Rise and shine, fellow poker enthusiasts. It’s another sunny day in Tallinn, and it’s Day 3 of the 2026 Coolbet Open.
Yesterday’s live poker action did not disappoint; the atmosphere at Olympic Park Casino & Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel was electrifying, to say the least. Day 1a of the €550 Main Event was the highlight; 169 entries and €84,075 collected to the prize pool were respectable numbers. All signs point to today being even more action-packed.
Today’s schedule features both Day 1b and Day 1c of the Main Event. Day 1b will kick things off at 12:00, while 1c serves as the evening flight, commencing at 19:30. The presumptions are the same as yesterday; the goal for all contestants is to survive nine levels and find a Day 2 bag. That being said, late registration will be open during the first few levels of Day 2 as well. Nevertheless, a big turnout in today’s two flights is expected.
Intriguing side events on today’s menu include Event #16: €250 PLO4/5 Progressive Bounty. It’s an educated guess there’ll be a fair share of multiway pots when the players have five cards with bounties on the line. Speaking of five cards, Event #18: €200 Five Card Mix will announce “Shuffle up and deal” at 19:00. With button-rounds each of PLO5, Sviten, and Five-Card Triple Draw, this tournament will declare who is the ultimate five-card master of the 2026 Coolbet Open. Before that event, though, all Texas enthusiasts will lock horns in Event #17: €200 NLH, which starts at 16:00.
The last “regular” tournament on today’s schedule is Event #19: €200 NLH Leffern’s Hyper Turbo, set to begin at 20:00. Other than the aforementioned events, there are also two satellites on the schedule, as well as Event #15: €100 NLH Icelandic Private Tournament which, as the name indicates, is a private affair for all the players on-site who are playing under the Icelandic flag.
