Exciting Final Day Ahead at the Coolbet Open Main Event with 34 Remaining
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 521 entries from the two opening days and the start of Day 2 to just 34 players to start the day. The remaining field will battle it out until a winner is crowned as the third Coolbet Open champion in the festival's history and walk away with a massive €60,100 payday.
Finland's Johnny Lindroos is in the driver's seat to enter the final day with a huge stack of 1,241,000 and blinds starting off at 6,000/12,000 with an ante of 12,000. Close on his tail is Sweden's Erik Lövgren with 1,180,000 in chips.
Two players that finished on the podium at the last Coolbet Open Main Event are very much in contention with last Main Event's third-place finisher Mathias Siljander from Finland sitting on a fourth-place stack of 778,000 and Mats Albertsen from Norway looking for back to back wins starting the final day with a fifth-place stack of 674,000.
Also with a top-five stack to start the day is Finland's Teemu Salminen sitting in third place with 881,000.
Live commentary hosted by Brandon Allen will take place on the Olympic Park Casino stage starting after the first break.
