The month of October was a devastating month for Full Tilt Poker pro Patrik Antonius, so bad the idea of maybe quitting poker and playing tennis full time probably passed through his mind once or twice. After sending over unbelievable amounts of money to the likes of fellow Full Tilt Poker pros Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey and fellow “RailHeaven” regular Tom “Durrrr” Dwan, Patrik finally turned his game around. It is now November and a new month, a new start and a new attitude. Patrik was out for blood.
Patrik started the month off by going back to the table he was having such problems at in October and that table was “GusHeaven” or for people that do not know its a $500/$1000 NL Hold em’ table. He started out slow by stealing and winning pots here and there. Then all of a sudden Patrik turned on the jets and started taking bigger pots away from Durrrr, LarsLuzak and Gus Hansen. It was then time for the big one of the night. Patrik ended up going heads up with Lady Marmelade. Here is how the hand went down.
Seat 1 lady marmelade ($104,978)
