Thus, Triton announced the confrontation as the biggest televised heads-up in poker history. The two Finns will measure their skills on the series stage in Jeju, while the organization will broadcast all the action live on its streaming platforms.
However, Ketola arrives riding a streak of million-dollar confrontations. A few days ago, the businessman faced Wiktor “Limitless” Malinowski in a series of matches at Triton Jeju II itself. At the end of the duels, “Monarch” accumulated US$ 6 million in profit against the Pole.
Additionally, Ketola’s recent history shows that huge amounts are already part of his routine. In 2025, the Finn won a record pot of US$ 10.99 million against Alex Foxen at the same festival. Furthermore, he also played heads-ups against names like Kayhan Mokri and Dan “Jungleman” Cates.

Patrik Antonius puts cash game experience to the test
However, Patrik Antonius carries decades of experience in the world’s biggest cash games. A member of the Poker Hall of Fame, the Finn also has great moments in broadcasts. In 2023, for example, he won a pot of US$ 1,978,000 on the show No Gamble, No Future: Cash of the Titans.
Thus, on that occasion, Antonius also revealed his relationship with televised matches. “I have always felt very comfortable in front of the cameras and enjoyed playing on broadcasts and televised poker, especially cash games. These are really very fun things to play, what can I say?”, said the professional.
Finally, Antonius and Ketola will share the Triton stage again right after the million-dollar duel. The two will form a team in the US$ 200,000 Triton Invitational, which starts on Saturday (12) in Jeju. Before that, however, the Finns will put US$ 20 million at stake in a confrontation that could produce another historic chapter of televised cash games.
