Patrik Antonius might just need to turn to his fiance Maya Geller (being reported as Maya Geller-Antonius) for some poker lessons after this WSOP. The soon-to-be-wed couple are both still alive in the main event, but it is Maya that has a significantly larger stack. Maya curently has 135,200 chips, while Patrik is in the lower percentage of the field with just 29,500.
Maya has been playing really well and has eliminated several players while also making some incredible laydowns. Here is a video of the couple recording a VLOG for Patrik by RawVegas.TV:

One thing that he says that makes a lot of sense is that when those players make the final table they are really in the zone and playing the best poker of their life. By throwing a huge amount of time in between the game, they lose this “zone” and it suddenly becomes a completely different game. Anyway, here is the video of Mikey:

The movie looks pretty cool and features some big name players like Doyle Brunson, Antonio Esfandiari along with many other big name pros. It stars Werner Herzog, Richard Kind, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta and Ray Romano. Who knows, this may just be the best poker movie ever…. only time will tell.
