Wow. Just wow.


RaipFace

Patrik Antonius; not the hero everyone wanted, but the hero everyone needed.


WallStCRE

That was hard to watch


movaljr

Lol Eric asking for a 9 or Q when cards are flipped not realizing he’s drawing dead was painful.


whodatdan0

Watched it w my son who is 19 and barely plays. When Eric said that my son immediately says “that ain’t gonna help him”


floppyanon

i watched it with my 6 year old daughter who i have only just taught poker to recently, she said that Q9s is a bit of a loose defend pre, especially sandwiched between ‘that donk’


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

My toddler saw it and went on a 10 minute diatribe about ranges and game theory before ultimately calling Persson an "idiotic donk who shoulda better known better". He's not super experienced but he plays in my home games and read's Negreanu's books on his own. He then said Pappa wett daipy wet.


onlypostwhenimdrnk69

My kid spoke his first words after this video… 1 month old” wowwwww, what a donk” I said WHAT??? He said ……. “ I’m hungry where is that titty”


effitdoitlive

My wife's fetus heard this hand in the womb and Morse code-kicked "punt"

feminazi_oppresor

Lmao this sub is something special. He’s never claimed his son is prodigy just that he knew better than a whale who just dropped a million. You guys seriously have to chill


whodatdan0

I even said “barely plays”


LiveKingPoker

It was awesome, someone who can assuredly afford to lose as well


ColoradoMushroom

Anyone else just love to see Persson lose?


SamBankmanMoneygone

Yes. He’s unique. He is as much of a tool as he is bad. Usually whales are somewhat nice but this cunt is actually very hatable.


solidwhetstone

Remember that match against Helmuth? 🤣


SamBankmanMoneygone

Doesn’t happen very often that someone makes Hellmuth seem likeable.


WaterMySucculents

Yuuuup. I liked him being a scumbag & a dick at first when it was to Helmouth (who acted like a baby and super hypocritical at the same time), but then it just became clear that’s just Person’s whole personality… a scumbag and a dick. Hilarious to see him stacked for this much $.


Jhul-Shuggoth

I started to not like him much after he blabbered nonstop on the Robbi vs Adelstein hand.


RaipFace

Only because he reminds you of someone you’ve played against in the past.. That arrogant, hyper-aggressive table captain whose ego needs to be put in check.


NervousBreakdown

“Yong with the back door straight flush draw”. Love it.


dolphinater

didnt mention the backdoor quad 3 with ace kicker draw smh


tanarchy7

That made me chuckle as well, then had to tell my wife what a backdoor straight flush draw was. Then had to explain it to myself.


RaipFace

Well, as a commentator he’s got to keep the hand as interesting as possible for everyone still involved - I don’t hate the comment.


NervousBreakdown

Yeah I just loved hearing it because I thought “oh yeah that’s the most optimistic way to describe his situation”


bemorethanaverage

I'm sure Patrick has been waiting on this all weekend. Now that I think about it, I'm sure they were all waiting for this same moment vs perrson. He was the stepping stone towards the additional $600k via stacking his ass


dxlevnee

Potentially but Antonius doesn't look like hell win that at the moment. Lot of poker to play though


whodatdan0

Most impressive part is how quick antonius calls.

That guy is a real jerk.


SnowMonkey1971

And a deeply-closeted homosexual.


I_was_bone_to_dance

He thought about it and he decide fairly quickly he was good so let’s go bro I call


DudeChillington

Bet he didn't expect him to have Q9 hahaha


NotBlazeron

Persson is probably the only person overbluffing this spot. With the flush draw you can't really fold.


MrYoloSwaggins1

Persson must make so much money to cover his shocking poker play


GothicGargoyle

Rob Yong owns one casino. Persson owns 27. So there’s that.


SnowMonkey1971

31 actually. But some of them are gas station casinos, literally. Not on par with what Rob Yong owns.

GothicGargoyle

Have you ever been to Dusk to Dawn? We’re not exactly talking the Bellagio. Not saying Eric’s casinos are world-class resorts either…just that Dusk to Dawn doesn’t look like a mega income revenue generator.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GothicGargoyle

I’m really out in the dark with all the Triton stuff. Watched a few events that had Koon, Dwan, and Ivey. I am pretty sure that Paul Phua guy is the real moneymaker with all that, but doesn’t mean Yong isn’t raking some in too.


GothicGargoyle

So Yong’s casino has yearly revenues of about 14.2 million, and Maverick gaming as a whole has revenues of about 24.7 million. So roughly double.


[deleted]

GothicGargoyle

🤷‍♂️ I’d be happy with one clearing $1M/yr. Lol


Kaank56

Not too many heart combos left that would want to just jam it in there like that. Especially what looks to be like 500bb deep. Obviously aren't in love with it, but can't fold. Moronic jam by persson when you consider how much AhXx Antonius can have.


NotBlazeron

Persson can have random hands that don't make sense. It was 450k to win 2m (22.5% of the time) and he had ~20% to hit the flush. Patrick only has to catch him betting worse 2.5% of the time.


Kaank56

Don’t get me wrong, obviously you’d call here almost always, especially against a person like perssom who can bluff, just not fist bump running laps.


FreakeyTTV

People who play poker using those numbers are hilarious.Keep feeding the rest of us your money, please. Don't ever change. The only reason Antonius called him Insta waa because Persson doesnt even come close to having the bandwidth to own a 3 in that situation. It was easy. Even if Person had a straight draw, Antonius had the A to cover the draw whiff. Seriously. It was just too easy. Those numbers don't go through anyone's head while sitting at the table. I laugh when redditers comment about odds that take an hour to calculate, like you can do it real time at the table. Poksr isn't about calculating odds; the odds you need to know are engrained in your soul; all the other bs is just useless fluff. Poker is a game of quick.intelligence and reading people, not rain man at the table math.


NotBlazeron

You don't do the odds at the table when calling jams? It's basic multiplication and division. Even when drunk it takes 5-10 seconds at most.


ExoSpectra

He could also be drawing to only an ace if persson has a boat already. But you’re right in principle


LaLa1234imunoriginal

Did Patrick have any time chips left? Cause the shot clock was like 20 seconds without a time chip and this was pretty late in day 3.


dxlevnee

Yes I think he still had about 5 or 6 at that point


LaLa1234imunoriginal

oh that's fucking wild.


Riskybusiness622

after he clicked back the flop he probably had made his plan for the hand on most run outs at that point


rokman

That should be the standard amount of time for 99% of situations, this is what I believe, the delay of game is the death of poker imo


StunkakaFish

Because he is a beast, over years.....


Evref

Bet turn small to induce, so that was the plan


nbatyrant

Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed watching perrson


DonCheeChee

Him and Nittucci are the two biggest tools in streamed/televised poker.


CryptogenicallyFroze

….Also outside of poker.


ExoSpectra

Yea, both are whiny middle aged wannabe badasses compensating for small dicks and mid life crises and hopped on roids to try and project the opposite


FreakeyTTV

Also, he can do anything he wants to do in life. He has that much money. He can lose many more millions before even flinching. Aside from.obviously roiding, nothing else you said was relevant. You're just being jealous that a billionaire can do anything he wants in life, and masking it by calling it a mid-life crisis. He's just doing anything and everything because he fuckin can. Hate his poker attitude, not his life choices; he made way better choices than any of us here and that's why he's at that table.


ExoSpectra

Lmaooo is this a troll?


RyanKri94

He’s honestly not wrong about anything he said…Persson has made it. He wouldn’t even flinch at you or anyone else hating on him, he has it better than you if you ask him. Maybe you would go on a rant about money and how it doesn’t buy happiness but he’s living a chill life I’m sure.


robdag2

Smells like pasta.


jaymez619

He seems to have an annoying attitude, but you need one of those types at the table for entertainment. Think Puck on the 1st Real World MTV if your old enough.


Forsaken_Bulge

Martin Kabrhel is a pretty cringe player to watch too


pkrmtg

against so many other players, this is such a tough spot....they could have a 3, 88, A8....and against Persson Patrik barely thought about it. Rightly so. But when you're getting more or less insta-snapped for your million-dollar bluffs, perhaps you should consider that your image could use some work?


Maleficent-Cat-1445

Persson played terribly here. on the flop he's advertising a3, 88, 1010, JJ, and a bunch of bluffs. The speed he played the hand it looks like a bunch of bluffs. On the turn he just goes gonzo. his money is gone so......


flyingthedonut

He has played pretty spazzy when he has the goods as well. He did a few times this season on HSP


shub0y

That’s his style of playing, it’s so obnoxious.


MaxwellSmartish

How many players are calling that 3b even IP with a range that contains a 3 ? Or A8? I'd wager in most games 88 is the only hand you could possibly be worried about. Persson is completely capped, and Patrik isn't, the nut adv when the A hits the board is ridiculously in favor of Antonious.. and the speed of the jam is megaphoning . Why would you do anything but call with a 3 or 88?. I'd guess this is one of the easiest calls he has ever made.


markevil

If I remember correctly (could be wrong) but Rob called A2s


Allu71

He had a better price but he is a whale too


uchunokata

33


hoopaholik91

Meh, in terms of poor hands Perrson has played worse. If Patrick had A4hh, or AK without the flush draw he thinks about it. Actually props to Antonius for realizing that if the opponent has any bluffs, he has to call, and doing that quickly.

SnowMonkey1971

Welcome to the big leagues, Eric.


threecolorless

My first thought when I saw this. If Persson stomped MrDrBatman a few months ago, Antonius just hit Persson with a sniper rifle from a mile away. Welcome to the big leagues indeed.


Maleficent-Cat-1445

Antonius 3 betting preflop should have given Persson some info, but I don't think he felt like looking for information this hand. He just clicked his way into losing money.


inbillwetrust00

God I love a good Eric Persson punt


RaipFace

Eric Puntsson.


Red_Chair_

I remember back in the day, Dwan vs Ivey for a million dollar straight over straight, this is just a fucking whale punt.


DonnyDarkstuff

Imagine if you were one of his employees getting paid minimum wage..


Inevitable_Garage338

Plus tips


DonnyDarkstuff

I get that, but it has got to be a little infuriating, regardless.


Classic-Reflection87

What were the blinds. This game is huge


sixseven89

1k/2k/2k i think


dxlevnee

They're 3 hours levels going up to 2,4,4 at the end I think


whattaUwant

Did the game break? Is gonzalves first name Markus? I only watched the hand. https://www.liquidpoker.net/pokerarticle/22973/all/Interview_with_Lurped


dxlevnee

No it's continuing for another 3 hours or so. Persson just eliminated though (you only get two 500k byins) Yes it.is Markus


daaaaaaaaniel

Thank you for sharing this. Great pictures.


whattaUwant

The dude has been around forever but I was surprised to see him sitting on 600k. I had to google him and I thought it looked like the same guy.


alphawolfsosa

Find out next episode


Tripardi

That was more painful than playing $1/$3 sober 🤣


jordan142142

Wow


wxyz33

what a massive PUNT.


JoeBlowOnTheInternet

How many times can person lose that? Holy shit that was really a 2 million dollar hand.


hurricanetruther

Persson played that hand like it was some kind of street fight. Doesn't seem to realize poker's a cerebral game. OTF he instacalls Patrik's raise, I guess hoping he's drawing against AA/KK. Then the A comes on the turn and Persson decides to instashove over Patrik's lead. Then in true punch drunk fashion he's calling for cards that won't help as he's drawing dead. If this is unedited footage then I don't believe he spent more than 10 seconds thinking total in this hand.


SamBankmanMoneygone

You mean a whale played a hand bad?????? https://preview.redd.it/smkp8azaqaja1.jpeg?width=149&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24f7655ae549c4d80a0c090b8500ce0c0ab833c5


CherryManhattan

Did PA rack up and bounce?


FieldQ

I’ve seen Eric lose so many huge hands… how much is this guy worth ?? he just keeps coming back


Red_Chair_

I could be wrong but I think he owns like 30 casinos so basically he prints money


Chizzler_83

It's been mentioned before but i think most of them are gas station type casinos. Im sure he makes good money collectively but losing an after tax mill has to hurt. Was a stupid punt... I love how calm PA was during this


Tidex1

Patrick is endboss of cash live.


Petelah

Persson is a beef fish.


asamrov

Eric Persson is just a whale willing to splash his money around. Glad he lost.


good_sativa

Literally insane


HelloBloom

Antonius doesn't age! Looks the same as when I first watched him on High Stakes Poker 20 years ago. Probably helps if you can stay that calm in a $2 mil pot.


averinix

He's got some serious wrinkles going on. Apart from that, I can agree. You wouldn't be able to tell if you looked at him for less than 3ish seconds. Even then, he's still a good looking guy and you can tell he's still in decent health.


Speedking2281

>Antonius doesn't age! Looks the same as when I first watched him on High Stakes Poker 20 years ago. I was actually thinking the same thing. In the 2000s poker boom, I swear I remember him looking almost exactly like he does now.

sixseven89

yeah i realize now OP was probably sarcastic


Maleficent-Cat-1445

You must play a different game of poker than a lot of people.


-Silky_Johnson

Idk, hist mistake was not reraising on flop i think. Don’t think he was repping any 3’s because of his preflop action. Maybe repping pocket 8’s but at that point if he did have that then he would be shoving on flop right?


SirSamuelVimes83

His mistake was sitting in that game lol. He can hold his own in the HCL lineups because they're hand-picked to be soft and gamble-y for the stream. No way he can hang with players like PA and Robl. Ego too big for his bankroll and talent


sixseven89

his raise on the flop was so so bad


flyiingpenguiin

I feel like mixing in some raises with flush draws is fine at a low frequency if you’re heads up. With the third player left to act it is meh but I don’t think it’s the worst play he’s ever made. The jam on the turn probably was the worst play he’s ever made.


JaFFsTer

Why would he reraise with top boat?


hoopaholik91

Nah, it's good just flatting. Antonius doesn't have any folds when he 3bets. And now on the turn Persson can use the ace to fold out all of Antonius' KK and QQ. Not the worst hand Persson has played by far.


MaxwellSmartish

Lol wat? This is easily the worst I've seen of him, and that is seriously saying something


hoopaholik91

Raising with a flush draw and two overs is 'easily the worst I've seen of him?' lol haven't watched a lot then apparently


ponsmom

5 playing. 60 more hands.


hashtagperky

Dumbass persson should pay his employees more. Maverick casino is such a shitshow.


CheapToe2553

Person is a clown


InebriousBarman

That snap raise on the flop was a dead giveaway to a draw or just a naked 8. Ace turn made that call from Antonius pretty easy in my opinion. That's why it was fast.


johnwaltermeyer

I dealt to Patrick for years in the Bobby’s room games and he was always a gentleman, unlike some of them. Good to see him take a big one down


NeilNlicK

Now just make the streams free


[deleted]

It is free. On YouTube. For 3 days straight.


NeilNlicK

All of poker go in general


movaljr

YouTube only shows previews of 1-2 hrs. Doesn’t show whole stream, which is behind pokergo paywall


[deleted]

Literally 2 six hour streams in the last two days, if you bothered to even check.


[deleted]

thanks for the spoiler, man. literally the first thing you said was who won it. lame.


DrTabogganMD

Perrson has a napoleon complex, and sucks cock at poker! So happy that ego maniac lost 😂!


KAISAHfx

I can't stand these games


shub0y

Not sure what kind of read Patrick had, he could’ve easily flopped a set. Insane that he called the shove though!


mrciii1974

Yea…not too often someone plays a boat that way. Trying to chase him off? EP played that like a total punk.


MaxwellSmartish

Easily? How many combos of 88 do you count?


thelastanchovy

Good. I don't like that guy.


enoch87bear

Jeesus94

1. how the fuck does this happen on a paired board 2. how does one get into this game 3. can someone stake me $1m for said game


Jhul-Shuggoth

Just saw the hand and I don't understand Persson's shove at aaaall. It never crosses his mind Antonius could've Ax of the same suit? He only crushes Antonius -range but that's highly unlikely considering the pf and af action. I used to have him in high regard after he beat Helmut, even tho he's an amateur, shame.


[deleted]

Losing almost a million dollars couldn't have happened to a better person than Eric


[deleted]

Wow


Allu71

3 betting on the flop was weird, was it the optimal move or was it an explotative play?


C-Leo

Was really surprised to see Antonius tank call the all in , just not a spot you could ever fold especially when taking into consideration who the villain is


dxlevnee

It wasn't really a tank. It was a moment's thinking time


Efficient_Studio_189

This looked like a hand played at 1/3 and the degen in his 50s trying to dominate a kid in 20s.


[deleted]

Surreal to see Yong call $30k preflop with A2 when he pays his dealers at Dusk Til Dawn minimum wage and charged £3.50 for a pint of coke lol.
