In this weekly poker hand Jonathan covers a hand from a Triton Poker event played between two high stakes professionals: Charlie ‘Epiphany77’ Carrel & Patrik Antonius.
Charlie has been known to publicly state that he has never used a poker solver and relies very heavily on an exploitative approach to the game. This makes him extremely fun to watch as he takes actions that a Game Theory Optimal approach would not. This poker hand is no different as he opts to raise from the small blind with 84o!
Charlie Carrel is from England and has $9,600,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of $1,600,000 coming at this 2019 Triton series in a $50,000 tournament. He is known for relying on live reads to make decisions at the table.
Patrik Antonius is from Finland and has $13,800,000 in live tournament earnings. Patrik is known for being stoic at the table and near impossible to get a live read from.
Patrik Antonius went on to finish 17th in this event for $52,000, but Charlie Carrel did not manage to cash.
Triton Super High Roller Bowl London took place in 2019 from July 31st – August 8th. There were 7 events ranging from £25,000up to the main event of £1,050,000 (which is the largest ever buy-in for a single poker tournament)
This exciting poker hand history is from the Triton Super High Roller Bowl London $25,000 6-Handed Turbo tournament at Aspers Casino in Westfield Stratford City, London in 2019.
The poker hand starts with Charlie ‘Epiphany77’ Carrel raising from the small blind to 80,000 with 84o and Patrik Antonius in the big blind decides to defend with K6o. The flop comes Jd 9s 6h, and Carrel continues the aggression with a bet of 65,000. Antonius decides to call with his bottom pair.
The 5h turn slows Carrel down and he decides to check. Antonius checks behind. The river card is the 2d, and Carrel decides to put Antonius to the test for his tournament life and puts him all in. Antonius takes his time but eventually decides to call and is correct with his bottom pair and earns himself a well deserved double up!

Do YOU use live reads at the poker table? 🤔
Not a fan of this move at this level at all. But still a big call.
"Patrick has 3rd pair in position, absolutely cannot fold this"….. this is why I'm not a great poker player. I can come up with 30 reasons to fold that 🤣
I have met Patrick at Whole Foods on Charleston in Vegas. He is very polite, gracious, gentleman.
I'm not good enough to play reverse tell on the table, but I have made some live reads and use them correctly to my advantage.
One time that immediately comes to mind, I was playing against a spewy player who is pretty expressive. I had 33 and call his raise with position. Flop came Q93 with a flush draw. He c-bet and I reraise, he called. Turn comes a T, no flush. His face and eyes light up in a way that I just knew he made a strong hand with that card. He checks, after a pause I checked it back. River is another T, still no flush, which made me somewhat discount 99 from his holding and pin him to KJ for straight on turn. He bets, and after another pause I ripped in big with the worst full house. After tanking he called with his losing straight.
That was one of the best live read I ever made.
Trying a reverse tell was a terrible move
I think live reads, at the very least at low stakes, are probably extremely valuable.
Wait, so Patrick is playing just a lowly 20bb stack?
You play the player at this level. To make money, you have to be good at the read
I’m no fan of Charlie. Even so I think it’s suicide to make this play against Antonius. He’s one of the best ever and STILL at the very top unlike some of the “old school” players.
