On Friday, February 27, Patrik Antonius will make his long-awaited return to the Hustler Casino Live felt for the show's High Stakes Friday game.
The WePoker Ambassador's two prior appearances on the stream came back in November of 2022. In his debut outing, Antonius booked a $135,400 loss. The following day, he managed to bounce back with a $10,600 win – a slight, mitigating consolation prize for sure, but a win is a win. While he remains in the hole in terms of lifetime performance on HCL, Antonius can win it all back in one fell swoop on Friday.
And he isn't the only person who can profit from his hypothetical success.
Betting on Antonius
Polymarket, one of the show's lead sponsors, is offering a market where users can predict whether or not he will book a win. Currently, the market has Antonius' chances of profit at 54% – down from a high of 68%.
In spite of his losses on HCL in the past, Antonius has been a winning player in cash games and tournaments for the better part of three decades – making him a historically safe bet in these circumstances. In past appearances on live-streamed games at other venues, Antonius has proven himself more than capable of racking up monster wins.
Throughout 2024 and 2025, the Triton Poker NLH Cash Game sessions went exceedingly well for Antonius. His $2,357,812 in winnings positions him as the sixth-most profitable player in the pool.
And nearly three years ago to the day, Antonius won one of the largest televised pots in poker history on a special live-streamed edition of No Gamble, No Future – check it out below for a reminder of the Finn's capabilities on the felt.
Although, as we all know, there are no guarantees at the poker table – so predict wisely.
