That was during the golden age of online nosebleed stakes (i.e. end of '09)...you'll rarely see money get thrown around like that on a regular basis online in 2011 to increase the odds that a sick hand like that could happen...

 Insane pot, and Patrik looked liked a genius with his call on the river. Had it NOT worked, he would have looked like a Negreanu, Hellmuth, or Matusow.

The hand was played on Full Tilt as the surrounding text clearly states.
That victorypoker.net insignia is just an advertisement. |

how is that an "easy to make usually" call at any stakes? |

even at $1/$2 NL I honestly would save my last $20 for parking and a cheap buffet before I threw it in with K high (10 kicker)...
Patrik put it all in with $101K..... |

not online at least, no way that happened online where he can't have any type of read on a player except betting patterns and such. This all looks like it happened but man, I can't beleive it. That is crazy...

100% true. Patrik confirmed it in an interview.
This is the life of nose-bleed poker players... |

At nosebleed stakes, you get to call the clock for several minutes on certain sites if you like...
Although FullTilt appears to make you call quicker than the average call in a casino for 100's of thousands of dollars |
