Patrik Antonius - Poker Superstar

 

Patrik Antonius is one of the most widely recognized players in poker today, and with a record like his, its no wonder. Since taking up poker as a profession in 2002, he's amassed almost $3 million as a result of his skill and aggressive style. While Patrik is clearly a world-class professional, there's more to life for him than just poker. His competitive streak extends well beyond the game - he's still a top-notch tennis player and an avid golfer. Patrick has been living in Las Vegas since January of 2006 with his beautiful fiancee Maya and our new baby girl, Mila. Patrick has now signed with Full Tilt Poker. When he's not dominating the court, the course, or the felt, Patrik spends his personal time with his fiancee Maya and daughter Mila.

All about Poker Pro Patrik Antonius 

Pro Poker Superstars

Patrick was born on December 13, 1980 in Helsinki, Finland. When Patrick was 13 he decided he wanted to be a professional tennis player and started to focus only on tennis.

Upon graduating from Helsinki Business College,Patrick served in the Finnish army. Right out of the Army he was ready to start playing professional tennis tournaments. But just before his first professional tournament, he suffered a terrible back injury.

Luckily for him, his passion for poker was almost as strong as tennis, and now that he could not play tennis, he was going to focus on poker.

In the summer of 2005, he got hot on the tournament circuit and went on a run that still puts a smile on my face. In August Patrick won the Ladbrokes Scandinavian Poker Championships, in Stockholm, collecting $66,261.

In September Patrick got 3rd in the EPT Barcelona for $145,000. In October Patrick won the EPT Baden for $343,000. And finally in December Patrick took 2nd in the WPT at the Bellagio for $1,045,000. It was a very exciting time for me and my plan of moving to Las Vegas was in full effect.

While Patrik played poker for years with his friends, it wasn't until he started playing online that he got serious about developing his game. Within just a couple of months, his game improved along with his results. By December 2002, Patrik had amassed $80K and brought his game to the next level.

Shortly after, Patrik moved to the US where he continued to put in hours of play. In addition to building upon a steadily increasing bankroll, he won a satellite entry into a WSOP event before returning home to Finland. He cites both the event and solid advice from seasoned pros as invaluable in his development as a poker player.

In 2005, Patrik lit up the tournament circuit. After cashing in two WPT tournaments, he went deep in three WSOP events, earning a combined total of almost $100K. Not one to let the cards get cold, he followed this up with impressive back-to-back performances on the EPT circuit. He took third in the Main Event in Barcelona for $145K before going on to win the EPT Baden classic for more than $340K. True to form, Patrik finished the year with his biggest cash to date. He took second place in the WPT Five Diamond Classic, earning over $1 million.

Since that time Patrik's steadily built on an already impressive record, continuing to add both WPT and WSOP cash finishes to his list of accomplishments. Most recently, Patrik made the final table at the first event of the 2008 WSOP. He finished in seventh place, earning $124K.
