Fins Finished Off

Three players from Finland are no longer with us.

Heavy metal rocker Voitto Rintala became the latest casualty in today's field. Jason Mercier took him out and took over the chip lead. Rintala had a special bounty for the player who busted him -- a sleek black t-shirt featuring his band's logo. Mercier glady accepted the bounty and slung the t-shirt over his shoulder.

Jani Sointula is also busto. He's fourth on the All-Time Finland Money List but won't be adding more to his career totals. He'll have to wait until the PokerStars.com EPT Hungarian Open to get another shot.

Snoopy's model friend and fellow boy-toy, Patrik Antonius, joined his fellow Fins on the rail when he made a move and got his hand caught in the cookie jar.

In an odd observation, two of the Fins (Sointula and Rintala) have long hair while Patrik Antonius shaves his head.
