Career
LarsLuzak, is a professional poker player represented by Poker Icons. He started on PAF, an online poker room belonging to the Ongame Network, where he made several deposits of €30 each and began playing $0.25/$0.50 and $0.50/$1.00 games. At the time he was just finishing high school, yet he devoted up to 10 hours a day playing online poker.
Six months after graduating high school, Kelopuro joined the Finnish Defence Forces for nine months.
During his service, he continued playing online poker and decided that he wanted to play poker professionally after completing his service. He was involved in some of the biggest poker hands at the time, experiencing daily swings up to a million dollars.
Despite shying away from the spotlight when he first became popular among railbirds, he started blogging at Coinflip, a poker website that he started with fellow Finnish poker pro Ilari Sahamies. When playing poker online, Kelopuro enjoys challenging himself by playing against some of the best poker players in the world.
During the past years he has started to show results also in live poker tournaments, for a total of more than $200,000 in winnings.
