These guys launch each type of challenges that I can’t close my mouth while reading this. After losing to Patrick, Cao launched a challenge divided in three different games.

so patrick won 600K in australia, he thinks he is on a roll...nothing can stop him bla bla bla...fair challenge though, i like that they decided to spread the challenge on 3 separate games and banks. i think that the challenge will end with 2-1 scoreline, so basically someone is gonna lose around 300K

Rui Cao has made a good bet here with patrik, he is by far the fouverit , he play so much more online then patrik, and he is a better play. And i think a lot of players underrestimate him in other games like trippel drew, he has been practicing a lot on trippel drew. but nice with a challenge for the railbirds

I agree with pochui that this must end as a 2-1, and although things haven't started the best way to Patrick Antonius, he still have the chance to turn the results around and ending winning 300k.
