Lately Jason “pr1nnyraid” Rosenkrantz and Patrik Antonius have faced each other in a series of heads-up matches. We have seen action in the RailHeaven $500/1000 and in the $300/600 no-limit tables.

1st session:

In their first session Antonius beat Rosenkrantz for $227k. In one hand Patrik won a huge $272k pot when the river hit him perfectly:

2nd session

In their next session they were playing $300/$600 NL Holdem allthough Antonius was waiting in the $500/$1000 table also.

This time pr1nnyraid ran hot and it seemed like Antonius was maybe heating up a bit. First big pot was in the table Halbert. Before the flop pr1nnyraid raised to $1,8k and Antonius called.
Flop: Th Jh 6d
Antonius check-raised to over $10k and pr1nnyraid called.
Turn: 7h
After the turn Antonius thought for a long time, before making a big overbet to the $23k pot. pr1nnyraid called the all-in and players showed their hands.
Patrik Antonius shows [Js Kc]
pr1nnyraid shows [8d 9s]

River was meaningless and pr1nnyraid took down the nice $128k pot.

They played for a while and Antonius ended up steaming a little bit when pr1nnyraid hitted almost everything. Here is an example of that:

Before the flop Antonius re-raised to $3,6k and pr1nnyraid called.
Flop: 6d 7c 3d
Antonius bet $6k and pr1nnyraid called.
Turn: 5c
Antonius checked and after that pr1nnyraid made his famous all-in overbet. Antonius called with a flushdraw holding the AQ of diamonds while pr1nnyraid had made his straight with 46-offsuit. River didn’t bring a diamond so pr1nnyraid took the $115k pot

After that Antonius kept playing for about 20 hands before he ended his session with $-160k losses. After Antonius leaved, durrrr and pr1nnyraid talked about the flushdraw call:

durrrr: wtf
durrrr: whats that aq call?
pr1nnyraid: lol
pr1nnyraid: i dont know
pr1nnyraid: finnish tilt?
durrrr: lol

3rd session

Few hours later pr1nnyraid came back and this time Antonius and pr1nnyraid started to play in the RailHeaven with $500/$1000 blinds.

Pr1nnyraid bought $200k to table, while Antonius was sitting with $100k. It didn’t take too long to see a massive pot between these two excellent NL Holdem players.

After the turn board showed 5h5s4c9h and Antonius kept checking. pr1nnyraid bet $10k and Antonius re-raised to $31k. pr1nnyraid quickly moved all-in and Antonius called immediately:

pr1nnyraid: TsTh
Antonius: 9d5d

And Antonius won the $171k pot.

After that Tom “durrrr” Dwan joined also in the game with a $200k stack. Durrrr didn’t get involved in any big hands, but Antonius and pr1nnyraid did:
Before the flop Antonius re-raised to $12k and pr1nnyraid called.
Flop: 3sAdTs
Antonius bet $15k and pr1nnyraid called.
Turn: 3d
Antonius bet $32k and pr1nnyraid called again.
River: Td
After the river card was dealt Antonius thought for a long time before he moved all-in. pr1nnyraid snap called just to see Antonius full house with AsAh in his hand. Antonius took down the massive pot worth nearly $370k:

After that pr1nnyraid was steaming and the games ended quickly:

pr1nnyraid: im only playing like 2 more min
pr1nnyraid: too tilted
pr1nnyraid: gg blow something up
pr1nnyraid: maybe a pumpkin
pr1nnyraid: maybe a car
durrrr: 3k flip?
pr1nnyraid: nah
durrrr: pls?
pr1nnyraid: need it for dynamite
pr1nnyraid: later
pr1nnyraid: wheiotuhwiurh

Antonius won $262k in this quick RailHeaven session. You can only wonder what hand pr1nnyraid did have when he quickly called Antonius all-in in that huge $369k hand.
