bankroll from getting hit too hard.

As much as I hate to admit it, I find myself railing the big name pros when they’re on Full Tilt. It just amazes me that these guys can go on the runs that they go on. I watched David Benyamine rake like 200k a day for 2 straight weeks for awhile. I watched John D’Agostino kill it for nearly a month a couple of years ago. Mostly, I’m jealous, but it keeps me working on my game because I want to get there. Hopefully I will.
Thanks for commenting Disco. I enjoy watching the high stakes games quite a bit. There is definitely a level of excitement that is unmatched in the lower stakes especially for some of the professionals that are not that liquid and need every dime of their bankroll.
