Amateur Could not Beat Patrik Antonius in the Heads-up Match
Last month, the famous Finnish High Roller Patrik Antonius signed a sponsorship deal with new online poker site iGame, making him the first former member of Team Full Tilt Poker to join a poker room after Black Friday. As part of his deal, the Fin agreed to face off against one lucky player in a no-limit hold'em heads-up match with as much as €20,000 on the line.

The heads-up bout took place on Tuesday against Rui Faria from Portugal, an amateur poker player who qualified to play Antonius via iGame. Under the rules of the promotion, if Faria won two consecutive matches against Antonius, he'd pocket €20,000. One victory would net him €5,000, and if he lost the first match he'd walk away with a €2,000 VIP Package.
However, the level of those two players was too unequal, as it took Antonius only 81 hands to eliminate Faria. The latter one earned the €2,000 package for his efforts, while Antonius was headed back to his high-stakes cash games in Vienna.
