Berggren Doubles First Hand Off Break

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David Berggren jammed for 47,500 from under the gun. Erik Lovgren asked how much before he made the call from one seat over.

The rest of the table folded and Berggren turned over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and was flipping against the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} held by Lovgren.

Berggren got out of his seat and appeared ready to head out the door after his opponent paired the {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Tides quickly changed after the {7-Spades} came on the turn to give Berggren a set and his opponent drawing dead. The {6-Hearts} completed the board and Berggren found a double-up first hand off the break.

Hedlund Takes Out Hurri

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jari Hurri
Jari Hurri

Peter Hedlund is one of the most successful players still in the field with more than $1.1 million in career cashes. Jari Hurri and Hedlund were chatting it up for the past two hours but that time has come to an end.

Hedlund, who didn't look at his cards, completed the blinds from the small blind and Hurri checked behind from the big blind.

Hedlund checked after the {3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Spades} came on the flop. Hurri bet 5,000 and Hedlund, who by this time looked at his cards, shoved all his chips in the middle in a disorganized fashion and Hurri called for the about 125,000 left in his stack.

It was a bit of a cooler for Hurri as he held {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and was well behind the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} held by Hedlund. Hurri was officially eliminated after the {7-Diamonds} came on the turn and the {5-Diamonds} came on the river.

Hedlund seemed sincere when he apologized to Hurri for taking him out of the tournament as the two of them appeared to develop a new found friendship at the Coolbet Open.

Kanji Eliminates Lindroos

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The hand began with Johnny Lindroos opening to 8,500. Aleem Kanji, who fired four bullets in Day 2 alone, called before Jonas Nielsen jammed for 38,000.

Lindroos four-bet for 84,000 before Kanji opted to go all-in for around 300,000. Lindroos appeared to be in a little pain with making a decision and tanked for about five minutes before he folded.

Jonas Nielsen: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Aleem Kanji: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Nielsen needed some help in order to get a triple-up. The {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board wasn't able to provide him relief and he was ousted from the tournament.

Kasso Laasik is in the chip lead with 750,000 in chips with the help of just winning a hand against Jim Johan Lijendal.

Lassik bet 75,000 into a pot of a bit more with the {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} on the board. Lijendal went into the tank for about three minutes before he made the call.

Lassik turned over {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for trips and won the hand after Lijendal mucked.

"Oh come on," said Lassik to his opponent. "You can afford it. You just won a hand off me recently.

Coolbet Founder Jan Svendsen, who is also at the table had a different take.

"It looks like you can afford it more than him," said Svendsen referring to Lassik's big stack and Lijendal's below average one.

Morel Coolers Laansoo

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Virgo Laansoo was all-in for about 80,000 into a splashed pot of what appeared to be a bit more against Marius Morel after the {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} came on the flop.

Laansoo turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for trips and needed some help with Morel showing {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the full house. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Spades} on the river didn't help Laansoo and he was ousted from the tournament about 16 spots shy of the money.

After the hand, Sarah Dumbleton removed his chair from the table and announced that the action would be eight-handed for the rest of the day.
