Born in Helsinki, Finland, on December 13, , Patrik Antonius had his career goals set on a path quite different to that of a professional poker player.

However, the events that transpired in his life led him to the green felt where he was able to find a degree of success very few of his peers can boast.

Patrik, who had a great natural talent for sports, set off to become a professional tennis player during his teen years. Things were going well for the young Fin for a while, but when he was 15 a serious back injury crushed his dreams.

Despite his willingness and ability, he had to come to terms with the fact that he would never become a tennis pro. Full of competitive spirit but with little to do, Antonius had to find another venue where he could show his talents.

I also want to thank all the nice railbirds who say hi to me when I am playing online, I wish I had enough time to write back to everyone, but I always appreciate the kind words.

On a final note, the Wimbledon Champion Mila Antonius has taken her first few steps, and has started walking all on her own.

It was a very exciting time for Maya and I, and its hard to believe how fast she is growing. Good luck at the tables -Patrik-. We agreed to cancel our big tennis match on Monday, and instead, play this poker match tonight.

Brandon is a very good no limit player and it should be a great match. I am happy that I have been playing some No Limit lately against some very good players on Full Tilt, so my game is sharp.

We will be playing on Full Tilt naturally and the official start time is pm Las Vegas time. I will write about the match tomorrow, wish me luck!!

I made it through day one for the second straight year which is good. It was a long day and everything was going great until the last hand of the night.

I was close to the chiplead most of the day and was getting ready to bag my chips up and go home, but the last hand got me good. I had J6 on a J J 5 flop and got it all in on the flop, my opponent was leading with AJ and had me drawing dead on the turn when an Ace fell.

It was the last hand of the night and instead of going home with around , I am going to start day 2 with 64, Maya played Day 1a and she has around 70k in chips.

We will both be playing tomorrow in Day 2a and hopefully we both survive to day 3. I have taken a few days off tennis because I hurt my neck last week.

It was so bad that I could only chip and putt at the golf course. Yesterday I finally could start hitting some woods and long irons and played some golf with Jani and Nick.

Jani has hired a new caddie James, and unfortunately for us, he is helping Jani so much. Most people would call it a day after spending an afternoon golfing at TPC, well Jani and I needed a little more excitement.

Jani and I had a small bet on the fight and I had Griffin and he pulled off the upset. It was getting late, but whats a day without some poker.

I kept playing in the poker game, but was really watching the tennis. It turned out to be one of the greatest matches in Wimbledon history and was a pleasure to watch two of the greatest players battling to the end.

I decided my day was complete and time to go home. I had booked a nice win and was halfway home when my phone rang. Piilotetut luokat: Kotoistettuja päivämääriä sisältävät artikkelit Elävät henkilöt Seulonnan keskeiset artikkelit.
