Coolbet Open May 2019 started successfully. In Day 1A we saw 130 entries, which is an all-time high record. In May 2018 we witnessed 104 entries, followed by 117 entries in October. Tomorrow we start Day 1B at 13:00, so there’s still a chance to join the ride.
The star of the day is Tobias Revenäs from Sweden, ending the day with 293 500 in chips. He was the chip leader several times throughout the day and showed a great game straight from the beginning. Other top player of the first day are Brian Kobb from the UK (171 800), Estonia’s Ottomar Ladva (156 300), Finland’s Teemu Salminen (145 000) and Norway’s Espen Sandvik (137 000).

Maybe one of the biggest surprises came from Estonia’s Villem-Henrik Koitmaa For this professional ice hockey goalie, who just last week played for Estonia in the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship (Div I, Group B), it was the very first live poker tournament ever. During the game several fellow poker players helped him out with understanding some more technical rules but that did not stop Koitmaa from shining today. After taking out the legendary Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk, he landed on the 6th place with 118 000.
