Estonian Jesus Does Not Survive the Day
Rauno Tahvonen, otherwise known as "Estonian Jesus" has just been eliminated from the Day 1 field. It doesn't appear he will re-enter today with 20 minutes left on the blind level but might opt to do so tomorrow before Day 2 begins.
With about 16,000 in chips to start the hand, Tahvonen opened with a min-raise of 1,200 from late position and got a call from Team OlyBet pros Carmen-Elina Vist and Dmitrijs Meless.
Vist bet 1,600 on the ![]()

rainbow flop. Meless folded before Tahvonen raised to 4,700 and Vist called.
Vist check-called an all-in bet from Tahvonen of around 10,000 when the
appeared on the turn. Tahvonen turned over ![]()
and needed help against Vist who held ![]()
for top pair.
A blank spiked the river and Tahvonen packed up his personal belongings for the day. Meless shared after the hand he folded ![]()
and would have had the straight on the turn if the action didn't chase him out of the pot before then.
