Patrik Antonius tops $7 million on the year

Patrik Antonius, the seven million dollar man.

By Sean Lind

Patrik Antonius' online profits reached $7 million on the year after making $322k on Full Tilt's 7-Game tables last night.

But perhaps even more impressive than hitting the $7 million mark is the fact that it took him 148,020 hands to do it.

This year only two players in the high-stakes world have logged more hands: Tom Dwan with 195,407 and Gus Hansen with 225,980.

Somewhat surprisingly, out of the three players, Antonius is the only one to have results in the black.

Hansen added the last 1,000 of his hands last night on the 7-Game tables, losing $81k in the effort.

Dwan, who has just come off a $1 million loss, spent his night playing on PokerStars under the handle Hold_emNL.

Over the span of his session he played four different games: $100/$200 Pot-Limit Omaha (-$10k), $200/$400 PLO (-$7k), $200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em ($11k) and $1,000/$2,000 Fixed-Limit Hold'em ($36k).

At the end of the night Dwan left with a $28k profit.

Also playing at PokerStars' high-stakes tables was WSOP Main Event winner Peter Eastgate, who played a 12-hour session yesterday and ground out a healthy $77k profit.

Below you can see some of the hands played on PokerStars, or head to MarketPulse to see how the rest of the biggest pots of the night played out.
