Patrik Antonius didn’t even know who “KidPoker” was when he first ran into him at FullContactPoker.com. All that mattered was that his new adversary was willing to play him heads up for absurd amounts of money. Within an hour and a half of $500-$1000 Limit Hold’em, “KidPoker” had taken Antonius for $90k. It was only after he had clawed his way back to a respectable $60k deficit that Patrik learned he’d been tussling with Daniel Negreanu.
