Kjartan Berger Jonsson

Kjartan Berger Jonsson is an Icelandic poker player who gained brief attention at the 2011 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Tallinn Main Event. While his overall live tournament results are scarce in major databases, he has demonstrated skill in high-pressure situations.

During Day 3 of the €4,000 buy-in EPT Tallinn Main Event, Jonsson was involved in two notable hands that showcased his use of the check-raise. In the first hand, Michael Graydon raised to 15,000 from the button and Jonsson called from the big blind. On a flop of unknown cards, Jonsson check-raised to 46,500, forcing Graydon to fold after he had bet 20,000.

Shortly after, Jonsson opened for 15,000 from the small blind and Rolands Norietis called in the big blind. On a flop of unknown cards, both players checked. The turn brought a check from Jonsson, a bet of 17,500 from Norietis, and a check-raise to 35,000 by Jonsson. Norietis called. On the river, Jonsson checked and snap-folded to a 42,000 bet from Norietis.

These hands, reported by PokerNews, highlight Jonsson's willingness to employ aggressive, strategic moves to apply pressure on opponents.

Based on the limited available hand histories, Jonsson appears to favor a check-raise tactic, particularly in heads-up pots. This suggests a balanced style that can switch between passive and aggressive lines depending on the board and opponent.

While Jonsson does not appear on the Iceland All Time Money List according to The Hendon Mob (top 237 ranked as of 2025), his participation in a major EPT event and the documentation of his play provide a small but meaningful record of an Icelandic player competing at a high level.
