Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen Losing Big as of Late

European poker pros Patrik Antonius and Gus Hansen have run out of luck in recent days.

Antonius has had a strong showing since the infamous April 15 indictments that sent his online poker room packing from the US market. That all changed over the weekend. Antonius managed to lose a measly $150k while playing just 251 hands. We say “measly” since he’s up over $1.7 million in the last month. One of the benefits of leaving the US market is the lack of competition from American pros. Antonius is among the strongest benefactors to date.

Move aside Patrik Antonius. Welcome a new Finnish online poker phenom. His name: Jens "Ingenious89" Kyllönen.

The 2009 EPT Copenhagen winner enjoyed yet another milestone over the weekend. Kyllönen just won a cool million dollars on Full Tilt Poker over the weekend, playing against the likes of Gus Hansen and Andreas “Skjervoy” Torbergsen.
