Drawmaha Festival About to Begin

Jaxon

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

The Drawmaha Festival is a new addition to the Coolbet Open. The €220 Drawmaha Championship is about to begin. Players from Sweden, Norway, and all around Europe have been anxiously waiting to compete in what they refer to as Sviten Special.

Drawmaha or Sviten Special is a unique game with tons of action as it combines both five-card pot-limit Omaha and five-card draw in the same hand.

Players are dealt five cards and there is a round of betting. A flop is a dealt and another round of betting takes place. Any players remaining in the hand at this point can draw zero to five cards. If one card is requested it is face-up for everyone to see. The player has a choice whether to keep it or request a new card face down. Otherwise, all exchanged cards are face down.

A turn is dealt followed by a round of betting before the final bets take place after the river is dealt. Half the pot is awarded to the best five card draw hand while the other half of the pot is awarded to the best five-card Omaha hand.

Joel Lindpere and Anders Karlsen are Back

Jaxon

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Coolbet Ambassador Joel Lindpere is back in action after an unsuccessful first bullet in yesterday's Day 1a field.

While he is better known as the best footballer to come out of Estonia having played for years on the national team and for the New York Red Bulls and Chicago Fire, he is more than adept at the poker tables as well.

He has two five-figure cashes including a runner-up performance in the 2016 Estonian Championships €300 Main Event for €11,900.

Also back in action after an unsuccessful Day 1a is Coolbet COO Anders Karlsen.
