Level 9: 500/1,000 (1,000) Entries: 103/189 Klaus Witte bet 3,000 into a pot of 10,000 with the 5 K 7 dealt on the flop. Inga Jonsdottir jammed over Witte for 24,000. Witte went into the tank for a minute before he announced a call. Inga Jonsdottir: K 10 Klaus Witte: A 4 Jonsdottir held top pair when the chips went in, while Witte held a flush draw along with other possibilities to improve. While the flush draw didn&#8217;t get there, Witte managed to win the hand anyway to felt Jonsdottir after the 6 turn and the 3 river gave Witte a runner-runner straight. Klaus Witte &#8211; 90,000 Inga Jonsdottir &#8211; 0

Top Pair Doesn&#8217;t Hold for Jonsdottir

Level 8 is in the books and we&#8217;re at the 3rd and final break of the day. With the players outside we had some time to glance over the largest stacks at the tables: <figure class="wp-block-table is-style-stripes"><table><thead><tr><th class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Player</th><th class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Chips</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Ranno Sootla</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">150,000</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Marko Vest</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">140,000</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Are Tengelsen</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">135,000</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Kristo Tiits</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">130,000</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Davy Wathne</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">125,000</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Mati Pirn</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">120,000</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">Kalle Ly</td><td class="has-text-align-left" data-align="left">115,000</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Level 8: 400 / 800 – Entries: 112 / 185 <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-medium"><a href="https://www.pokerlistings.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Coolbet-Open-ME-Day-1a-21-Kristo-Erala-by-Elena-Kask-300x200.jpg" data-lightbox="https://www.pokerlistings.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Coolbet-Open-ME-Day-1a-21-Kristo-Erala-by-Elena-Kask-300x200.jpg"><img src="https://www.pokerlistings.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Coolbet-Open-ME-Day-1a-21-Kristo-Erala-by-Elena-Kask-300x200.jpg" alt="Kristo Erala" class="lightbox__image"/></a><figcaption>Kristo Erala</figcaption></figure></div> Talk about tough setups! At table 9 the Finnish player Jari Lahtinen just lost more than half his stack against Kristo Erala with a set against a flush. We came to hand on the turn with the board reading K 10 5 4 and with roughly 4k chips in the middle. Erala bet 2.2k and behind him Lahtinen quickly raised to 5.2k. Erala called and both players saw the 6 peel off on the river. Erala checked to the raiser and Lahtinen asked for a count of Erala&#8217;s stack. It was roughly 30k. The Fin quickly bet half of that, only for Erala to come over the top and move all-in. Lahtinen was not happy with that all-in, but eventually called. Kristo Erala: A Q Jari Lahtinen: 4 4 With the nut flush Kristo Erala doubled up and Lahtinen lost most of his stack. The entire table will be moved downstairs in a bit and function as the TV table for the rest of the evening. Kristo Erala: 64,000 Jari Lahtinen: 22,000

Erala doubles up With Flush Over Set

Level 8: 400/800 (800) Entries: 114/183 Oystein Brenden opened for 1,800 from early position and was called by Jussi Mattila from the cutoff, Daniel Axelsson from the small blind and Davy Wathne from the big blind. Axelsson checked the jack-high flop before Wathne bet 4,000. Brenden called, Mattila folded, and Axelsson called bringing three players to witness the 3 turn. Axelsson and Wathne checked before Brenden bet 11,000. Axelsson folded and Wathne called. Both players checked after the 5 river completed the board. Wathne showed K J for top pair which was good enough to win the hand with Brenden mucking his cards. Davy Wathne &#8211; 120,000 Oystein Brenden &#8211; 80,000
