Exciting Final Day of the Coolbet Open Main Event as 39 Hopeful Battle for the Title
Welcome to the final day of the inaugural Coolbet Open €550 Main Event at the Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Park Hotel.
The field has whittled down from 425 entries from the two opening days and the start of Day 2 to just 39 players to start the day. The remaining field will battle it out until a winner is crowned as the first-ever Coolbet Open champion and walk away with a massive €50,100 payday.
In addition to the huge first-place prize and the trophy, Coolbet is adding a Las Vegas trip for two valued at €5,000 and a Coolbet Open package valued at €1,200 to the winner as a part of the €30,000 in prizes the festival organizers added in value on top of the prize pool.
