Berg Picks a Bad Time to Bluff and is Out (and In) Again

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante

Thomas Berg reentered and was moved to a new table. His next bullet didn't last long.

Berg jammed for about 17,000 with about 20,000 in the pot on a {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs} board. Tommi Tapio wasted no time and made the call.

Thomas Berg: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Tommi Tapio: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Berg started laughing after the call and immediately took cash out of his pocket asking for a reentry before the {9-Spades} came on the turn to complete the hand.

Berg is back in the same seat and is visibly having a good time chatting away with others at his table.

At Least 350 Players in Today's Field

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

We don't have an exact count anymore as far as how big today's Day 1b field is yet, but it is safe to say that there are at least 350 entrants with 324 unique entries confirmed along with many players reentering.

The Weasel in the House

Sander van Wesemael

Dutch poker player Sander van Wesemael, affectionately known as simply "The Weasel" to his friends, has just late-entered the tournament. During the first Coolbet Open Main Event in May, he finished runner-up to Sebastian Wahl for €33,000.

While Van Wesemael was taking a seat an all-in and a call took place. Yngve Am three-bet jammed for 11,000 with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and was called by Geir Olav Flataker with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Am was slightly ahead in the race before the flop and held all the way through to the river with the {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} board running all blanks for his opponent.

Timmis Eliminates Gashkov with a Full House

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante
Craig Timmis
Craig Timmis

Craig Timmis was at the final table of the first Coolbet Open Main Event in May and is back in action today with a big stack after winning a package to this event for finishing in the top 10 spots.

Timmis with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} just called a three-bet jam from Dmitri Gashkov with {9-Spades}{8-Spades} of about 7,000 chips.

It was looking good for Gashkov after he paired the {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. It went from good to drawing dead after the {7-Spades} came on the turn to give Timmis a full house.

The {5-Spades} on the river gave Gashkov a straight but that was still not good enough to save his chips.

After the hand, Timmis was piling up what appeared to be approximately 95,000 in chips.
