Arriving with the completed board of J♥5♥Q♥2♥10♠ already dealt, Maksim Belomestnoi fired a bet of 2,200 from the small blind into a pot of 9,800.
Jeremy Doll sat in the big blind and raised to 11,000, which sent Belomestnoi into a deep tank. After several minutes, Belomestnoi elected to muck his hand.
Doll could only laugh as he showed his opponent K♠6♠ for a stone-cold bluff and raked in the chips.

Bjorge Storflor had open-raised in the cutoff when Thomas Jakobsen three-bet to 2,200 on the button. Storflor clicked it back to 5,100, which Jakobsen called.
Storflor continued for 3,000 on the 4♥J♣3♣ flop. Jakobsen quickly called to the Q♥ turn, but he quickly relinquished the pot when Storflor moved in his last 10,000.

Artur Kulanurk opened the action with a raise to 800 under the gun. Knut Trulsen called in middle position, as did Rando Kleimann in the hijack.
Anthony Lesoismier-Geniaux then three-bet to 4,300. Kulanurk gave it some thought before he four-bet to 10,000. Trulsen and Kleimann got out of the way, and Lesoismier-Geniaux mucked his cards as well after a small tank.

In a relatively small pot of 3,500, Knut Gronli under the gun and cutoff Axel Hilmisson each put in 7,500 on the 7♠4♣9♥Q♠ turn. The 8♦ arrived on the river, and saw Gronli put Hilmisson all-in for his last 12,500.
Hilmisson did not need long before he called off. Gronli tabled 9♦9♣ for a set of nines. Hilmisson tried to muck his cards, but he was forced to show K♣Q♦ for top pair as he took his exit.

Ragnar Bjarnason in the big blind, Kristof Raudsepp under the gun, Bjorge Storflor in the hijack, and Thomas Jakobsen in the cutoff had each put in 1,100 preflop when the Q♥10♠9♣ flop hit the table.
It checked to Storflor, whose bet of 2,600 was called only by Jakobsen. Storflor sized up to 3,200 on the 6♠ turn, again seeing Jakobsen call.
Storflor completed his triple barrel on the 10♥ river with a bet of 5,500. Jakobsen decided to forfeit the pot, mucking his cards and tapping the table.

Diego Rodriguez Cantillana limped in from middle position. Sander Eentalu completed his small blind before last year's Coolbet Open Main Event winner Anders Bjorkheim raised to 1,200 in the big blind.
Both Rodriguez and Eentalu called, and a flop of 8♥7♥J♠ was fanned. Eentalu checked to Bjorkheim, who continued for 1,300. Rodriguez made a quick fold, but Eentalu called to the 4♥ turn, where he led out for 2,500.
Bjorkheim called, and the 7♣ river completed the board. After Eentalu checked, Bjorkheim piled in a massive bet of 15,000.
Eentalu snap-called, but he tapped the table and mucked his cards when Bjorkheim showed J♣J♦ for the best possible full house, dragging the big pot shortly after sitting down.

In a three-bet pot worth 4,400, Erno Suominen bet 1,600 from the small blind on a 3♥10♥2♠ flop. Snorre Sund raised to 4,000 on the button, which Suominen called after some thought.
Both players quickly checked through the 4♠ turn, prompting Suominen to bet 8,000 on the 2♦ river. Sund called almost instantly, but he could not beat the 10♠10♣ of Suominen, who had flopped top set and rivered a full house.
"Would you have called an all-in?" Suominen asked after the hand. Sund answered that he would not have done so as Suominen stacked up his chips.
