Many of the game&#8217;s most notable players like Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey and Viktor Blom were grinding at the Full Tilt nosebleeds on a regular basis. However, from the spring of 2011 until FTP&#8217;s relaunch on November 6th, 2012, these games were forced to disappear.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, The Rational Group saved Full Tilt, and the high stakes games have quickly returned to\u00a0prominence. Now grinders like Ben Sulsky, Phil Galfond, Blom and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepokerpractice.com\/poker\/phil-ivey-returns-full-tilt\">Ivey are back and playing again<\/a>. And now you can add Patrik Antonius to this list as well since he just started playing online high stakes poker games again last week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slow Start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During his first session back from a lengthy hiatus, Antonius didn&#8217;t exactly do too well. The Finn lost $300,000 to a variety of opponents throughout the day. After taking some time to regroup, Antonius came back and won $485,000 in his next session &#8211; giving him a $185,000 net profit.<\/p>\n<p>Things have gotten a little rougher since that great session because, at the moment, Patrik is showing a loss of $190,000 since coming back to Full Tilt. If history is any indication though, it shouldn&#8217;t be long before we see a comeback from him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place in History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As some poker players know, Phil Ivey is the top earner in online poker history with over $18.5 million in total profits. And Antonius actually checks in behind him with the second most internet poker profits at $11.65 million.<\/p>\n<p>He was initially at $11.84 million, but the recent losses dropped his bankroll down a notch. This being said, it&#8217;ll be interesting to see if Patrik Antonius can get back to his winning ways and continue improving upon the $11.65m mark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior to Black Friday (April 15th, 2011), Full Tilt Poker was THE destination for online high stakes poker action.
