Nikkinen Eliminates Two Players
Marjo Nikkinen just eliminated two of the short-stacked players on her table.
She opened to 1,600 from under the gun before Odd-Einar Ronningsgrind three-bet jammed for 6,200 from middle position. Joonas Helin from one seat over four-bet jammed for 8,000.
The action folded back around to Nikkinen who paused for 30 seconds before she called.
Marjo Nikkinen: 
Odd-Einar Ronningsgrind: 
Joonas Helin: 
Ronningsgrind got out of his seat and began walking away before the flop was dealt when he saw his opponents' hands. Helin sat tight to watch the action knowing he wasn't in the worst spot in the world.
Nikkinen's jacks held as the 
board ran blanks for both of her opponents and she successfully took out two players at once. Helin will likely be back in action as he immediately asked the dealer whether he could reenter at the table.
When he got his answer he promptly headed over to the tournament desk.
