Lamagnere Wins the Pot After the Floor Called
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
France's Matthieu Lamagnere is one of the most successful poker players joining the early action of the Coolbet Open Main Event with nearly $500,000 in live tournament cashes.
Villem-Henrik Koitmaa limped and two others limped behind before Lamagnere jammed for what seemed to be more than 4,000. Koitmaa didn't realize his opponent was all in and put 50 chips into the pot after seeing some of the others call for two black 100 chips.
The dealer wasn't sure whether Koitmaa said "call" or not before he put in his bet. The entire table confirmed this was not the case and the floor was called. The floor ruled that Koitmaa either had to leave the 50 extra chips in the pot or call.
Koitmaa sighed with relief before he said with a smile that he would fold. The other two players folded behind and Lamagnere scooped a small pot.

Kongsgaard Gets Revenge Against Komissarov
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Jan Christian Kongsgaard was low on chips after what he shared was getting hit with a one outer by Anton Komissarov when his opponent hit a nine of the river with pocket nines and Kongsgaard also having a nine in his hand. Revenge was just served as Kongsgaard was able to win round two against Komissarov.
Komissarov opened from the cutoff to 600 and got a call from Kongsgaard in the big blind.
Kongsgaard check-raised a bet from 500 to 1,700 after the 
came on the flop and got a call from Komissarov.
"Nines again?" asked Kongsgaard referring to the hand where his opponent took a bunch of his chips.
Kongsgaard led out for 3,750 after the 
came on the turn and got a quick call from his opponent.
The 
completed the board on the river and the dealer initially thought Kongsgaard checked since he was shuffling some chips close to the table.
"No, no, I will bet," said Kongsgaard before he fired out for 7,225 leaving a single blue 5,000 chip behind.
"I want to give you some of your chips back," said Komissarov before he made the call.
Kongsgaard had 
for flopped trips and scooped the pot after Komissarov turned over 
for two pair.
"I had to play that hand to get revenge," said Kongsgaard to the table and to Coolbet Open's Thomas Pasgaard Hviid who caught the tail end of the hand from the rail.
