Randma and Valisson Sent to Exit

Frank Visser

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

Ronald Randma open-shoved for 46,000 in late position. It folded to Paul Groven in the big blind, who made a quick call.

Ronald Randma: A♥8♠ All in
Paul Groven: A♠J♥

Randma was hoping for a chop after the 5♣K♣K♥ flop paired, but neither the 6♦ turn nor 9♠ river saved him from his demise.

At another table, Taavi Valisson was also eliminated, leaving the field two away from the money.

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

Jonny Raninen checked the J♥9♣4♥ flop over to Knut Gronli, who bet 30,000 into the pot of 70,000. Raninen called, after which both players checked the A♠ turn.

Raninen then led out for 40,000 on the 4♠ river. Gronli weighed his options for a while before he assembled a call and slid it over the line.

Raninen tabled A♥J♠ for two pair, besting the A♣Q♣ of Gronli, who admitted defeat by tapping the table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jonny Raninen	620,000 145,000	145,000
Knut Gronli	275,000 115,000	115,000

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

Picking up the action on the A♣9♣6♣ flop with 42,000 in the middle, Esa Turpeinen fired a bet, and Asgeir Lund raised all in. Turpeinen quickly called off his stack of 240,000, and the players showed down.

Esa Turpeinen: 6♠6♦ All in
Asgeir Lund: 10♣7♣

Lund was in the lead with a flopped flush, but Turpeinen's set became a full house on the 9♦ turn. Lund still had a straight flush out, but it did not arrive on the A♦ river as he doubled up his neighbor.

Player	Chips	Progress
Asgeir Lund	1,200,000 200,000	200,000

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.
