The recent Poker Hall of Fame inductee now has over $29 million in live cashes
Patrik Antonius has achieved a major career highlight, winning the $200,000 Invitational at the Triton Poker Series in Monte Carlo. The Finnish poker pro walked away with $5.13 million, marking the largest single cash prize in his poker career, which now totals over $29 million in live tournament earnings. This victory comes on the heels of Antonius’ recent induction into the Poker Hall of Fame, adding an exclamation point to his already impressive career.
The Triton Invitational is unique, drawing a mix of professional and recreational players. Each amateur participant selects a professional player as their partner, with both groups competing separately until Day 2 of the event.
Antonius faced off against Estonian player Vladimir Korzinin in the heads-up round. Although Korzinin is relatively new to high-stakes poker, having only recorded his first cash last month at the European Poker Tour (EPT) Cyprus, he secured $3.47 million for his runner-up finish. This one result was enough to make Korzinin Estonia’s all-time money leader in live poker earnings.
Following his win, Antonius expressed his admiration for the Triton Poker Series, calling it the “best poker experience” for players. He highlighted Triton’s attention to detail and the positive atmosphere it fosters among participants, qualities that have made the series popular among both seasoned pros and enthusiastic amateurs.
Meanwhile, in other Triton Monte Carlo events, the $125,000 Main Event has drawn notable names, including Jonathan Jaffe, Bryn Kenney, Punnat Punsri, and Jesse Lonis, who have all advanced to the final table. The Monte Carlo series has proven once again to be a hotspot for elite competition, thrilling moments, and career-defining wins.
