When Coolbet Open was played last year at Banco Casino in Bratislava, Zuzana Mikulikova - also better known as Zuz - was the Tournament Director as part of her job at the casino.

With more than 20 events, prize pools of over €650.000 and +3000 unique entries, it was a very busy week at Banco Casino. But thanks to Zuz and her team, the event went really well. 

She has recently left Banco Casino to focus on her studies but that does not mean that she will forget all about poker. Coolbet Open is very proud to announce that Zuz has agreed to become the Tournament Director for this year’s edition of Coolbet Open which will be played during 26 August to 1 September in Tallinn! 

It will be a new challenge for her in Tallinn with a new team at the Chesterfield Poker Club. She is still very much looking forward to the opportunity, meeting the Coolbet players again and coming to Tallinn. 

Coolbet Open: Why did you say yes to become the Tournament Director for Coolbet Open?

Zuz: Last year, I had the pleasure of working with the Coolbet team for the Coolbet Open in Bratislava, and it was one of the most fulfilling projects I've ever had a chance to be a part of. I thrive on new challenges, and when the opportunity arose to step into the role of Tournament Director for Coolbet Open, I couldn't pass it up. The spirit and teamwork we fostered last year laid a solid foundation, and I'm excited to continue that journey together.

Coolbet Open: Last year it looked like you liked Coolbear a lot, was it also a reason why you said yes?

Zuz: Definitely! It is such a huge part of the Coolbet foundation. Everybody loves the bear!

Coolbet Open: We are back in Tallinn. How much do you know about Tallinn and Estonia?

Zuz: I'll admit, my knowledge of Tallinn and Estonia is somewhat limited. However, that's also why I'm eager to dive into this project. I have a profound appreciation for history and architecture, particularly in Europe. I'm excited for the opportunity to immerse myself in Estonia's culture and explore its wonders.

Coolbet Open: What can the players expect from this edition of Coolbet Open regarding the schedule? Anything you would like to bring with you from Bratislava and Banco Casino to Tallinn and Chesterfield? 

Zuz: Players can expect an exciting lineup of poker events at Coolbet Open, tailored to satisfy all poker enthusiasts. I'm known for my attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everyone's satisfaction. Rest assured, we're diligently working on the schedule, which will be unveiled soon. Personally, I aim to cultivate an unique atmosphere, essential for enhancing the experience for players and all involved.

 

Zuzana Mikulikova will come to Tallinn at the end of May to put the final touches to the Coolbet Open schedule and meet the team from Chesterfield Poker Club. She will also attend the second edition of Coolbet Live which is a €150 tournament played monthly at Chesterfield.
