Kaido Mikk wins the Coolbet Open Main Event

After an almost 5 hour long heads-up, the longest in the history of Coolbet Open, Kaido Mikk from Estonia became the winner of the fifth edition of Coolbet Open Main Event.

Mikk came from behind to beat Finn Mikko Ylämäki who started the heads-up with a healthy lead. But the battle for the title went back and forth many times and eventually the cards fell in the favour of the Estonian who won with a pair of fours against Ylämäki’s J7.

Besides the title and a nice trophy, Kaido Mikk also received €65,700 while Ylämäki had to settle for €42,800.

Kaido Mikk became the second Estonian to win Coolbet Open after Ott-Kaarli Toome won in November 2019. Coincidently, Mikk and Toome actually shared a flat back when the latter won the event and they have been studying poker together.

The €550 Coolbet Open Main Event had a total of 648 entries and created a massive prize pool of €311,040. This made the fifth edition the second biggest Coolbet Open Main Event, only bettered by the November 2019 event with 686 entries.

80 players made it to the money, including the legendary Finnish highstakes player Ilari Sahamies who finished as number 50.
