May 2022
After a more than 2 year hiatus due to the Corona pandemic, Coolbet Open returned in May 2022 for the fifth edition. The event was another big success with 648 entries in the Main Event, generating a prize pool of more than €310k.
Kaido Mikk became the second Estonian to win the Main Event after he beat Mikko Ylämäki from Finland heads-up. The Finn had a healthy lead at the start of the heads-up but Mikk managed to turn it around after an almost 5 hour long battle between the two. He took home €65,700 while Ylämäki had to settle for €42.800.
The final table was a very international affair with players from no more than 6 different countries, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, Norway, Iceland and Sweden.
