Finnish pro-players decided to have a team poker challenge. Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius challenged Sami “LarsLuzak” Kelopuro and Jani “KObyTAPOUT” Vilmunen for a huge heads-up match.

Antonius would face Kelopuro in NL Texas Hold’em.

And Sahamies would face Vilmunen in pot-limit Omaha challenge.

If they would tie there would be a third match to decide the winner played by Antonius and Vilmunen in pot-limit Omaha.

The first match with Ziigmund and KObyTAPOUT was a fast one. KO got into a small chiplead and then they put all their money to the middle on the flop Ziigmund leading 51% to KO:s 49%. KO hit his hand on the turn and Ziigmund headed to the rail.

LarsLuzak got the early lead in the second match against Antonius and managed to get half of Patriks chips hitting two pairs. Antonius obviously was making a huge check-raise bluff on the turn risking hald of his stack - only to find Kelopuro moving all-in on him.

After a while Kelopuro got his money in nicely in front holding KJ against Patriks K2.. but the flop brought 224 and Patrik doubled up. The final hand was again both of them holding king-high - Kelopuro KQ and Antonius K9.. only this time Antonius didn’t get the 9 he was looking for.

So KObyTAPOUT and LarsLuzak win the bragging rights (and nice amount of money surely…)
