Before becoming one of the world’s most skilled high stakes cash game players, Patrick Antonious lived in Helsinki, Finland and has had jobs both as a tennis player and male model.
Today though, Patrick Antonious owns a house in Las Vegas but calls his house in Monte Carlo home. Weather Patrick is in Vegas or Monte Carlo, there is one thing you can be certain he is doing, it’s that he’s most likely relieving rich men of women of their hard earned cash at some high stakes game that you and I will never be invited to. Mr. Antonious is an absolutely fearless poker player when it comes to throwing six figure sums around. Recently Patrick was seen on Full Tilt Poker setting the record for the largest online pot in history. It was PLO (Pot Limit Omaha) with the much talked about Isildur1 from Sweden that paved way for the massive seven figure hand. How big was the pot? Over 1.3 million! As in 1.3 million for ONE hand! But oh no folks, he doesn’t just rake in the doe playing cash games either; he also has earned himself 2.84 million in live tournament poker as well. Easy pat, save some money for the rest of us!
Not only does Patrick Antonious bring bundles of cash and skill to the games he plays, but he also brings the ability to avoid tilting, remain calm, and say very little. This combination of skill set and composure has created a poker player capable of beating several types of poker at the highest levels. Like Phil Ivey, Patrick is a young man with an impressive past and the talent to become a legend in the poker community.
