Patrik Antonius & Fedor Holz Become Models

Not content with retirement, Fedor Holz has joined premium clothing company Noetics as a Tournament Ambassador. Poker pro Patrik Antonius also joins as a Cash Game Ambassador which I think basically means, they are just both modelling the over-priced apparel.

Here’s Patrik Antonius in action modelling the Noëtics Long Sleeve in their latest advert.
