The Kings of Tallinn, a renowned poker festival in Northern Europe, is gearing up for its milestone 10th annual event scheduled to take place from February 23 to March 3, 2024. Hosted at the Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel in Estonia’s capital, the festival promises an exhilarating experience with over 50 tournaments, including the Main Event boasting a guaranteed prize pool of €500,000 ($539,258).
Previous Success and Anticipation:
The festival, which saw a total prize pool of nearly €2.2 million in the previous edition, is set to build on its past success. Last year’s main tournament alone reached a significant €673,400, with winners such as Priit Parmasto and Adam Kharman securing substantial cash prizes. The upcoming Main Event, requiring a €1,100 buy-in and scheduled from March 1 to 5, aims to surpass previous benchmarks.
Ambitious Goals and Tournament Variety:
Christer Larsson, OlyBet Group Poker Director, expressed the festival’s ambition, stating, “The guaranteed prize pool is half a million euros, but we’re not just aiming to meet expectations – we’re on a mission to break our own record once again.” In addition to the Main Event, the festival will host various tournaments, including the Queens of Tallinn Special, a women-only tournament, the Estonian Independence Day tournament, and a celebrity event.
WSOP Circuit Event Partnership:
Notably, OlyBet recently inked a deal with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) and GGPoker to bring the WSOP Circuit event to Tallinn. Scheduled for this autumn, the event features a €1 million guaranteed main event and marks the WSOP’s inaugural appearance in Northern Europe.
As the Kings of Tallinn Poker Festival celebrates its 10th edition, poker enthusiasts can anticipate an extraordinary lineup of tournaments and thrilling competitions. With a history of impressive prize pools and notable winners, the festival continues to be a highlight in the Northern European poker calendar. The inclusion of the WSOP Circuit event further adds to the excitement, positioning Tallinn as a significant destination for poker enthusiasts seeking world-class tournaments.
