Peltoniemi Soaring Early
Level 2
: 150/300, 0 ante
One of the biggest stacks early on belongs to Janne "Fructu" Peltoniemi.
While that name may not ring a bell, it's one to keep an eye on given the Finnish player's success here in the GGPoker bracelet events so far. Peltoniemi managed to make the final table of the $1,050 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty event early in the series.
While grinding with one of the shortest stacks for most of the late play down, Peltoniemi managed to continuously double up when he got short, usually with aces. He laddered past nearly every opponent until he was left heads up with Hun Wei Lee. Ultimately, Lee would beat him out for the bracelet as expected given their stacks, but the $64K score was still a handsome one for Peltoniemi.
