Flashback Friday - Patrik Antonius Wins Largest Pot in Online Poker History
This week's edition of Flashback Friday takes us back to
November 7, 2009, a day that will never happen again thanks
to recent changes at Full Tilt Poker. Patrik Antonius and Viktor "Isildur1" Blom were entangled in
a massive heads-up match playing $500-$1,000 PL Omaha. A mini-raising war pre-flop resulted in Antonius
five-betting to $81,000 before Isildur1 finally decided to
see a flop. On a flop of 5c-4s-2h, Antonius bet out $91,000, followed by
a pot-size raise by Isildur1 to $435,000,
Antonius potted to $779,000, effectively putting Isildur1
all-in for his last $162,473.

For some reason, Full Tilt thought that trying to convince
people they might actually win would be a better way to go:

Daniel Negreanu was pegged to be this site's spokesman, but
there were privacy concerns:
You can talk to these guys about
anything.

The Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge - Do You Care?
It was supposed to be the ultimate in heads-up poker
challenges. Tom "durrrr" Dwan was to take on all comers
(except Phil Galfond) for the Million Dollar Durrrr
Challenge. Nine months later.
