After several raises, Priit Aavasalu got his stack of 26,000 in the middle preflop from under the gun, being at risk against Athalbjorn Jonsson in the hijack.
Priit Aavasalu: A♥K♦
Athalbjorn Jonsson: A♠A♦
The 10♠4♠8♣4♣ turn left Aavasalu drawing dead, and he quickly departed from the table as the 3♣ river rolled off.

Gert Laanemets under the gun and Pekka Laukkanen in the neighboring seat had created a pot of 11,000 when the dealer completed the 9♠K♦K♥3♠A♠ board. Laanemets fired a bet of 10,000, which Laukkanen verbally called before he showed A♣9♣.
Laanemets quickly tabled K♣Q♥ for trip kings, and Laukkanen took two blue T-5,000 chips from his stack to pay his opponent.

John Sara made it 800 to go in the hijack. Antti-Jussi Puotiniemi then three-bet to 2,000 on the button, and Sara called. Sara quickly check-called Puotiniemi's bets of 2,800 on the 4♣8♥A♣ flop and 3,300 on the 9♥ turn before the 9♠ hit the river.
Sara suddenly led out for a massive bet of 18,000. Puotiniemi was a bit surprised, but he quickly called. Sara did not want to show his bluff as he sent his cards into the muck, and Puotiniemi followed suit, dragging the large pot to soar above two starting stacks.

Last year, Anders Bjorkheim from Norway was the winner of the 2024 Coolbet Open Tallinn €550 Main Event at the Chesterfield Poker Club. The seventh edition of the live poker event by the local gaming company drew a field of 504 entries across two starting days. The €244,440 prize pool was split among the top 62 finishers, most of which were hailing from several Scandinavian countries.
Bjorkheim entered the final day eighth in chips out of 27 hopefuls with 30 big blinds and was responsible for the first three eliminations before capping off a strong performance by dispatching every single opponent on the final table to collect the €50,000 top prize. Despite his overwhelming lead during the late stages, the three-handed battle with eventual runner-up Keimo Suominen and third-placed Seyed Tabaei lasted for nearly four hours.

The players have been sent on their first of two 15-minute breaks.
Under the gun, Kai Tiainen checked the 7♣Q♣A♥10♥ turn over to Ove Hauge, who bet 3,000 into the pot of 4,000. Tiainen called to the 7♦ river, which he also checked.
Hauge quickly tossed in 6,300 chips. Tiainen sighed loudly, but ultimately decided he could not fold and called.
Hauge provided his neighbor with good news, tabling J♣10♣ for middle pair. Tiainen showed A♣Q♥ for aces and queens, taking down the sizable pot.
