Melgalis Eliminates Tarmi

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Roope Tarmi
Roope Tarmi

Vegard Melgalis jammed his stack more than covering the 400,000 or so left in Roope Tarmi's stack with the {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} on the board and about 400,000 in the pot.

Tarmi tanked for a moment before he made the call. Melgalis turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and Tarmi seemingly frustrated tabled his {10-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The action is down to just 16 players with the final table beginning when its down to the final nine.

Snowmen No Good for Jokinen

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Matti Jokinen
Matti Jokinen

Eirik Lodoen opened from under the gun to 65,000 before Matti Jokinen three-bet jammed from one seat over for 530,000.

Lodoen snap-called and turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and was dominating the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} held by Jokinen.

The {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop provided some additional outs for a gutshot straight draw but that wasn't to come and Jokinen was eliminated in 18th place as the {5-Clubs} came on the turn followed by the {9-Hearts} on the river.

Silver Simulask
Silver Simulask

Silver Simulask was low on chips and jammed his short stack with {j-}{4-} from the small blind. Hassein Semnami called with {a-}{6-} and his hand held up after the {q-}{10-}{3-}{9-}{6-} ran out on the board.

The action is down to 18 players after the elimination of Simulask.

Witte Cracks Cowboys

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Klaus Witte
Klaus Witte

Johan Karlsson opened to 55,000 before Klaus Witte jammed for 512,000 from the button. Juha Helppi cold-called from the big blind and Witte folded.

Klaus Witte: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Juha Helppi: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Helppi was well ahead but Witte felt some life after the {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades} gave him a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. The straight draw was completed after the {q-Spades} came on the turn and Klaus improved to a flush after the {a-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Mattila Loses a Flip

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Jussi Mattila
Jussi Mattila

The tournament just lost Jussi Mattila. Eirik Lodoen opened for about 60,000 before Jussi Mattila jammed for about 350,000. Lodoen asked how much before he made the call.

Jussi Mattila: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Eirik Lodoen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

"I hate this," Mattila said after the {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} came on the flop to give his opponent a pair.

"Good game everyone," Mattila followed up with after the {4-Hearts} came on the turn.

Mattila was ousted in 21st place after the {4-Spades} on the river didn't help him get back into the hand.

Two Players Out to Lahtinen's Cowboys

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Coolbear
Coolbear

Two players were just eliminated on the feature table. Olli Ikonen committed his stack of over 400,000 in chips with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} while Kevin Pold held {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. They were both up against the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} held by Finnish slots streamer Jari Lahtinen.

The {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board was a good one for Lahtinen and a bad one for his opponents and the first two players were eliminated from the event.

Just after, Stig Rune Bjornli was out the door after his {q-}{q-} couldn't win a flip against the {a-}{k-} held by Tomas Sujeta.

Johan Karlsson Leads the Final 24 on the Final Day of the Coolbet Open Main Event

Johan Karlsson
Johan Karlsson

Welcome to the final day of the inaugural Coolbet Open €550 Main Event at the Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Park Hotel.

The field has trimmed down from a record breaking 686 entries from the two opening days and the start of Day 2 to just 24 players to start the day. The remaining field will battle it out until a winner is crowned as the fourth Coolbet Open champion in the festival's history and walk away with a massive €71,700 payday.

Sweden's Johan Karlsson leads the pack heading into the final day with a chip leading stack of 2,099,000. Just behind Karlsson, is Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi with 1,720,000 in chips. Helppi, who has almost $8 million in live tournament earnings, shipped his first WSOP bracelet over the summer and last year also found success in Tallinn by winning the King's of Tallinn Main Event.

Also in the top five in chip counts are Ott Karli Toome (third - 1,600,000), Tonis Viik (fourth - 1,470,000), and Eirik Lodoen (fifth - 1,460,000).

Defending Coolbet Open Main Event champion Mathias Siljander is still in the mix with 593,000 in chips. He will be shooting for a three-in-a-row final table streak as he also finished in third place in the previous Coolbet Open Main Event from his victory last time around.

Also still in the mix is Lithuania's Tomas Sujeta with a healthy stack of 1,297,000 going into tomorrow. Sujeta already has one big win this month after shipping the Malta Poker Festival Grand Event and is hoping to have a chance at a second big win.

Live commentary hosted by Kristjan Laas will take place on the Olympic Park Casino stage starting on a 30-minute delay at 12:30 p.m. EET.

Coverage will begin at noon EET with blinds at 10,000/20,000 and a big blind ante of 20,000 for the first 2:11 before increasing to 12,000/24,000 and a big blind ante of 24,000.
