Doyle Brunson and top online pro Patrik Antonius may be playing something other than poker for high stakes this summer.
Already slated to play a high-stakes heads-up poker match this summer with more than $1 million on the line, Brunson recently posted on his blog to challenge Antonius to a golf match.
According to pokerkingblog.com:
Anyways, in his most recent blog posting on Cardplayer.com, Doyle talked some more about the challenge. He seemed to be irritated by a) the number of people talking about the challenge b) Patrik’s comments regarding the challenge c) the number of people asking him whether or not he thinks that he can beat Antonius.
So with Brunson in an already ornery mood, he issues a further challenge to Antonius - a golf match between the two players, for $100,000 a hole at the Bali Hai Golf Club, any time from now until the end of August. Brunson then tries to goad Antonius into accepting the match-up, saying “surely a twenty-seven year old ex-professional tennis player from Finland can beat a seventy-four-year-old guy with an artificial shoulder and who has to use a crutch to walk.”
Antonius already has approximately $2 million in high-stakes challenges in poker and sports already lined up for his summer, according to the blog.
