Helppi Busts the High Roller; Immediately Enters Event #54
Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi just busted Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha and hopped right into this event. Helppi has earned over $9 million in live poker tournaments and sits second on Finland’s all-time money list behind only Patrik Antonius.
Helppi’s World Series of Poker breakthrough came in 2019 when he claimed his first bracelet by winning the $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship for $306,622. Just one year later, he added a second piece of WSOP gold by taking down the 2020 WSOP Online GGPoker $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, topping a field of 328 for $290,286. A veteran of the WSOP since 2003, Helppi’s two bracelets cement his status as one of the most accomplished players ever to come out of Finland.
Though he is yet to register his first cash at the 2025 WSOP, he certainly is putting in the volume to perhaps make a deep run, and even go as far as getting his third bracelet.
