Svein Olav Eidsaeter, prodigy of Coolbet, managed to scoop the win during the debut of this event and took at least a €2,000 bounty on the way as well. He climbed up the ladder of the 'Player of the Series' ranking because of this great win. It would eventually become his second win of the week, as he also shipped the Win-The-Button event.
