Mickael "MunchenHB" Telker is ranked as one of the top ten online poker players in the world with over half a million in profits. He has yet to achieve similar success in the live world and WPT Amneville will not be his break-out tournament.
Telker had only just moved to his new table when he opens up with [Ax] [Jx] from the hijack making it 5,500 to play. The cutoff folds and Nesrine Kourdourli three-bets to 15,500. Telker decides to call and they see a flop of [7x] [6x] [6x]. Telker bets 28,000 and Kourdourli makes a small re-raise. Telker who started the hand with 260,000 moves all-in and Kourdourli snap-calls with pocket aces. The turn and brick offer no salvation for our online phenom and he was eliminated,
Kourdourli – 600,000
