12 June 2010 – RedKings Poker Team Pro Ramzi Jelassi showcased his awesome live poker talent yesterday by winning the Main Event of the 2010 Helsinki Midnight Sun in Finland.

The 2850€ buy-in tournament drew a field of 139 players with Jelassi taking down an impressive 117000€ first prize.

This was his fourth money finish after winning the IPT San Remo in August last year. With two EPT money finishes and two wins in the last 11 months the star of Swedish poker is finally achieving the results so many poker people in the know have been expecting for some time now.

Determined to win the famous Gnome which goes to the Midnight Sun winner chip leader Jelassi made a deal in the final stages to be declared the winner of the Tournament. Commented Jelassi, “I have played the Midnight Sun and Helsinki Freezeout quite a few times now and being part Finnish I just wanted to go home with the Gnome this time. It cost me some money but it’s like winning a WSOP bracelet in this part of the world so it was very important to me”

Commented RedKings Poker Director Michael Golembo, “ We are delighted for Ramzi with yet another fantastic win. He is such a great guy and as a poker player and ambassador for RedKings he is just outstanding. Everyone at RedKings congratulates him and we all look forward to seeing him in action again soon.
