The fall edition of the Coolbet Open €550 Main Event has wrapped up. Norway’s Mats Albertsen outlasted a field of 489 entries to take down the tournament at Olympic Park Casino and earn €60,510 (US$69,665). The turnout was a nice increase over what was seen at the inaugural Coolbet Open Main Event, which was held this past May and attracted 425 entries. It also broke the casino’s record for the most players in an international poker tournament, which was set last November with the MPN Poker Tour and its 534 entries.

Heading into the final day of action, Nicolai Aubert, also from Norway, started in control of the chips. The second-place chip leader, Mathias Siljander, took control soon after play began and held on until close to the end of the tournament. The final table was set when Siljander took out Daniel Sandnes in tenth place, increasing his control of the chips to about one-third of the total in the process. Sandnes had to settle for $5,503 for his performance.

Down to the final nine, Katsuhiro Muto out of Japan would be the first to fall. He mixed it up against with Davis Modans holding A-K suited, but Modans found a little bit of luck with his A-10 to eliminate the Japanese player, who pocketed $5,503. Next to go would be Jari Hurri, who couldn’t find a match for his A-Q suited and lost to the pocket Jacks of Norwegian player Jonas Bølge Tveit.

Tveit scored another hit, sending Norway’s Eero Lehtinen to the rail. Lehtinen expected to pull off a big win with his A-4, but a K-Q combo held by Tveit found a match and his run was over.
