Coolbet Open October edition was a huge success. Besides the record breaking main event, there were also 30 action packed side events.
No Estonian made it to the final table of the main event, but they were showing much better results at side events. For example, Estonian poker pro Tarmo Tammel managed to win 2 side events. He started off by winning event #8, 330€ Deep Stack FreezeOut and followed that with a victory at event #20, the 110€ Deep Stack Special.
The biggest win in a side event at Coolbet Open was scooped up by the Dutch poker pro Sander Floris van Wesemael, who won event #25, the 1100€ high roller. He could take 15410€ home from Tallinn but this was not even his biggest win at Coolbet Open. At the last edition in may, Sander finished second in the Main Event and bagged €33,000.
Coolbet Ladies event had 42 players and the heads up battle between Linda Lahdenpää and Susana Lagerström was finally won by Linda.
Special mention to Katsuhiro Muto, who won event #13: Archie – Limit Triple Dram High/Low 165€, having never played Archie before. He is of course the first Japanese to win a side event at Coolbet Open. Furthermore, Muto also made the final table of the main event and finished at a very respectable 9th place.
You can see the results of all the side events below. Congratulations to all the winners!
