Patrik Antonius
Over $2.8 Million in Career Tournament Earnings
11 WSOP Cash Finishes
7 WPT Cash Finishes
1 EPT Title
Patrik Antonius plays online at Full Tilt Poker.
Patrik Antonius is one of the most widely recognized players in poker today, and with a record like his, its no wonder. Since taking up poker as a profession in 2002, he’s amassed almost $3 million as a result of his skill and aggressive style.
While Patrik played poker for years with his friends, it wasn’t until he started playing online that he got serious about developing his game. Within just a couple of months, his game improved along with his results.
Shortly after, Patrik moved to the US where he continued to put in hours of play. In addition to building upon a steadily increasing bankroll, he won a satellite entry into a WSOP event before returning home to Finland. He cites both the event and solid advice from seasoned pros as invaluable in his development as a poker player.
In 2005, Patrik lit up the tournament circuit. After cashing in two WPT tournaments, he went deep in three WSOP events, earning a combined total of almost $100K. Not one to let the cards get cold, he followed this up with impressive back-to-back performances on the EPT circuit. He took third in the Main Event in Barcelona for $145K before going on to win the EPT Baden classic for more than $340K. True to form, Patrik finished the year with his biggest cash to date. He took second place in the WPT Five Diamond Classic, earning over $1 million.
Since that time Patrik’s steadily built on an already impressive record, continuing to add both WPT and WSOP cash finishes to his list of accomplishments. Most recently, Patrik made the final table at the first event of the 2008 WSOP. He finished in seventh place, earning $124K.
While Patrik is clearly a world-class professional, there’s more to life for him than just poker. His competitive streak extends well beyond the game – he’s still a top-notch tennis player and an avid golfer. When he’s not dominating the court, the course, or the felt, Patrik spends his personal time with his fiancée and daughter.
If you want to see him in action, look for Patrik playing online at Full Tilt Poker.

Allen Cunningham
5 WSOP Bracelets
Over $10.2 Million in Career Tournament Earnings
2005 WSOP Player of the Year
Allen “Clever Piggy” Cunningham plays online at Full Tilt Poker.
Allen attended UCLA where he planned on pursuing an Engineering degree. While he enjoyed his studies, Allen also discovered that playing poker in some of the local casinos was an enjoyable and profitable past time. Soon, the success he experienced at the tables led Allen to leave school and pursue poker full time. It's a move he hasn't regretted.
At the table, Allen's engineering background has led him toward an analytical approach to the game. Allen remains quiet, controlled, and focused no matter what happens around him.
This style has paid off for him, beginning around 1999 when he enjoyed his first professional success at the Bicycle Casino's Legends of Poker. That year, he was named "Best All Around Player" after reaching the final table in five events, including victories in the $300 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo tournament and the $1,000 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament.
Two years later, Allen won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the $5,000 7-Card Stud tournament. He followed that up with another bracelet in 2002 when he won the $5,000 Deuce to Seven No-Limit tournament.
Allen had another strong WSOP in 2005; reaching four final tables and earning his third bracelet for winning the $1,500 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament. His performance also earned him a brand new pick-up truck and the title of ESPN/Toyota WSOP Player of the Year.
In 2006, Allen won his fourth WSOP bracelet in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament, and finished fourth at the WSOP Main Event earning $3.6 Million. In 2007, Allen’s picked up where he left off, winning his third bracelet in three years - and the fifth of his career - in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Hold ‘em event. This victory ties Allen with fellow Team Full Tilt members Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson on the all-time bracelet list and makes him one of just 16 pros who have earned five or more bracelets throughout their careers. In 2008, Allen won the WSOP-C No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship at Caesars Palace and reached yet another final table at the 2008 WSOP, finishing fourth in the $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha/Hold ‘em tournament.
In addition to his WSOP titles, Allen has also earned victories in the Ultimate Poker Challenge's $3,000 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament and at the $5,000 No-Limit Hold 'em event at the Bellagio Five-Star World Poker Classic.
Even when he's not playing tournaments, you can usually find Allen at a poker table. He enjoys playing a variety of cash games, including Pot-Limit Omaha and mixed games like HORSE. He also plays online regularly at FullTiltPoker.com

Gus Hansen
Over $7.1 Million in Career Tournament Earnings
The Only Player to Win Four WPT titles
Winner of the 2007 Aussie Millions Main Event
Gus Hansen plays online at Full Tilt Poker.
Gus was born on February 13th, 1974 just outside of Copenhagen, Denmark and grew up playing a lot of sports, especially tennis.
Gus has always been fascinated by numbers and math. When he was introduced to backgammon, it became a challenge and he practiced intensively until he was ready to test his skills around the world. Gus ended up in New York, touring backgammon and gin rummy clubs, and hanging out with guys like Huckleberry Seed and Phil Laak. It was during this time that Gus was introduced to various types of poker, including Stud games.
Gus played his first World Series of Poker in 1996 but, looking back, says he had absolutely no chance of winning, as he had never really played No-Limit Hold 'em before then. After being knocked out on the first day, Gus decided to start practicing more, testing new plays and experimenting with different styles. Experimentation and mixing-up his style has been part of Gus' game ever since.
By 1998, Gus found himself playing more poker than backgammon, and making more frequent trips to Las Vegas. When the World Poker Tour kicked off in 2002, Gus had developed a loose, aggressive style that immediately paid off, both in terms of money and recognition.
Gus won the WPT's inaugural event, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic. Later that year, Gus took down another event, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the WPT's L.A. Poker Classic.
During the WPT's second season, Gus won the invitation-only Bad Boys of Poker tournament and, in early 2004, earned his fourth WPT title at the Caribbean Adventure tournament. Gus was also in contention for another title that season, but had to settle for third place in the Bellagio Five Diamond tournament when his pocket 10s failed to hold up against his opponent's A-Q.
Gus reached yet another final table during the WPT's third season, but ended up with a third-place finish in the Bay 101 Shooting Stars tournament. All in all, those four WPT wins and five final table appearances earned Gus induction into the WPT's Walk of Fame the first year they launched it. To this day, Gus remains the only player on the WPT with four titles to his credit.
In 2005, Gus decided to play fewer tournaments in order to focus on his cash game. Still, even with the reduction in tournament play, Gus made it the final table at the FullTiltPoker.Net Poker Invitational from Monaco and won the Grand Final of the inaugural Poker Superstars Invitational.
In 2006, Gus has been even more selective about his participation in tournaments and other events. Recently, he played in the second season of High Stakes Poker where he won the biggest pot in the show's history ($575,700) defeating Daniel Negreanu's 6 6 with his 5 5 on a board of 9 6 5 5 8.
In 2007, Gus continued to build on his growing list of tournament championships, bringing home $1,192,919 for his first-place finish in the $10,000 Aussie Millions Main Event in Melbourne, Australia. Gus added another $1.7 million in tournament winnings to his bankroll in 2008 when he finished second to fellow Full Tilt Poker pro David Chiu in the WPT’s World Championship at Bellagio. 2008 saw Gus take second in the WPT’s $25K World Championship event where he banked more than $1.7 million and 10th at the WSOP’s $10K World Championship Mixed event.
When not playing tournament poker, Gus is a regular participant in the "Big Game" at the Bellagio battling it out in as many as 13 different poker games with players such as Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Barry Greenstein, and David Benyamine.
Online, Gus can often be found in a high-limit Pot-Limit Omaha game or an Omaha 8/B Limit game on FullTiltPoker.com. On occasion, he can also be found in low-stakes Limit Hold 'em and Razz games, along with low-limit SNGs and some of FullTiltPoker.com's larger tournaments.
If Gus isn't playing poker, there is a good chance you can find him on the golf course, the tennis court, the squash court or playing soccer with his friends, as he finds that playing sports and working out help him maintain the physical stamina he believes is needed to be a successful poker player.
Gus also finds time in his schedule to provide poker commentary for both Danish and American television shows, and is always ready to play a high-stakes backgammon match against anybody who would like to challenge him.
Gus is currently single and resides in Monte-Carlo, Monaco where he spends a lot of time with his family.
