High stakes Finnish players Patrik Antonius and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies were involved in a lengthy two-table match of $300/$600 Pot-Limit Omaha. They played on table Merry Christmas and with a $100 ante on table Bracken. In six hours of action on the ante-less game, Sahamies raked in $180K in winnings. But in the ante game, despite some interruption from other players, Antonius managed to rack up over $210K in one-on-one action against Sahamies. After a total of 1,153 heads-up hands, despite actually losing seven of the nine largest pots, Antonius had edged Sahamies with a $30K+ overall win.
