Olympic Open Championship


Kristjan Rummel is an Estonian poker player. According to his statistics from the Olympic Poker Club, he has participated in 450 tournaments and amassed 13220 ranking points. Following his success at the Olympic Open Championship held in Tallinn last week, he can now also call himself a Texas Terminator.

We still don’t know what that means.

We do know that, in addition to a truly awe-inspiring title, he won €3,089 but the money somehow feels irrelevant.

We just need to know: what the hell is a Texas Terminator?

Last week’s entreaties have, sadly, yielded no satisfactory answers, but thank you to the punter who suggested it is George Bush’s evil twin. (Ed – George is the good one??) We do, however, realise that it is our duty to unearth these mysteries and vow to forego alcohol, sex, and sleep (Ed – highly appropriate order) until we have the answer.

Watch this space.

In slightly more boring news, here are the final results for the €1050 main event of the Championship.

Yadda, yadda.
