Welcome Back Luzak: Kelopuro returns

Kelopuro: Reloaded and ready for action.

For most of 2008, relatively little had been seen or heard from infamous high-stakes online action hound Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro.

A brief appearance on the Microgaming network in Feb.; some unconfirmed speculation by Tom "durrrr" Dwan that he had played a session on Peter Jepsen's account in early Sept.; an event or two at this year's WSOPE.

By and large though, there was little sign the legendary Kelopuro - after a downturn last year busted his FTP account and a lack of action in high-limit ring games discouraged him from reloading - had any intention of getting back in the online mix.

No one, however, seems to be able to resist the action at FTP's $500/$1,000 RailHeaven table.

Yesterday saw the reclusive Finn's long-awaited return to the FTP tables as he logged on for a taste of RailHeaven and a little bit of $200/$400 NLHE/PLO on the side.

Unfortunately for him, he stepped back to the tables in ominous fashion - on the losing end of the second biggest pot online this week, a $428k crushing by David Benyamine who just happened to turn aces full on him.

So it goes in high-stakes poker, however, and Luzak is likely unfazed - in fact, he's already returned for more today, sitting at RailHeaven as we speak with the likes of Phil Ivey, aejones and more. Rail the action right here.
