Another Finn takes home millions - Eelis Pärssinen wins the Triton PLO Main Event

[Tero]

Eelis Pärssinen won the biggest score of his career - $2.27 Million.
The final table was filled with gruesome action with bad beats.

Sean Winter decided to double up after flopping a set as the short stack. Little did he know that there was another set against him. Fortune favored the Finn who also flopped a set and left Winter crippled with less than a blind.

Some hands later Espen Myrmo went all-in with a straight against Pärssinen only to find higher straight in his hand, and it's bye bye for Myrmo.

Then it's heads up against Dan Dvoress and the Finn started to add pressure, and more pressure. The rest is now history.

The 100k buy-in tournament had 87 participants.

The Triton Super High Roller Series braces itself at every festival for an invasion of Nordic players right before the PLO events begin. Nobody quite knows why the Finns in particular have such an affinity for the four-card game, short of wondering whether it’s on the curriculum in Finnish high...

Congrats Eelis Parssinen.

For a country only ranked 117th in population(source Google). You Finns the vast majority of you manage to be elite and/or very very good in just abot everything you compete in. And not just one or two guys in everything you compete in but the majority of Finns are very good to elite when they put their minds to something and dedicate them shelves to it.

I have competed in my online games, sims and things and I find the vast majority of the best to elite players in any game I've played are Finns. That's honestly pretty amazing. And most are pretty nice and humble about it despite how fierce you all compete in the moment. You Finns must be living right or maybe you're just wired different then the rest of us lol.

Cheers!!!

Bad weather and cold. So people stay at home and become good in strategy games.

Try to put that in a bottle 🤣🤣🤣

If you ever get it figured out and bottled I'm interested in being a lifetime customer or having a lifetime membership. As I'd actually would like to be able to not always finish 2nd when there's a Finn in my race . I laugh and joke about it but it's so true. Whenever I first load into a race lobby on Iracing the first thing I look too see is if there are any Finns in the race. And if there is most times everyone else is running for 2nd. It so common and happens so much everyone jokes about it in the lobby when there's a Finn in the race. or thanks god when there isn't .

Cheers!!!
