$352,000 win for Full Tilt Poker Pro Patrick Antonius

When Full Tilt Poker signed Patrick Antonius this year they could not have hoped for a more worthy addition to their Pro Team.

One of the most successful players in cash games, Patrick Antonius has been playing remarkable poker since 2008 on the Full Tilt virtual felts.

In only seven months of play in 2008 Antonius recorded a profit of $1.35 million, and in 2009 his numbers are through the roof with over $5.40 million in profit!

This past weekend he managed to win a little over $100K which is a relatively small amount for his level of play. Antonius logged in some hands yesterday as well, profiting over $350K.

In other Full Tilt news, the FTOPS events are just two weeks away and there will be more than $20 million in guaranteed prizes. Visit Full Tilt Poker for further details.

Another Star studded live poker event in the UK, this time it was the PKR Heads Up Grand Slam creating headlines in the weeks Poker News

A new name emerged from the pack to take down the PKR Headsup Grand Slam. Vladimir Geshkenbein of Russia was one of the lesser known names in this event, but no stranger to high stakes after winning the High Rollers event at the APPT in Macau earlier this year.

Geshkenbein bested a field that included Tony G, the Devilfish, Tom Dwan, Luke Schwartz, Annette Obrestad, Peter Eastgate, JC Tran and Ian Frazer to win the event, beating TV poker veteran Juha Helppi in the final. The aggressive Russian pummelled Helppi into submission in their match to win the $120,000 first prize. He also beat Alex Keating, Brahim Hajji, David Steicke and James Sudworth on his way to the final.

And whilst other Poker Rooms are going through some tough times with negetive press, PKR Poker could not be having a better year.
