First ever Finnish victory in EPT
Feb 22, 2009
It has taken a few years, but now the Finnish can lay claim to having an EPT champion in their midst. Jens Kyllonen was the lucky one who can now claim to be the first ever winner of an EPT tournament from Finland.
In the past they have won some small tournaments in mainly tournaments staged in Russia and the Baltic states, but now the EPT Copenhagen fell victim to Jens.
878.000 euro was his share and that was 300.000 more then second place finish paid for his heads up companion, Peter Hedlund.
Apart from the gap in prize money there was also a nice gap in age. Jens is only 190 years old while Peter is 40 years old.
Jonas Klausen was the first one to wave the table goodbye and he did that in hand 2 when his all in with 77 got called immediately by Peter Hedlund with his AA. They held up and Jonas was out after 2 hands.
Eric Larcheveque was next to go when his semi bluff with KQ got called by 2-2 of Rasmus Nielsen who found a sweet flop with 2-2-J.
Rasmus was out next however as he could not find any help in the important hands.
After 4 1-2 hours the final table was decided and that was one of the longest we had this year.
