Bad Luck for "Ben"
Rauno "Ben" Tahvonen stepped into the limelight at the Unibet Open London, where he made a deep run and finished in sixth place. With his positive antics, the 26-year-old Estonian skateboard instructor - affectionally called the "Estonian Jesus" - quickly became a crowd favorite and had the Twitch chat rooting for him.
Here in Copenhagen, Tahvonen quickly found himself in an all-in situation against Zoltan Bozoki. Tahvonen had defended his big blind and check-raised to 2,100 on an ![]()

flop. Bozoki three-bet to 6,900 and called off his stack of 20,000 when Tahvonen shoved.

improved Bozoki to a flush, making the
river meaningless. Tahvonen was forced to fork over a sizable portion of his stack to his Hungarian adversary.
