Dewerdt, Suominen, and Laamanen Find Gold on Day 2 of OlyBet Showdown Tallinn Spring Mix

Posted on 13. May 2024

Sunday was another fun day at OlyBet Showdown Tallinn Spring Mix. While the sun was shining throughout the day and night, the action was heating up as well inside for the second day of the festival at the luxurious Olympic Park Casino.

The OlyBet Showdown Tallinn Spring Mix boasts 31 numbered events from May 12-19 highlighted by the €555 PLO 4&5 Spring Mix Main Event on May 15-18.

Three more champions were crowned in Jimmy Dewerdt, Erno Suominen, and Joonas Laamanen with two Finnish players in Sami Pullainen and Juhana Konttinen also shining thanks to two deep runs in separate events.

Check out the results from the second day of the 2024 OlyBet Showdown Tallinn Spring Mix at Olympic Park Casino.

Jimmy Dewerdt Wins the €150 NLH Deepstack Mystery Bounty

Event #2: €150 NLH Deepstack Mystery Bounty attracted 61 entries on its opening day on Saturday to create a €7,613 prize pool. The action was down to just seven hopefuls, each equally hungry to win the first multi-day trophy of the festival.

The official final table was a quick one lasting just about 100 minutes. Joonas Laamanen, Taaniel Jakobson, and Juhana Konttinen were the first to exit on the final day with Kare Halaamaa also appearing on the money list after losing his stack on the final hand of Day 1.

Greece’s Enea Subashi and Norway’s Tommy Brattskar were unable to parlay their big stacks overnight as they bowed out in third and fourth places respectively leaving just France’s Jimmy Dewerdt and Finland’s Sami Pullianen heads-up for the title.

Dewerdt, who has called Tallinn his home for a number of years, defeated Pullainen to win the title and the €1,250 top prize along with any mystery bounties collected along the way.

Erno Suominen Wins €250 HORSE

Event #5: €250 HORSE was a challenging nine-hour affair with mixed-game enthusiasts enjoying a rotation of limit games of hold’em, Omaha h/l eight or better, stud, stud h/l eight or better, and razz.

The event attracted a tidy field of 18 entries for a €3,802 prize pool with Finland’s Sami Pullianen joining the mix after finishing one player shy of a title in the two-day €150 Mystery Bounty. Pulliainen had a heck of a day and finished on the podium for a second straight event in the same day, this time with a third-place finish after Tobias Napel squeeked into the money with a fourth-place finish.

The heads-up battle lasted about 40 minutes before Finland’s Erno Suominen defeated country-mate Jani Halenius heads-up to win the title

Joonas Laamanen Wins the €150 NLH Progressive Bounty

Event #6: €150 NLH Progressive Bounty witnessed 41 entries generated €5,137 in prizes including €3,477 shared by the top five players from the prize pool and another €1,640 in progressive bounties on the line.

While Finland’s Sami Pullainen wound up entering the HORSE event after the conclusion of the Mystery Bounty, fellow Finn Juhana Konttinen opted to stick with two cards and managed his second cash of the day with a third-place performance after Ville Hakala and the popular local grinder Taago Tamm hit the rail in the money.

Finland’s Joonas Laamanen denied Estonia its first title of the festival after he defeated Vitali Rakov heads-up in route to victory with both players collecting the €1,010 top prize from the prize pool with Laamanen going home with a bit more thanks to winning the two big bounties at the end of the match.
