Rasmus Eradicates Telezhkin
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Kirill Telezhkin limped in, as did Melanie Weisner, before Rasmus Nielsen made it 36,000 from the button. They both called and found themselves looking at an flop. Telezhkin shrugged and went all in, which got rid of Weisner pretty sharpish, but Nielsen made the call and it was the end of Telezhkin.
Telezhkin: for a pair of jacks
Nielsen: for a set of jacks
Turn and river: and respectively
Weisner said that she'd had pocket sevens, which could have got interesting if she'd made it past the flop. But either way, Telezhkin was gone, and Nielsen's stack was over 600,000 at the end of the hand. If he makes it all the way to Day 5, it'll be his third EPT final table.
