High Stakes 2009: Dominated by Patrik Antonius
Without doubt, the Scandinavian poker players had marked the parts of High Stakes during the year 2009. In the top of the table, we find the Finnish poker player Patrik Antonius with his exorbitant online profits. Last year, he has collected more than 9 millions dollars on Internet where he played 3,127 sessions and 185,440 hands. Even if he lost 937,000 dollars face to his adversary Tom Dwan during the Durrr Challenge, Patrik Antonius has an incredible constancy and regularity worthy of a Swiss clock throughout the year 2009, year that he started at top speed. Only the half of the year spent, Patrik Antonius was already the big winner on online parts High Stakes.
He had forgotten quickly his loss face to Durrr, and it was another Scandinavian player who knew his expenses. It is the mysterious poker player Isildur1 from who the Finn had relieved 1.35 million dollars after battles of anthology. In second position, we find the “Tiger Wood of poker” Phil Ivey who won 6.35 million dollars of profits online, followed by Brian Hastings. The trio of head knew to benefit from the entry in the game of Isildur1 on tables of poker online to increase their bankroll. Even if Patrik is one of the best players of the current circuit, he has neither received a WSOP bracelet, nor title of the WPT. With these profits, his disinterest for live poker tournaments is perhaps justified.
