Patrik Antonius has been running well lately, and fellow high-stakes regular Ben “Sauce1234” Sulsky has been one of his recent victims.

This past Saturday, Antonius and Sulsky sat down at the virtual felt for some $200-$400 no-limit hold’em action on Full Tilt Poker. The brief session gave Antonius a profit of more than $100,000.

Part of the profits were thanks to hitting a straight on the river for slightly more than $99,000.
