Hometown Hero Ranno Sootla Among Big Stacks as Day 2 of 2025 Coolbet Open Kicks Off

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

As one of Estonia's most accomplished poker players, Ranno Sootla's cabinet is filled with trophies. Aside from being the only WSOP bracelet winner hailing from the Baltic country, Sootla has won no less than seven tournaments in his hometown of Tallinn. A Coolbet Open is not in his possession, however, and he will be looking to change that as the €550 Main Event of the 2025 edition heads into Day 2.

Out of the 169 players starting Day 2, Sootla sits 20th on the leaderboard with a healthy stack of 135,000, good for 90 big blinds when the tournament resumes at noon local time at the Chesterfield Poker Club. So far, the 422 entries across Day 1a and Day 1b have provided a prize pool of €200,450, but those numbers are not final as late registration and unlimited reentries will remain open for one full 60-minute level at the start of today.

Leading the returning players is Edd-Christian Gerhardsen from Norway. Gerhardsen collected 247,000 chips on Day 1a, 18 big blinds more than his nearest contender Jaanus Kippel. The top four in the counts all made their fortune on Day 1a, as Jonny Raninen and Anthony Lesoismier-Geniaux occupy third and fourth place, respectively. Day 1b chipleader Teppo Kurvinen, meanwhile, sits in fifth with a stack of 216,000.

2	Jaanus Kippel	Estonia	220,000	147

9	Mikko Harmaa	Finland	173,000	115
10	Knut Gronli	Norway	166,500	111

Returning champion Anders Bjorkheim still has a shot at back-to-back glory as he made Day 2 with a stack of 50,500. Scott Kenyon (106,000), Ylva Thorsrud (40,500), Steinn Karlsson (31,500), and Andre Magi (24,000) are among the other notable names who bagged for the second day.

Day 2 will kick off in Level 10: 1,000/1,500 (1,500). Players who enter during this level will receive the 30,000 starting stack, good for 20 big blinds. The latest anyone can enter is just before the first hand of Level 11, around 1:15 p.m. local time.

Day 2 is scheduled to play a maximum of 11 60-minute levels, although play may be stopped earlier if the tournament progresses quickly. A quick 30-minute dinner break will take place after Level 16, around 7:45 p.m.

Day 2 is where the Coolbet Open will get into the business end of things, bursting the bubble and playing down to the final few tables. PokerNews will be reporting the Main Event action live from Tallinn, so stay tuned to this page for continuous updates.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Diego Rodriguez Cantillana got his stack of 30,500 in from under the gun against Jaanus Kippel, who started the day second in chips and sat in the big blind.

Diego Rodriguez Cantillana: A♣K♠ All in
Jaanus Kippel: A♠3♦

Rodriguez paired his king on the 7♦J♥K♥ flop and locked up the pot on the 6♦ turn. The K♦ river gave him trips as a bonus, seeing him double up to a healthy stack of over 40 big blinds.

Rocket Starts for Tiainen and Kenyon

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Maikel Homin pushed in his last 11,500 from middle position. Kai Tiainen was the only interested party, and he called in the hijack.

Maikel Homin: A♣8♣ All in
Kai Tiainen: K♥K♦

The Q♦9♣10♥J♣ turn brought plenty of sweats, but the J♠ river bricked. Homin said his goodbyes as Tiainen continued chipping up at the start of Day 2.

Scott Kenyon was also at this table, and he was up over 40 big blinds since the start of play as he five-bet jammed his aces into the pocket kings of Maksim Petrov.
