The eccentric millionaire and high stakes player, Ossi Ketola
So far, little poker. The detail that transforms the story is that Ketola appeared dressed as SpongeBob, accompanied by friends and several bodyguards.
According to local reports, the Finn had provoked participants of the antifascist demonstration until the situation escalated. The result? A scene worthy of Geek Fridays: Ketola running with his huge yellow costume across the grass of a park while dozens of people chased him.
He finally managed to reach a vehicle with his companions and escape. But the adventure still had another level to unlock.
About 20 minutes later, special units of the Finnish police stopped the car and ordered its occupants to get out. On social media, it began to circulate that Ketola had been arrested, although later the police clarified that he was only temporarily detained to prevent further confrontations.

The protagonist was not too satisfied either and later criticized the police action during a stream.
Ketola, a unique character
Ketola is one of the most distinctive characters in the current high stakes ecosystem. He founded CSGOEmpire at a very young age and later launched the crypto casino Duel. In live tournaments, he has accumulated more than US$5 million in prizes, although estimates of his appearances in televised cash games point to losses exceeding US$21 million.
These days, “Monarch” will participate in the US$200K Triton Invitational in Jeju, where he will be accompanied by none other than Patrik Antonius
After seeing him escape through Helsinki dressed as SpongeBob, any bad beat seems quite conventional.
