From HighStakesDB.com:

Jens played throughout the day from early morning until close to midnight, taking several short breaks but putting in over 2600 hands across 73 tables ranging from $25/$50 up to $100/$200 PLO. 

It was his 2.5 hours spent at the $100/$200 PLO tables in the middle of the day which produced all of Jens winnings however and where he won his biggest pots.

Last month, Gambling911.com brought you the story on Kyllönen’s desire to become a civilian astronaut of sorts. 

Kyllönen recently offered up a mere $200,000 for his Virgin Galactic space journey. 

“Space has always fascinated me. The first opportunity to try out one of the first space flight, I took the opportunity,” Kyllönen said.
