Welcome to Day 2 of the Coolbet Open Main Event
Welcome to Day 2 of the Coolbet Open �550 Main Event at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Park Hotel located in the heart of the Estonian capital of Tallinn.
The Main Event has proven to be an amazing success with a combined 445 entrants joining the field on the two opening flights with the Day 1a field attracting 130 entrants and the Day 1b field attracting 315 entrants. This figure will continue to grow and is expected to peek over 500 entrants as unlimited reentries are still allowed throughout the late registration period that will close after the first blind level is in the books today on Day 2.
A total of 148 players survived yesterday's action plus 63 more on Day 1a for a total of 211 advancing to Day 2 via opening flights. Day 1a chip leader Tobias Revenas from Sweden who bagged 293,500 leads the way to start the day with a huge stack of 293,500 with the Day 1b chip leader Tarvi Eller from Estonia being the only other player over 200,000 in chips with a Day 2 starting stack of 226,300.
The next biggest stacks to start the day belong to Toni Fagerstrom with 197,800, last Coolbet Open Main Event third place finisher Mathias Siljander with 190,100, and Henri Kasper with 189,500 with all three of these players advancing through yesterday's Day 1b field.
Here is a look at the top five chip counts heading into Day 2:
| Position | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
