Ranno Sootla four-bet jammed sixes for about 40 big blinds and got called by Erik Lovgren with queens. The board ran blanks and Sootla is out near the money bubble despite being in the chip lead not so long ago.

"I thought I found a good spot," Sootla said to PokerNews. "I thought he was bluffing, apparently not. Maybe not the best move when we are seven spots away from the money."

Tobias Revenas began the day as the chip leader but was eliminated on the bubble. He jammed about 10 big blinds with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was called by Mikael Juhani Koistinen with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Koistenen paired the {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and Revenas was eliminated in 50th place after the {4-Spades} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

There was no hand for hand play as Vallo Maidla was eliminated at the same time. He was all-in with less than two big blinds with {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against the {7-Hearts}{2-Spades} held by Mathias Siljander in the small blind.

Maidla was safe after the {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} hit the flop. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn paired Siljander and the {4-Hearts} was unable to save Maidla from the bubble and he was eliminated in 49th place

The Coolbet Open €550 Main Event at Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Park Hotel has thus far been a huge success.

The tournament attracted 531 entrants, including 86 on the first level of Day 2, to create a huge €252,685 prize pool with a top prize of €60,100. Coolbet couldn't be more thrilled about the amazing turnout for its live event.

"A year ago, we hosted the very first Coolbet Open where we saw a prize pool of €206,125 and had 425 entries," said Coolbet CMO Ervin Jarvlepp." For this event, we hoped to at least match those figures. It seems that players appreciate what we've been doing as all our expectations have been exceeded with 521 entries a prize pool of €252,685!"

The day began with 211 hopefuls plus those that entered or re-entered on Day 2 battling it out. It wasn't until near the end of the day that the money bubble broke when the day's starting chip leader Tobias Revenas went out in 50th place and Vallo Maidla bowed out in 49th place before hand-for-hand play could even begin on the bubble. The remaining 48 players were each guaranteed a payout of €1,050.
