Ilari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies All-In on Fatherhood

A new poker player may soon be entering the world as Ilari Sahamies revealed via social media that girlfriend Elina Alanne is carrying his child.

A visit to the doctor by Alanne determined the gender of the baby, as Sahamies posted in Finnish that "there is apparent penis and testicles. It's a boy!"

Sahamies is well-known for mixing it up with the best of the best online, often favoring action at the Pot Limit Omaha nosebleed tables. His aggressive playing style typically involves a bit of trash-talking, and sometimes includes playing while under the influence.

Though known mostly for winning and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars online, Ziigmund has also had considerable success in live tournament action. The Hendon Mob lists his career earnings at over $1.6 million, with almost half of that ($773,68) won at the 2012 EPT €5,300 Main Event in Barcelona for a 2nd place finish.

Congratulations to the parents-in-waiting!
