Poker Heaven Qualifier Storms to Victory in Helsinki

PokerHeaven.com player Juha-Rauno Lampila has won the the Helsinki Freezeout. Lampila managed to hold off a strong field of 200 players to take the title, a cheque for €160,825 and a place in the top 5 of the latest European Rankings.

After building a big stack early on, Lampila managed to stay with the chip leaders throughout the two day event, with the turning point arriving when the field had been reduced to the final 10 players. Fellow PokerHeaven.com qualifier Jarmo H�rm� moved all in under the gun for 80k, Antti Meril�inen called, and JR Lampila moved in for a total of 220k with pocket 10's. Meril�inen pondered the call for what seemed an eternity, but folded showing AK. The river brought an Ace meaning that had Meril�inen made the call, Lampila would have bowed out of the tournament in 9th place.

After claiming the biggest win of his career, an ecstatic Lampila added: 'This was a great victory. It was my second visit to the Helsinki Freezeout and after making the final table last year; to go on and win was a special moment. These events (including the Midnight Sun tournament) have been very good for me.'
