Onyx Cup - High Stakes Tournament Series Launched by Full Tilt Poker
Recently, Full Tilt Poker announced that it was set to launch the Onyx Cup series. This will bring together elite poker players and provide them with the opportunity to go up against each other in a series of six tournaments. The high stakes no limit Hold’em events will comprise of five preliminary rounds and a grand finale.
The buy-ins in the series will be among the highest the game has ever seen. This will range between $100,000 and $300,000 and the grand finale itself will have a buy-in of $250,000. The prize pool is estimated to be around $3,000,000 and the finals will see an addition of close to a million to this. The tournament is open to all and will take place in Asia, Europe and the United States. The series will be broadcast to 40 countries in over 20 languages.
What Team Full Tilt Has to Say about the Onyx Cup
In a discussion on the Onyx cup series were five members from Team Full Tilt. One was Phil Ivey, who is considered by many in the poker circuit to be the best poker player in the world. He has won all poker variations that can be played both online and in land based poker rooms. Next was Patrik Antonius who has earned 3 million in tournament winnings. He is also well-known as a skilled cash game player.
Gus Hansen who has won several tournaments featuring high buy-ins too was part of the discussion. He has won WPT titles in addition to a bracelet. Also present was Eric Seidel, a professional poker player has been on a successful run in high stakes games in 2011 alone. Tom Dwan a high stakes player who is considered one of the most creative and unpredictable player in the game too was in the discussion.
When asked whether the players were charged about the fact that playing in the game alone could cost close to a million dollars, these members from Team Full Tilt gave positive responses. Phil Ivey added that the tournament is not just about the money, it is about playing against those of high calibre. He stated that winning the event will bring with it a sense of pride that can be more valuable than the prize money.
The players were then asked about their opinion on whether the launch of the Onyx Cup was a surprise or expected. Patrik Antonius responded that the creation of such a series was bound to happen. According to him, poker had been running the same cycle for long - and it had to change. Eric Seidel said that the formation of such a series was a natural progression for the game. He added that Full Tilt Poker is the only organization capable of launching a series where the best players in the world could come together.
When asked whether players would face the additional pressure of performing in a series like the Onyx Cup, Gus Hansen stated that the game always brings with it a certain amount of pressure. According to him, there are few players who can rise above it and perform. He added that players like Phil Ivey, Eric Seidel, Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan were capable of doing so – which is why they are a part of the series.

Partik Antonius the HOT Shark
Do not let the good looks and the friendly personality fool you, Patrik Antonius is a powerful force at any poker table. Nicknamed the “Brand Pitt of Poker,” this former tennis standout has changed his ambitions of playing professional tennis for the more lucrative confines of the poker room. Antonius stated playing serious poker at the age of 24 when he entered a large amount of European Poker Tour events. His high skill level was quite obvious right away as he earned over $1.7 million dollars in a variety of high stakes poker events. He was even granted the prestigious title of European Poker Tour rookie of the year in 2005.

Play Online Poker
Never mind the fact that Antonius has banked approximately $10 million is his short career thus far, because the most impressive characteristic of this talented card shark is his ability to play for massive amounts of money without showing the slightest hint of emotion. In the hit TV series High Stakes Poker, Patrik lost the biggest single pot ever shown on television, $743,800 to the former world champion Jamie Gold. Amazingly, Antonius was more than a 3 to 1 favorite when the bulk of the money was shoved into the pot and although he came out on the short end of the stick, his demeanor remained unchanged.
The best poker players in the world need to have a short memory and must display an uncanny ability to bounce back, even after taking the hardest beats possible. This is why Patrik Antonius can call himself one of the greatest in the world. Despite losing the massive single pot to Jamie Gold, the good looking shark came back with avenges. He continued to battle in the richest cash games both online and live until he gained remittance for his unfortunate loss. That is because Patrik Antonius has the impressive line in his resume that states he has raked in the single largest hand to ever be recorded on an internet poker site. That pot was worth nearly $1.4 million dollars and he set the unprecedented feat in 2009.
This give Mr. Antonius the distinct characteristic of winning the biggest pot ever seen at an internet poker table and also the tarnish on his reputation for losing the single largest pot ever shown on television. The swings of no limit Texas Hold’em are about the only thing that is guaranteed in the game of poker and Patrik Antonius is living proof of that. It is quite obvious that he will remain undeterred by the loses and exasperated by the victories to be an omnipresent force in any high stakes poker game.
