  1. This is the punt of all punts. I like how Eric doesn’t even consider the full house combos he loses to on turn considering how preflop action went.

    1. What combos?He has no clue what he is doing.Patrick click back on flop was also weird tho.Why would u go nuts with Q9hearst on this board.Even him playing lots of hand is unlikely he has a 3 and even if he has it he migh slowplay it decent amount.

    2. @@williambenson8641 I don’t think Eric cares about the money. Think poker is more an ego thing for him.

  2. Persson asking for a 9 or Q after realising Antonius has the nut flush draw not realising he was drawing dead is pure comedy 😂

    1. It was funny but I feel bad for him. You could see how nervous he was throughout that hand.

    2. @@johnsnakes6125 Why not?He is the reason this games are running.Even other amateurs want to get free money.

    3. @@user-ly5oo2hd7phe’s not even a poker player. Just donkey fun player. Learn more.

  3. I have always appreciated how patrick conducts himself at the table and is a high limit stud, im glad he has the record and scooped that from eric

    1. @@josephdale69not as crazy when you consider it’s against Eric. Would’ve thought about it way longer against most other players and folds to a few. Eric is a snap call though.

  4. I can’t imagine there’s a better feeling in poker than having your opponent drawing dead all in on the turn in a $2m pot

    1. What about the 600k he almost guaranteed to win for being the biggest winner?

    2. patrik is always rock solid, remember when he called phil laak with 104 of spades? but when eric says all in you can see patrik’s anxious, he knows hes gonna call and the money means something to him.

    3. @@bipolarpunt5721 They played for 2 days with barely any action. Persson finally had to much coke and blew up and now we have the winner. I doubt there will be a pot half that size again.

  5. It was an act of class from Patrik not to ask how many times do you wanna run it 😂

    1. that’s like that football team that went for the two point conversion at the end of the game when they were 57 points ahead

  6. Antonius is an absolute beast in cash game for more than 2 decades now. What a legend. Deserve this historical pot.

  7. Couldn’t have happened to a better player. Antonius has always been a great ambassador for the game. Congratulations!

    1. He really is!
      Never looses his cool , never complains, never berates other players, just an absolute legend of the game!

    2. I’ve been watching Patrik Antonius play poker since 07′ the most relax dude at the table 💯 of the time.

    3. the only player I’d rather see in Persson’s chair is Hellmuth, but I’m very happy to see Persson lose this hand.

  8. Eric thinks it’s possible to scare all poker players with his big bets, but now one of the world’s best came to visit 😁

    1. What are you talking about?guy lost 12M$ since he is active on high stakes scene😂
      He keeps pushing it in with inferior odds,how is that a goat?

    2. @@hancocksucks3300 lol he lost the biggest pot ever in US live stream history, only to lose an even bigger pot a couple weeks later – thereby breaking his own record and retaining his status as the 🐐

    3. @@sportspokerguy3506 you clearly don’t understand the term “goat”

    4. @@hancocksucks3300 brother I’m being funny, you don’t understand sarcasm

    5. @@sportspokerguy3506 the fact that you think thats funny is funny to me, so you kinda succeeded

  9. I love it. Eric’s personality annoys me and I love how cool and decent Patrick has always been at a table. Epic overplay by a giant fish.

    1. Eric has massive bully energy. Having been bullied a lot as a kid, I can spot it a mile away.

    2. @@ligafftheindifferent3495 The only lovely thing about that is he gives Helmuth a show for his mouth 😛

    3. And that’s the thing about him. When he loses it all, and he will, he won’t have anything but the memory of his money as his best friend.

  10. Patrik read this fish like a kindergarten book. The fast snap raise, the quick call and “let’s go” after the 3 bet on the flop, table talk trying to intimidate patrik from betting more, snap shove, then when patrik asks “what do you have?” persson nervously answers by telling him his chip stack – dead give away. Even though Patrick’s flush could be dead and could be drawing to two outs he knows even eric isn’t stupid enough to play 8s full or trip 3s like this.

    1. That’s exactly what I was thinking .. about him playing 8s full or 3s (quads) like that. Only a super amateur player would play it like he did .. Eric likes to bully and he’s been caught so many times 😂😂😂

    2. Eric thought Patriks down bet on the turn was KK or QQ. Honestly patrick should check the turn imo. But it worked out perfect this time.

    3. @@mikegoodwin5951the down bet is genius. Applies pressure to 8x qq, jj,1010, 99s and makes Eric spazz out with worth flush draws.

  11. I hope its not just me absolutely loving watching Eric lose big pots.

    1. It’s not just you, Eric is a fool. Not even smart enough to know he’s drawing dead when Antonius shows his hand. I laughed.

  12. Patrick saying “call” and showing almost no emotions is honestly such a boss move. I can’t stand Eric, this was a joy to watch 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻

    1. @@tapatapaz I actually think he was so surprised and like confused not nervous. Although who knows… Eric’s line made NO sense. He either had a weird nutted hand or absolute nothing…

    2. eric makes the gsme actually entertaining. some other just sit and show nothing, so boring

  13. I love how Eric snap-raises the flop without even taking a moment to consider what he’s repping by doing so. The value combos that want to get more money in against an uncapped aggressor’s range are few and far between. Then he tries to give Patrick the badass stare-down as if he just made some genius play.

  14. Patrik is such a balanced player he just moved through the hand textbook and handles the betting without any change in emotion.

    1. @@JSp8 is this true? I can’t find anything online confirming that at all

    2. @@JSp8 I do not know where you get those numbers. He is probably the best all around cash player in the World.

    3. @@jasonkiselis2866you’re right, i’m wrong. My apologies.. I’ve muddled up Patriks career with Gus Hansons. As you were

    4. @@Alkcjebbzhybaxbbush Nah i was totally wrong. I was thinking of Gus Hanson. My bad✌️

  15. I can’t believe I just witnessed the biggest punt in poker history! Eric may be an action junkie, but he just donated a massive sum to one of the greatest players in the game. Congratulations to Patrik for taking down the record-breaking pot and solidifying his status as a true legend of the felt!

  16. Eric is stunnnned. I can’t stop laughing, when he says 9 or Q and the table has to remind him Patrik hit the Ace and he’s dead. Almost felt bad.

    1. That was definitely the best part of the whole delicious thing………
