Finland's Mikko Tiitinen emerged as the leader of the pack yesterday after bagging a huge stack of 245,000 in chips. Also in the top five were Estonia's Kaido Koorits (second - 213,500), Coolbet Open Main Event champion Mathias Siljander from Finland (third - 195,500), Sweden's Vishal Joshi (fourth - 182,200) and Norway's Lise Hoyforslett (fifth 178,000.
