Farewell Given by Lankinen
In the ongoing poker tournament at the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, Finland's Tommi Lankinen has been eliminated from the game. The tournament, which awards cash prizes, features Euros (€) as its currency.
The critical hand that led to Lankinen's elimination occurred when he moved all-in from the UTG position for 220,000. His hole cards were K♠J♥. The action folded around the table, reaching Gunnar Wedde in the Small Blind. Wedde chose to call Lankinen's bet, revealing his hole cards, A♠6♣.
The board played out as 2♠4♣A♣8♠9♥. Unfortunately for Lankinen, his kings and jacks were no match for Wedde's ace and six. Lankinen's chip stack was depleted to 0 at the time of elimination, while Wedde remains in the game with a substantial chip stack of 1,950,000.
Despite being eliminated, Lankinen walked away with a consolation prize of €5,250. The tournament continues with Gunnar Wedde as one of the remaining players.
