It seems as if Finland has coronavirus by the scruff of its neck with the latest reports showing a rate of eight new infections per 100,000 people over the past fortnight.

The reduction of cases has led to the country’s officials relaxing restraints, including allowing citizens of 12 different countries (who have gotten their shit together) to enter the country, and allowing their natives to go yonder.

Two people will not be shifting from their seats.

The inaugural Poker Masters Online Pot-Limit Omaha Series continued to paint beautiful storylines over partypoker’s canvass, and Jens Kyllonen and Eelis Parssinen have been the primary artists.

Kyllonen won two $10,000 events for a combined haul of $412,000, but he still trails Parssinen on the overall leaderboard by 68-points. Parssinen made the final table of four of the six events featured below, most notably winning the 44-entrant $25k event for $440,000, and finishing second to Kyllonen in one of those $10k events.

Aku Joentausta is another Finnish star who had a fabulous week in the Poker Masters making three final tables. Jonathan Depa also made three final tables.

As if the high stakes world didn’t have enough options on their smorgasbord of multi-table tournament (MTT) action Poker Central and partypoker cut the ribbon on the Poker Masters Pot-Limit Omaha Series on Sunday.

God’s day of rest saw 426-entrants hold amiable and crude conversations in the chat boxes of four shuttered virtual rooms, and there were a few names worthy of mention.

The biggest single purse went to Marcello Marigliano, who won the 72-entrant Event #1: $10,300 for $249,053.76. Gavin Cochrane finished runner-up in that one, and Cochrane also finished sixth in the $5k event. Norbert Szecsi also featured in two final tables, finishing third in both. Not to be outdone, Bengt Sonnert finished runner-up in two, losing out to Erik Dahlberg in the $1k, and Boris Angelov in the $530.

There was also a win for the former PocketFives World #1 Andras Nemeth. The Hungarian conquered a field of 81-entrants to win the $126,686.43 first prize in the $5k, beating the in-form, Viktor Blom, heads-up, for the title.
