We have a pretty strong community, we talk a lot of poker. That's the best way to improve in this game. These are tough, tough weeks. These guys are playing everything 12 hours a day. Have to respect these guys, grinding their ass off. Obviously it feels surreal. Playing here against the best players, with my best friends, I can't describe it.
Parssinen was already on top of the money list, with a small lead over American Dylan Weisman. Weisman bubbled, however, and Parssinen's career-best score has now put him well in front of the pack with more than $6.8 million.
The two-day tournament saw the top 14 players make the money from a field of 87 entries that sent the prize pool up to $8.7 million. The min-cash was worth $166,000.
The Finnish pro's career earnings now stand close to $9.4 million, the majority of which has come in events, including six of his seven tournament wins and bracelet.
