During the break Mats Albertsen and Nicolai Aubert agreed to a deal.

Albertsen is guaranteed €53,510, while Aubert will walk away with at least €47,190.

The Norwegian duo are still playing for €7,000, the winner's trophy, and of course the honor of entering the Coolbet Open history books for becoming the second-ever Main Event champion.

Also of note is that both of the remaining players satellited into the event online via Coolbet Poker. There will be tons of satellites running for the next event scheduled during the second week of May.

Finland's Jari Hurri, who finished in ninth place for €5,910, also won a package a Coolbet Poker as well.

There will be no comeback for Mathias Siljander as he was just eliminated in third place for €26,700.

Mats Albertsen opened for 160,000 with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} from the button before Siljander jammed for 2,300,000 with {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} from the big blind.

Albertsen made the easy call and the {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} gave him the nut flush to win the hand.

There will be a small break while the action is being set-up for heads-up play.

First place is slated to win a whopping €64,600 while the runner-up will go home with a not so shabby €43,100.

Albertsen will enter the battle with an almost 2:1 chip advantage. Stay tuned at PokerNews to see who will win the second-ever Coolbet Open Main Event.

Mathias Siljander went from having the biggest stack to the shortest in a matter of minutes. He seemed to make a correct call in a huge pot but fate was not on his side.

Albertsen check-called a bet of 400,000 after the {5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds} came on the flop.

Siljander bet 1,200,000 after the {10-Diamonds} came on the turn. Albertsen opted to jam his 4,400,000 stack. Siljander went into the tank before he made the call.

The {J-Diamonds} completed the board on the river to give Albertsen a straight. Not only did the straight save his tournament life but it also pushed him into the chip lead with 10,000,000 in chips.

Meanwhile, Siljander was in third place after the hand with 2,300,000 in chips.
