Poker Masters Online PLO Series: Eelis Parssinen Wins The Purple Jacket

If you live in Finland, then you’re going to have to deal with the snow from November through to May. So, if you’re, Ellis Parssinen, you could do with a new fur jacket, not a purple one.

Luckily, for Parssinen, its June, and that allows him to slip those arms into the sleeves of his new purple jacket courtesy of his stunning performance at the Poker Masters Online Pot Limit Omaha Series on partypoker.

In the end, the battle for the title and purple jacket went right to the wire. Andras Nemeth and Jens Kyllonen both finished strongly with Nemeth picking up two wins, and Kyllonen picking up his third. Nemeth led until the penultimate event when Parssinen finished runner-up to Chance Kornuth to beat Nemeth by a single point.

The series hasn’t ended.

The two-day Main Event ends today, with Isaac Haxton leading, but nobody at the final table can surpass Parssinen at the top.
