The very first Coolbet Open festival was a smashing success, considering the number of attendees which surpassed the organizers' expectations. The player field was 425, and this generated a huge prize pool worth €206,125. Additionally, the festival had 26 side events and one main event that altogether created an exciting 27-event schedule.
Hailing from Finland, Sebastian Wahl was the last man standing from a field of 425 players to claim the victory for the first-ever Coolbet €550 Main Event for €50,100. The event was held at Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park in Tallinn, Estonia.
Wahl will also receive as a special prize a Coolbet Open package worth €1,200 for the next festival in Tallinn, which is scheduled in October. Also, as the top winner he was given a Las Vegas package for two valued at €5,000! The special packages were generously added to the prizepool courtesy of Coolbet, to which they handed out to all the final table players.
According to the Hendonmob website, this most recent cash win of his is his biggest one so far. His first experience on the live setting was back on October 2012, where he also won 1st place at the € 220 + 30 No Limit Hold'em Raymond Poker Event in Helsinki for €17,028!
Overall, his current total live earnings is at $87,667.
