Sami Kelopuro

Sami Kelopuro and Chris Oliver are two stellar names that would not look out of place grinding in Las Vegas at the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP), but they have decided to stay away from Sin City to concentrate on playing online poker tournaments, at least for now.

It turned out to be a great decision on Jun. 16 as they both walked away with major titles from PokerStars events.
