After a closely fought heads up with FullTilt pro Howard Lederer, Finnish player Jani Vilmunen (pictured) held his nerve and an overnight chip lead to take the WSOPE 2009 Event 3 $5000 PL Omaha Poker title and a cheque for £204,048.

Lederer 2nd, played well in a close ‘finish’ (sic), but will be disappointed not to add to his bracelet collection. Aarno Kiveli came in 3rd to make it two Fins in the top 3.
