During the 2025 Irish Poker Open €250 event, Petursson was involved in a key hand at Level 37 (500,000/1,000,000) with 8 players remaining. From the small blind, he moved all-in for 6,000,000 with K♣Q♠ and was called by Tyler Gordon holding A♦J♣. The board ran out 5♣3♣2♦J♠Q♦, giving Petursson a pair of queens to double up to roughly 14,000,000 chips.

Based on the limited hand history available, Petursson demonstrates an aggressive short-stack approach, willing to open-shove from the blinds to apply pressure. His tournament results suggest a preference for lower buy-in events with large fields, where deep runs require both patience and well-timed aggression. As an Icelandic professional, he represents the country’s growing presence in European poker.
