Patrik Antonius up $332,000 in only 600 Hands

Patrik Antonius loving life.

Sure, poker is a game of variance, but winning over $332,000 in just 600 hands counts as an amazing session for anyone. And that’s what Patrik Antonius did earlier this week, in an epic online poker session.

Antonius has proven to be one of the best high-stakes players in the game, and consistently comes out ahead no matter who the opposition. Well, except maybe when he’s playing Tom Dwan. In his short but sweet session on Wednesday, he took down Ilari Sahamies and Phil Galfond and a few others, for a third of a million dollars.

Sahamies continued his non-Antonius-esque run, dropping $149,400 to Antonius on the night, as the two played Cap Pot Limit Omaha and 7-Game. Galfond didn’t fare much better, donating  $197,563 to Patrik’s retirement fund.

Though he didn’t tangle with Antonius, Gus Hansen found other ways to get into trouble. He continued his epically bad 2010, with a $266,243 loss on the evening. His running total for the year is $1.1 million in the hole. And his 2009 wasn’t so great either.
