This is how he fell back on poker. He began playing at the age of 11, first for candy-money, later for ever increasing stakes.

When it became clear that his career as a professional tennis player had ended, he first sifted through a bunch of different jobs before becoming focused on poker as a means to earn a living.

As the online poker fever struck, he was right on top of his game. He said it seemed incredible how much potential there was in playing just about any time of the day one wanted to, at several tables in the same time. He began playing online in 2003, and quickly turned a $200 deposit into a $20k bankroll.

He became affiliated with Martinspoker, but he also began playing at Full Tilt and PokerStars.

Often, he would play a grueling 12 hours a day, everyday, for extended periods of time, but his results would always justify his efforts.

Every successful online poker player will sooner or later move on to live play, because obviously, that’s where the truly big money is. Antonius made his move in 2005, and almost immediately drew attention with two very nice WPT finishes: a 12^th position in the Caribbean Adventure, and a 15^th later in WPT’s Bay 101 Shooting Stars of Poker.

The WSOP was the following step for him, and he did indeed finish in the money in 3 events in 2005.

What followed was a streak of victories and high money finishes in different EPT events, which ended up prompting him to move to Las Vegas.
