I got to ante 8 on my first 2 runs and lost it at the bosses. I got to ante 8 again on my 4th run. But then I got tired of the randomness of the cards and the whole game loop. I still kept going in the hope that I'd get some good power-up that would drag me back into the game. Well, it didn't happen. The game is really good but I guess it's just not for me.

All that aside, the game has a very addictive loop. It's an excellent twist/addition over classical poker. I highly recommend trying it out.
