Patrik Antonius in the House and Looking for a Big Game
Finnish poker superstar Patrik Antonius arrived just before the first break. While this was too late for him to late-register the Main Event, he does plan to play the €3,000 NLHE High Roller on Saturday and Sunday.
Antonius is fresh off a huge win in the partypoker MILLIONS Rozvadov €25,500 Super High Roller for €425,000. With the win, he now has $7.3 million in live tournament cashes. This surpasses fellow countryman Juha Helppi, who has $7.1 million in live tournament cashes, for the most career cashes by a Finnish player.
In addition to the big tournament win, Antonius has been busy playing high stakes. When asked what he planned to do later, he shared he was looking to play in a €100/€200 pot-limit Omaha game or something even bigger.
We will look to interview Antonius later in the festival.
