The Coolbear tried to sit down at a seat to play, but unfortunately, he failed to buy his ticket and will have to watch on the sidelines. Maybe Coolbear can make an appearance at the next Coolbet Open.</p>    <p>The tournament director recently announced that the plan for today is to play down to 2-3 tables. This means, that play should end around midnight with a dinner break also being inserted into today&#8217;s schedule at a later point in time.</p>

Sepponen raised from UTG and in the small blind Raymond Vilnes (12 big blinds) moved all-in. Marthe Lyngvar (who had roughly 15 big blinds) did the same in the big blind. Sepponen, who had both covered, called the all-in.

Meanwhile, Lyngvar was able to ladder up one spot to be awarded the 16th place prize of €2,450 while Vilnes had to settle for the 17th place prize of €2,100.</p>    <p>With that, we&#8217;re down to the final two tables and the seats are redrawn.</p>    <p>Eetu Sepponen &#8211; 1.2 million</p>    <p>Raymond Vilnes &#8211; 0</p>    <p>Marthe Lyngvar &#8211; 0</p>
