Tahvonen Ousted
Unibet Poker Ambassador Rauno "Estonian Jesus" Tahvonen was just eliminated after losing back to back hands.
In the first hand, a player limped from the small blind and Tahvonen called. Both players checked the 
flop before Tahvonen called a bet of 4,000 after the 
came on the turn.
Tahvonen's opponent fired out an overbet of 15,000 after the 
completed the board on the river. Tahvonen went into the tank and time was called on him. The countdown was down to four seconds before he made the call. Tahvonen held 
and lost half his stack after his opponent had a better pair with 
.
The next hand a player in the hijack raised before Tahvonen jammed for 20,000 from the small blind. His opponent called with ace-king which outmatched Tahvonen's ace-queen. The board ran all blanks and Tahvonen headed out of the tournament room.
After the hand, Tahvonen shared with PokerNews that he wasn't sure whether he would be playing more today. He noted that the Main Event was still early enough where he might hop in if he doesn't feel like waiting to play instead in tomorrow's Day 1b field.
