Patrik Antonius
High stakes returns to having a European flavor. This Friday, February 27, Patrik Antonius
The Finn’s two previous appearances on the show were in November 2022. In his debut, the result was not as expected: he closed the session with a loss of US$135.400. The following day he managed to dress up the numbers with a profit of US$10.600, a small relief that was not enough to balance his history on the stream.
Now, more than two years later, Antonius has the opportunity to change the narrative in one fell swoop at a table that usually gathers millions of dollars in play.
Patrik Antonius: the betting has already started
The expectation is not only felt at the table. One of the event’s main sponsors, Polymarket, opened a market for users to predict whether Antonius will finish the session in the positive or negative.
The show itself announced it on social media: “Patrik Antonius returns to High Stakes Friday on February 27. Will he win? The bets are open”.

According to the market, the current odds of the Finn winning are around 54%, although in the early movements they reached 68%, a clear sign of the respect his career generates.
And there is no lack of reasons. Beyond his previous results on HCL, Antonius has been one of the most consistent players on the high stakes circuit for nearly three decades. In 2024 and 2025, for example, he recorded extremely profitable cash game sessions at Triton Poker NLH, accumulating winnings of US$2.357.812 and ranking among the most profitable players in the select group.
Additionally, nearly three years ago he starred in one of the largest televised pots in poker history in a special edition of “No Gamble, No Future”, making it clear that his cold blood remains intact when the figures skyrocket.
Of course, in poker there are no guarantees. At a table where every decision can move six figures, everything can happen. But if one thing is clear, it’s that Antonius’s return to High Stakes Friday is already one of the most anticipated events on the live cash game calendar.
