Mattila Out Because He Couldn't Get a Massage
Level 5
: 150/300, 300 ante
There are two masseuses that are available during the Coolbet Open. Most of the seats are convenient to get a massage but not all.
Jussi Mattila, who recently entered the Main Event, was leaving the tournament area.
"I took a big bad beat with my seat draw and can't get a massage," said Mattila.
We asked for more information and he shared it was a bit more complex than just that. He first lost a huge pot getting it all-in with a gut-shot straight draw and a flush-draw 
on a 
board. Mattila wasn't able to complete either draw as blanks came on the turn and the river.
A short while later, Mattila got the rest of his stack in with 
preflop against an opponent holding 
. He was unable to get any help and lost the rest of his chips.
Mattila shared he is here to play and plans to get right back into the action.
"I hope to get a better seat and a massage," said Mattila with a smile.

Level 5
: 150/300, 300 ante
Gert Laanemets bet 3,900 with about 8,000 in the pot after the 
appeared on the flop.
Allan Rasmus Dyrstad three-bet to 10,000 before Henri Suominen four-bet jammed for 30,900.
Laanemets tanked for several minutes. He asked Drystad how much he had in his stack. Drystad gave him a better view of his chips and Laanemets went back into the tank before he folded.
Drystad wasted no time when the action was on him and snap called.
Allan Rasmus Dyrstad: 
Henri Souminen:
The table let out a collective gasp when they saw Dyrstad had middle set and Souminen held top two-pair. The came on the turn and the 
came on the river and Souminen grabbed his drink and left the tournament area for at least his first bullet.

: 150/300, 300 ante
Coolbet Founder Jan Svendsen entered the Main Event despite sharing that he couldn't play on Saturday's Day 2. We asked Svendsen why he entered if that was the case.
Svendsen shrugged before he smiled and shared: "I created the company you know."
Svendsen ran up his stack to around 60,000 before the break. However, right after the break he lost most of his stack.
He got it all-in with on a queen-high flop against an opponent with

Svendsen hung in there for a bit but his stack dwindled down to crumbs. He got the rest of his chips with 
against Björn Störmer, who also had a short-stack.
The Coolbet Founder was actually ahead with Störmer holding 
. However, a jack hit the flop and Svendsen was out the door after he blanked the turn and river.
