Greetings from cold Helsinki. Next stop for the Team RedKings members, Helsinki Freezeout 2009. The buy in for the tournament is €2.850 with an expected 220 players participating. This is one of the most known live poker tournaments in Finland. Team RedKings will have 3 members participating, our very own Finnish Champion Toni Ojala and 2 qualifiers who both have good experience on live tournaments Jorma Nuutinen and Jani Toiminen.

Toni Ojala has some good memories from the famous Fennia poker room in the Helsinki Grand Casino. Last time when he played there, he was crowned the Finnish champion and claimed a huge prize winnings of over €130.000. I talked to him prior to the start of the tournament which will be in less than 30 minutes, and he was feeling very confident. He and Jorma have a plan to meet each other in the heads up. I am sure that Jani will also have his say in there as will the other over 200 players.

RedKings will be reporting today live from the tournament where we will follow closely on our Team RedKings members, providing chip counts, player interviews and photos.

Dont miss the action as next year it might be you..
