Patrik Antonius Signed to Full Tilt
During yesterday’s first event at the 2008 WSOP, Howard Lederer made a huge announcement for Team Full Tilt Poker. One of the greatest players of this decade would be joining their team: Patrik Antonius.
Antonius was chosen for team full tilt because Howard believes that Patrik isn’t just a great player right now, he will continue to be so for decades. Howard didn’t mind that Patrik had never won a WSOP bracelet, or a WPT Title, more importantly he highlighted that Patrik plays the biggest games, with the best poker players in the world and consistently does well in these games.
It is about time they got around to signing him. After all, Patrik is on all of the high stakes tables every night and has a huge following. I guess he won’t have to worry about all the rake he is generating any more, though this is probably an insignificant amount to him.
Patrik seemed happy to be part of Team Full Tilt and looks forward to getting his own avatar, using his own name, and possibly getting his own table (similar to how Phil Ivey has the Ivey Thunderdome). Good choice FTP!
