Kippel Busts as Main Event Goes Hand for Hand

Frank Visser

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jaanus Kippel had committed his 80,000 chips on the button. Martin Rasch reshoved in the small blind, leaving the players to show down.

Jaanus Kippel: A♦J♠ All in
Martin Rasch: A♥K♥

Kippel flopped some extra outs on 8♣10♣7♦, but the 5♦ turn and 3♦ river brought him neither straight nor pair.

Kippel exited in 64th place, meaning that the remaining 63 players were redrawn across seven tables before the tournament continued hand for hand.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Johan Storakers had moved in his final 54,000 in the big blind, and Ranno Sootla looked him up in early position. Once all other tables had finished their hand, the two players showed down.

Johan Storakers: A♠8♣ All in
Ranno Sootla: K♠K♣

The 8♦9♣5♥ flop paired Storakers, but he received no further help on the 10♠ turn or Q♥ river. He was officially declared the bubble boy of the 2025 Coolbet Open Main Event, meaning the remaining 62 players had reached the money.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ott Jaakson open-shoved for 80,000 in middle position. It folded to Edd-Christian Gerhardsen in the cutoff, who also moved in, covering the rest of the table. The other players decided to fold as the players showed down heads up.

Ott Jaakson: A♦Q♠ All in
Edd-Christian Gerhardsen: A♠K♣

Gerhardsen's kicker remained in play on the 3♣7♠A♥8♦9♠ board, sending Jaakson to the rail. Some time earlier, Gunnar Leifsson was the first person to pick up the min-cash of €900.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Big blind Olli Merenheimo had gotten his remaining 50,000 in from the big blind against Ranno Sootla in the small blind, and was at risk.

Olli Merenheimo: K♥J♠ All in
Ranno Sootla: A♦9♦

Merenheimo paired on the 7♦3♠J♦ flop to take the lead. The 7♣ turn changed nothing, but the 5♦ river gave Sootla a flush to be declared the winner and knock Merenheimo out.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arne Da Silva-Aarskog open-raised his button when Mikko Harmaa shoved all in for 122,000 from the small blind. Hlynur Arnason debated a bit in the big blind before he called off for 120,000, prompting Da Silva-Aarskog to get out of the way.

Hlynur Arnason: 7♠7♥ All in
Mikko Harmaa: 10♥10♣

Arnason's sevens were in dire shape against the tens of Harmaa. The 2♥J♣5♠3♣J♦ board did not bring any changes, seeing Arnason exit the tournament.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Asgeir Lund had opened in the hijack when Arne Da Silva-Aarskog committed his last 60,000 on the button. It folded back to Lund, who made a quick call.

Arne Da Silva-Aarskog: 9♠9♣ All in
Asgeir Lund: A♣5♣

Da Silva-Aarskog had a sizable lead with his pair, but Lund flopped an ace on A♥3♦7♠ to reverse the situation.

Da Silva-Aarskog needed a nine to survive, but the deck had none in store on the K♥ turn and 5♦ river, eliminating him instead.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arriving on a A♦J♦K♣ flop, Ole Wasenius bet 16,000 into the pot of 67,000 on the button. Small blind Elisabeth Harestad then check-raised all in for 88,000, and Wasenius called after a small tank.

Ole Wasenius: A♣9♠ All in
Elisabeth Harestad: 10♦8♦

Harestad had a flush draw and a gutshot to work with, but neither came in on the 2♥3♣ runout, ending her Main Event run.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jussi Hautanen was all in preflop in late position, his stack of 35,000 being at risk against Artur Kulanurk under the gun.

Jussi Hautanen: A♣10♥ All in
Artur Kulanurk: K♥Q♥

Hautanen seemed to double his dire stack after the 9♠6♦8♣3♣ flop and turn remained clean, but the river brought the K♠ to pair up Kulanurk and send Hautanen to the rail.
