Kim Christensen Begins Day 2 of the Coolbet Open With a Huge Chip Lead Over the Field
Welcome to Day 2 of the Coolbet Open €550 Main Event at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Park Hotel located in the heart of the Estonian capital.
Players traveled from near and far to play in the Main Event with a combined 368 entrants joining the field on Day 1 with the Day 1a field attracting 104 entrants and the Day 1b field attracting 264 entrants. This figure will continue to grow as unlimited reentries are still allowed throughout the late registration period that will close after the first blind level is in the books today on Day 2.
A total of 151 players survived yesterday's action with Day 1b chip leader Kim Christensen from Denmark leading the way to start the day with a huge stack of 190,900 in chips. With 62 more surviving Day 1a, there are a total of 213 players advancing to Day 2 through opening flights.
Behind Christensen on the chip leaderboard are Day 1a chip leader Dmitri Zatsik in second place with 163,700 and Craig Timmis in third place with 152,600.
Day 2 of the Main Event will kick off at 12 p.m. local time with blinds at 500/1,000 and an ante of 100. Players will enjoy a deeper structure today with blind levels increasing every hour instead of every 45 minutes. Play is scheduled to play down until at least the money bubble breaks.

Berggren Eliminates Lund
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Already a bunch of players have been eliminated with some deciding to reenter. One player out of his seat is Asgeir Mogens Lund.
With about 30,000 in chips in the pot and the board reading 
, David Berggren bet 22,500. Lund was already all-in from action on previous streets.
Eduard Kruglov-Arutiunian, thought about it for a moment and called.
Berggren turned over 
, which was good for two-pair and more than good to send Lund to the rail who held 
and to put a dent in Kruglov-Artuniunian's stack after his cards were tossed into the muck.

Pause in the Action
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
