By playing the toughest online Pot-Limit Omaha games Jens ‘Jeans89’ Kyll\u00f6nen has built up a formidable reputation over the last five years.<\/h2>\n

Now, he showed that the live arena is not much of a challenge either and he did this in front of friends and family.<\/p>\n

In the ultra-tough $25k PLO Championship Kyll\u00f6nen outlasted 184 runners to eventually win $1,127,035.<\/p>\n

Online, the poker player already had earned over $5m in earnings but the bracelet was still missing for the Helsinki native.<\/p>\n

‘I can’t remember the last time I had this kind of rush’.<\/p>\n

‘It might have been back in 2011 when I won $1m in a day. That’s a similar feeling. Other than that, this is the biggest’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Lengthy Heads-up Tommy Le outlasted by Kyll\u00f6nen<\/h3>\n

One of the toughest fields of the entire 2016 WSOP was found at the $25k Championship drew.<\/p>\n

Here are a few names on the final table: Sean Winter, Tommy Le, Dan Smith, Ryan D’angelo and Robert Mizrachi.<\/p>\n

In a three-handed play it finally came down to Kyll\u00f6nen vs. Le. vs Smith.<\/p>\n

Smith eventually bowed out in third place after the lead was traded back-and-forth numerous times. Le mounted numerous comebacks in the two-hour heads up that followed between him and Kyll\u00f6nen.<\/p>\n

When Kyll\u00f6nen flopped quad aces against Le, he finally landed the crippling blow.<\/p>\n

‘I took much longer than I expected,’ Kyll\u00f6nen said.<\/p>\n

‘That’s kind of PLO when you are shallow. Situations change fast. Even if you play your best you can’t help it. You have to win the all-ins’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kyll\u00f6nen Cheered on By Amazon Room Full of Finnish Fans<\/h4>\n

The verbal Finnish rail cheered for the Finnish poker player throughout the final table.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘it was great, just perfect. I appreciate it a lot. I’m going to remember it forever’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That Kyll\u00f6nen won his first WSOP gold bracelet in the PLO was perhaps fitting after his long mastery of this game.<\/p>\n

Kyll\u00f6nen mulled it over for a moment after we asked him what drew him to the game.<\/p>\n

‘I guess there’s just more action. You can make more hands with four cards. Also, I think the weaker players have a better shot at winning in this game because it’s easier to get lucky.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For a PLO player online will always be more difficult than the live arena, Kyll\u00f6nen said this despite the tough final table.<\/p>\n

‘I do think that online I usually play against tougher opposition.’<\/p>\n

‘I think the biggest leuk of (live) PLO tournament players is that when you get into the 20-40bb range no one will 3-bet with anything other than aces. They fold a lot preflop. There’s a lot of fold equity to be had.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cancelled: Ticket to Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

At an upswing point in his career the Finnish poker player bought into the $1m buy-in One Drop and also purchased a ticket to go aboard of the Virgin Galactic into space. As one of the most consistent online earner of all-time he had no problems affording this all.<\/p>\n

‘I bought a ticket to space four years ago when I was playing really high-stakes.’<\/p>\n

‘I was swinging up and down hundreds of thousands of dollars. It cost like $200k so I was like \u2018OK, let\u2019s do this.\u2019’<\/p>\n

‘They haven\u2019t really shown much progress though and a few pilots have died. I could get the money back so I just decided, \u201cOK, this is maybe not the best idea\u201d and cancelled it.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the WSOP Kyll\u00f6nen interestingly enough only played the $25k PLO Championship so far.<\/p>\n

‘I’m gonna play this and the Main Event and this. I’ve been saving energy for the right tournaments’, he said.<\/p>\n
