Patrik Antonius to join PartyPoker Premier League line-up

PartyPoker has announced that Finnish high stakes specialist Patrik Antonius will be joining the line-up at the upcoming Premier League event in April. Antonius will join some of the world's best players in the 16-player event.

The upcoming PartyPoker Premier League event will be joined by Finnish high stakes shark Patrik Antonius, PartyPoker announced on Thursday.

The Premier League event has rapidly grown into one of the most popular televised poker events in the industry, and will now be able to add even more public appeal after the addition of Antonius.

The league is a 16-player event, which features sit & go's in different variations, with the contestants gathering points for their achievements for a running league leader board.

The player with the most points will then be awarded a $100,000 first prize, as well as an entry ticket for the $25,000 WPT World Championship at the Bellagio in May.

So far, PartyPoker has crowned a number of Premier League champions, including fan favorites like David Benyamine, Andy Black, JC Tran, and Juha Helppi.

Its great to know that Antonius will join some of the world's best players in the 16-player event. Should be great poker for everybody to watch, antonius is a sharp player, ive seen him play in high stakes poker and i think full tilt poker million dollar game, he plays his strong hands very well but of course in poker there are no guarantees, ive seen him lose many big pots, one big one was with Phil Ivey when Antonius hit trips but phil ivey had a full house and they both went all in with the inevitable loss to patrick antonius and the win for phil ivey.
