Patrik Antonius Turns It Around

After two weeks of bad cards, Finnish high stakes expert makes a big hit

Followers of the high risk, big win online poker pros who frequent Full Tilt Poker's nosebleed tables are commenting this week on a change for the better in Patrik Antonius's fortunes.

The Finnish online and live tournament poker star has had a bad run at the tables recently, emerging as one of this year's major losers so far, but on Super Bowl Sunday he spent his time at the high stakes virtual tables and it paid off....to the tune of a profit of $577 000.

Starting out on his own $500/$1 000 Pot-Limit Omaha table he scored repeatedly, notably against player "World1969" who retired down over $190 000 after only sixteen hands against the master.

Antonius made up the rest of his satisfying session's profit against other top players, although the pots did not get anywhere near the record $1 356 946 world record pot Antonius won playing against Isildur1 late last year
