Poker Pro Anton Antonen Shares Wild Stories from His Career
Anton Antonen, a professional poker player, has had his fair share of unusual experiences. One such incident involved moving to a new place with a French cash game player after facing issues with his previous landlord. The new arrangement included a house with a pool, but things quickly took a turn when his friend's nocturnal activities became disruptive.
In one memorable heads-up tournament, Anton found himself severely hungover due to excessive consumption of strange blue Mexican cocktails. Despite his condition, he managed to win several matches but had to deal with frequent vomiting. The situation escalated when the toilet clogged due to the unusual blue liquid, adding to his already challenging day.
Anton's travels for poker tournaments have also been eventful. He once flew to London with Manig Loeser and Dominic Nietzsche after playing online tournaments. The journey was far from smooth, as he struggled with printing his boarding pass and dealing with excess baggage. Despite these challenges, Anton believes that the most important quality for a successful poker player is the ability to solve problems.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
