Patrik Antonious is one of the biggest
up-and-coming names in the
poker world. Patrick
was born in Finland in 1980 and grew
up 50 minutes outside of
Helsinki in a town called Vantaa. At the age of
12, Patrik began playing
poker with friends from his
town. When Patrick
turned 18, he played in his
first casino tournament.
The game was No Limit Texas
Holdem, with a 25$ buy-in.
Patrik turned his $25 buy-in
into $260. This really
motivated him to play more
poker even though he was an
aspiring tennis player at
this point of his life.
After sparking his interest,
Antonius started playing a
lot more poker.
In 2005, Patrik's career as
a poker player began to take
shape as he placed second in
the Bellagio 5-Star Poker
Classic. Since this
time, Patrick has won

In total, Patrick Antonius
has won over 2 million
