The Railbird Report: Jens Kyllönen Quits Poker

In a recent interview with Finish tabloid newspaper 'Iltalehti', Jens "Jeans89" Kyllönen has announced his retirement from poker. The Finnish superstar, who splashed on the scene with a win in the PokerStars EPT Copenhagen back in 2009 for over $1.1 million, is now studying Finance at the Hanken School of Economics in Vaasa, a city on the west coast of Finland.

"Life is, after all, quite short. It would be nice to try something else. It also one of the reasons why I decided to apply for the school" Kyllönen said, looking back on 10 years in poker.
