2024 Coolbet Poker Open
Tanel Merida shipped his last 18 or so big blinds into the middle with the A♦2♣ and was looked up by Esko Brandt, who held the 9♠9♥.
The pocket pair stayed ahead throughout the Q♠10♣6♣7♦7♣ runout and that spelled the end for Merida.
Also no longer in contention are Marko Hynynen, Andres Vilhjalmsson, and Joni Väistö.
On the tail end of a A♣5♦5♠2♣A♠ board, Birgir Ellingsen checked out of the small blind. Ole Roulund bet 60,000 in the cutoff and was snap-called to show the 8♣7♣ for a bluff with a missed flush draw. Ellingsen won the pot with the A♥10♣ and Roulund was left with a mere 13 blinds.
Table 12 currently features two open seats, six players from Estonia and one from Denmark. Kasper Wurtz is hanging in there but several local contenders have a ton of chips at their disposal.
One of them is Andre Mägi, who had just dispatched Miko Mannisto from Finland. The latter jammed the A♣K♥6♠5♣ turn with A♠6♦ only to get snapped off by Mägi with the A♦K♣ for the top two pair. No miracle came with the 2♥ river to send Mannisto out.
Level: 14
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Hans Winther raised to 10,000 and Mika Paasonen then three-bet jammed for 66,000 out of the big blind.
The start of day chip leader sighed and went into the tank. "Anyone but you," he said but eventually called anyways.
Mika Paasonen: A♠J♥
Hans Winther: A♥Q♥
The superior kicker reigned supreme on the K♣9♣6♠3♠Q♣ board for Paasonen to bust. Winther had been struggling as of lately but bounced back to an average stack.
Joni Väistö raised to 8,000 and Keimo Suominen pushed all-in for 45,000 out of the big blind.
While his opponent was in the tank, Suominen said "you can fold".
Väistö grimaced and said "that's an option" but sigh-called half a minute later.
Keimo Suominen: A♦A♥
Joni Väistö: Q♦10♦
The J♠6♠4♥ flop was quite safe for Suominen while the 9♦ turn suddenly gave his opponent several outs. However, the "lucky sixes" of Suominen - he had earlier doubled via two outer with them - appeared also with the 6♣ river to secure his double.
Rolf Woods raised to 8,500 and then called the three-bet shove by Mateusz Jablonski for 50,500.
Mateusz Jablonski: 8♠8♦
Rolf Woods: A♥K♣
The winner of the Warm-Up remained ahead all the way on the 9♥7♥5♠9♦J♣ board to stay in contention. At almost the same time, Ranno Sootla busted and headed out of the tournament area.
