Patrik Antonius began making a name for himself in poker in
 2005, when he finished in the money in three WSOP events. 
 Again in 2005 he made the European World Poker Tour final
 table in Barcelona, finishing 3rd place.  The next month he won
 the EPT big even in Baden Bei Wien, a prize worth almost
 300,000 Euros.  In December 2005, just a month later he
 finished second in the WPT Five Diamond Classic to win a prize
 of 1,046,000$.

 In 2006 Antonius placed 9th in the WSOP HORSE event for a
 cash prize of 205,000$.  In 2007 his biggest cash prize was in
 the World Series Omaha PL Event, placing 3rd for 311,000$. 
 At the end of 2008 Antonius' live tournament winnings exceeded
 2.8 million dollars.  He has also won some high profile online
 tournaments such as Full Tilt Poker's heads-up PL Omaha
 Championship, where he took a prize worth 320,000$. 

 Antonius is one the most successful cash players to date,
 having won millions of dollars.  He has also made numerous
 appearances on NBC's Poker After Dark, finishing runner up in
 his first appearance to Jennifer Harman, beating Brad Booth to
 take victory in his second, and again finishing runner up in his
 third appearance, to poker legend Johnny Chan.

 In 2009 Antonius answered Tom Dwan's Million Dollar Heads-Up
 Challenge, which is currently being played out a Full Tilt Poker. 
 It has been a close back and forth match up so far, though
 Antonius is currently ahead by a little more than 150,000$ after
 having played 12,000+ hands out of 50,000.  Please check the
