Coolbet Open (May 2022)

At the 2022 Coolbet Open, Karenius made headlines by flopping the nut flush against Silje Nielsen. In a hand covered by the tournament's live blog, he opened with A♠4♠ on the button and bet all three streets on a Q♠6♠2♣–3♦–J♠ board, tabled the flush, and earned a pot of 50,000 chips.

Battle of Malta (June 2023)

In the 2023 Battle of Malta main event, Karenius faced a three-way all-in scenario. Alvaro Da Silva opened, Alaa Ganem moved all-in, and Karenius called with A♣K♣. The board ran K♠J♦2♥T♥K♦, giving Ganem a straight on the turn, but the river king produced a split pot, leaving Karenius with 240,000 chips.

While no detailed strategy analysis is available from the search results, his live blog appearances suggest a willingness to commit chips with draws (e.g., nut flush draw) and to call all-ins with strong hands (e.g., ace-king). His play can be characterized as solid and capitalizing on favorable situations.

A separate individual named Kevin Karenius is listed as an ice hockey referee on the Finnish Mestis website. This is likely a different person and not related to the poker player.
