Team Full Tilt Poker Signs Up Patrik Antonius

Now this is what I call a sweet marketing strategy. Just as Patrik Antonius is set to sit down at the 2008 World Series of Poker final table, Full Tilt Poker snaps him up. Even sweeter, Andy Bloch, another member of Team Full Tilt, will also be in the WSOP final table with the chip lead. So there will be two finalists wearing gear emblazoned with the Full Tilt Logo.

World Series of Poker Schedule

Who is Patrik Antonius? Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should be aware that he is considered one of the most solid young poker players in the world. He has earned nearly $1.7 million in live poker tournament earnings and has had six top 15 finishes in major poker tournaments upon entering the international poker scene in 2005.

Patrik was crowned Rookie of the Year at the European Poker Awards back in 2005. Patrick finished deep twice in the World Poker Tour in 2004 and cashed in three events at the 2005 World Series of Poker. He also finished third at the European Poker Tour in Barcelona. A month after, he won an EPT event where he took home over 250,000 Euros.
This is Patrik’s third WSOP final table. In 2006, he made it to the final table of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event where he competed against poker legends Doyle Brunson, T.J. Coultier and Team Full Tilt member Phil Ivey. Chip Reese eventually won that tournament.

With Patrik’s inclusion, there are now 14 members of Team Full Tilt. Patrik will join poker luminaries Allen Cunningham, Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erik Seidel, Erick Lindgren, Andy Block, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen and Clonie Gowen.
