The 3rd event of the WSOPE came down to a gruelling headsup battle between Jani Vilmunen and Howard Lederer.  Both players fought hard through the early rounds and at one point it looked like it would be an all Finnish finish.  Jani Vilmunen walked away with £204,048.  The poker tournament is heating up nicely for the WSOPE Main Event which will start tomorrow at 12.00pm.
