In an exclusive interview with Black Belt Poker, Patrik Antonius reveals his doubts regarding the durrrr Challenge, explaining how he thinks the 50,000 hand target is possibly not quite enough to determine who the best player is. “I thought it would be enough to see who's better,” he claims, “but now I feel the luck can still play a part because it looks like it could go any way. Out of the eight biggest pots, he's won six… playing 200,000 would perhaps be a little bit more accurate.”
As well as the durrrr Challenge, Antonius was questioned on a number of other topics. When the subject of Mark Vos cropped up, Antonius couldn’t withhold his anger, calling the former bracelet winner a “f***ing idiot”. Antonius showcased his dislike for the Australian in a recent interview with a UK magazine, and it appears as though little has changed.
Currently a member of the ever-growing Full Tilt team, the Flying Finn is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, and is often mentioned in the same light as Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey and Chip Reese. Having initially started off as a tennis player, injury forced him out and led him to poker, where he has since become a titan of the game. As well a becoming a formidable force in some of the biggest cash games around – including appearances on the highly acclaimed High Stakes Poker – Antonius also boasts over $2.6 million in tournament winnings, including an EPT Baden title and a second place finish in the 2005 Five Diamond Classic in Vegas for $1,046,470.
