Joni Liimatta From Finland Wins the Unibet Open Copenhagen for €70,514

The final day of the Unibet Open Copenhagen Main Event started at noon with still 16 players in contention. It didn’t take long to widdle that down to a final table of nine as even before the clock struck 4 it was down to just nine players.

After a long final table, Joni Liimatta from Finland from walked away a winner, going home with €70,514 and the Unibet Open trophy.

The final day took a total of 10 and a half hours to complete. Before some players had even taken their seats at noon, Tutku Halim Kara had already been eliminated. He was soon joined on the rail by Johan Goslings. The Dutchman, who bubbled the last event in Malta, ran sevens into nines and couldn’t come from behind.

After a little more than a half hour only 11 players remained. From there on out, though, things didn’t go as fast. From 11 to the final table of nine took several levels, with players opting to fold big hands, keeping pots small instead of applying pressure looking for confrontations.

Unibet Open regular Soren Blanner became the player to bubble the final table. He got it in with aces against sevens and saw a seven hit the turn. “Nein! Nein! Nein!” he shouted to no avail as the river was a brick. He collapsed and sat hanging on his chair for a good minute before he made his way to the payout desk to collect his check worth €6,259.
