We saw it coming, though not that soon, as the ‘apprentice’ might not be ready yet! According to a recent press release, Full Tilt Poker's Team Full Tilt has announced a rare addition to its global network, welcoming an international poker pro and online giant, namely the sexy skillful player Patrik Antonius.
Since, from now on, he will be representing Full Tilt Poker, which is the second largest online poker site in the world, Mr. Patrik Antonius will now join the professional club of Team Full Tilt which includes fellow poker stars such as: Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon, John Juanda, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, and Allen Cunningham who have collectively won 32 WSOP bracelets. As you can see this gang is perhaps the best around.
It’s really cool that, at 27 years old, Antonius is the youngest poker pro to be invited to join the Team Full Tilt. However, the EPT winner and poker icon already boasts career tournament earnings of nearly $2.7 million and is widely considered to be one of the best all-around players, whether it be large tournaments, live cash games, or online. Besides that, he also worked as a model in Finland, so it embodies both beauty and brains.
When being asked about the accomplishment, Patrik Antonius responded: "As everyone knows, Team Full Tilt has all the top pros in the world and I'm honored to now be a member of such a legendary team.”
A Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer added: "Patrik Antonius is a young rising star in the poker world that has shown he will be a force for decades to come. We are thrilled he has joined the team."
As for the Team Full Tilt, the team has been pretty much unstoppable on the tournament circuit this year and the addition of Brad Pitt look-a-like will only add to this threat.
Nevertheless, the Team's 2008 best times began in January with Howard Lederer winning the $100K No-Limit Hold ‘em event at the Aussie Millions for a first place prize of AU$ 1.25 million, followed by Erik Seidel's second place finish at the main event where in took home AU$ 1 million.
Afterwards, in February, Phil Ivey added a World Poker Tour title to his already impressive resume by winning the $10,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship Event at the Los Angeles Poker Classic, taking home $1.59 million. In March, fellow Team Full Tilt member Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, the man who- “can cut a carrot in half with a playing card from 10 feet away” established himself as the world's premier heads-up poker player by winning the $20,000 buy-in National Heads Up Poker Championship at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, claiming the title and $500,000 in prize money.
Beware fellas, the gang is complete!
