Eelis Parssinen is a Finnish poker player. In 2021, he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet.
Before his bracelet victory, Parssinen had a reputation as an online poker crusher, with victories in the Poker Masters PLO Seriesand European Poker Tour Online and several other major cashes on GGPoker and partypoker.
His bracelet came in Event #64: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em/Pot-Limit Omaha for $545,616.
“I don’t play these live tournaments too often. I wouldn’t consider myself as a live player,” Parssinen said. “I like to play live, but I mean, this is my fifth WSOP tournament ever, and there is so much luck involved.”
The Finn is a regular in the highest-stakes tournaments globally and, as of June 2026, has amassed more than $21 million in live tournament cashes.
At the 2026 WSOP, Parssinen won the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $2,161,056 and his second bracelet. A week later, Parssinen took down the $25,000 PotLimit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em mixed event for $1,172,296 and his third bracelet.
