The Poker Hall of Fame announced their latest inductee recently at the $1,976 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold’em event at the wsop on Sunday. Congratulations go to Patrik Antonius as the 63rd member of the Poker Hall of Fame!
Patrik is 43 years old, grew up in finland and was considered a talented tennis player. He began playing poker as a teen with friends and won the first tournament he entered back in 2003 which led him to enter more tournaments. He was doing well but began taking his new passion and working more online to build his bankroll so he might play bigger buy-in events. In 2005, he became the EPT Baden champ for $343,365. According to the Hendon Mob, Patrik has almost $23 Million in total live earnings.
“In the modern era of poker, few have been as bold and fearless as Patrik Antonius,” Executive Director of the WSOP Ty Stewart said during the announcement. “A force both online and live, we’re thrilled to see Patrik’s high-stakes career acknowledged by legends who have added the first international player to the Poker Hall of Fame in years.”
