Finnish player Eelis Pärssinen became the winner of Event #47: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha. For first place he received $2,161,056 and claimed the second WSOP bracelet of his career.
In the heads-up against Levon Khachatryan, a single hand decided the tournament. On the river both players went all-in: Khachatryan showed a full house made on the flop, but Pärssinen revealed quads — also made on the flop. This cooler gave the Finn the chip lead, and half an hour later he closed out the tournament.
Pärssinen won his first bracelet in 2021 in the $5,000 Mixed NLHE/PLO. Known online under the nickname "EEE27", he has specialized in Pot-Limit Omaha for more than fifteen years. He called the second bracelet, in a PLO tournament with a $25,000 buy-in, "special."
