Sebastian Wahl has become a regular at Olympic Park Casino ever since he won the Coolbet Open in May 2018 for €50,100. He was relatively unheard of at the moment and shared with PokerNews at the time that right before his win was when he decided to become a poker pro.
In September he notched his biggest win to date after shipping the Fennia Grand Slam for €100,931.
Wahl didn't have much luck in February during the Kings of Tallinn Main Event as he entered after an all-night cash game session. He seems more alert today and has entered the PAPC Main Event.
"I am a little tired as I got up early to make sure I arrived in Tallinn by noon," shared Wahl.
Wahl was also asking on the break about whether the Main Event would be live streamed which we informed him would be the case during the final two days of action.
When Wahl learned that instead nosebleed cash games would be streamed he said: "Well that makes a lot of sense as the action should be good."

On the last hand before the break, Arto Loikkanen opened to 425. Jari Hurri jacked it up to 1,700 before another player four-bet to 3,800.
Loikkanen five-bet jammed for about 17,000 before Hurri six-bet jammed for what appeared to be near a starting stack. The other player got out of the way and the hand was set-up for a classic flip situation.
Arto Loikkanen:
Jari Hurri:
Hurri took the lead on the flip once the 
flop gave him two pair. The didn't improve Loikkanen's odds and the sealed his fate giving Hurri a full house.
After the hand the players went on a 15-minute break.
