Patrik Antonius 'is the world's biggest online winner'

2009-11-17 07:44:59

Finnish poker star Patrik Antonius was recently identified as the biggest winner in the online poker world.

According to a thread on the Two Plus Two forums, the gamer has been established as the biggest-ever online winner, with conservative estimates on the thread suggesting that his winnings total $14 million.

Bluff magazine noted that Tom Dwan was a notable absentee from the top ten earners on the list.

The gamer is widely regarded as one of the most formidable internet gamers, but he recently suffered a huge hit, losing $3 million to mystery Swedish player Isildur1 last week.

Guy Laliberte, who is best known as the chief executive officer of Cirque de Soleil and for his recent trip into space, was the greatest loser, having blown more than $23 million during his online career.

Antonius is also a strong live player, having picked up a European Poker Tour title and cashed 12 times at the World Series of Poker.
