  • Jenny Westerlund Writes History after Winning the €1,500 Main Event during the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    The 2025 Wsop Circuit Tallinn has officially concluded. It was a live poker festival that will remembered for years to come for many different reasons. Featuring no less that 12 unique WSOP Circuit Ring Events, the €1,500 Main Event was the one tournament that was on everyone’s lips. With a €1,000,000 tournament guarantee, the hype before the event was unparalleled, and it’s safe to say it didn’t disappoint. Not only is there a new WSOP Circuit Main Event winner, but a new chapter has also been written in global poker history, as the first-ever female winner of a WSOP Circuit Event in Tallinn has now been crowned.

    Westerlund Claims Maiden WSOP Circuit Title

    Poker players from all across the world travelled to Tallinn, Estonia, to participate in what would prove to be one of the biggest ever live poker events in Northern Europe. The tables were set at the luxurious Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel, and with a tournament schedule packed to the absolute brim, there were events for everyone, no matter one’s preferred game and/or buy-in.

    What was always set to be the undisputed star of the show, however, was the €1,500 Main Event. The tournament boosted a €1,000,000 guarantee, and even though that’s an incomprehensibly large number, it would be shattered. The tournament registered 888 entries, which created a €1,138,860 prize pool. Not only was there the €200,200 first-place payout up top for the winner, but also an added $5,000 Ticket to Paradise (which includes a $2,700 tournament buy-in and hospitality during the 2025 WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas) and, most importantly, the coveted WSOP Circuit Ring.

    It was a three-day affair with five starting flights, and the top 138 players all were entitled to a €2,850 min-cash. After Day 3, 78 players had become nine, and these brave competitors all bagged their chips for the final table which was scheduled to be played on August 3, 12:00.

    Eventually, D-day came and the players took their seats. Leading the field going into the final table was Czech Martin Surovec, and right behind him was the only woman left standing in the tournament, Sweden’s Jenny Westerlund. Entering the tournament with the shortest stack was Karolis Kutkauskas. The Lithuanian had been the chip leader at one point during Day 3, but on the final stage, he resumed the competition with 17 Big Blinds. Eventually, he got it all in with JJ, and sadly for him, he got called by the AA of Finland’s Jari-Pekka Juhola. As such, Kutkauskas was the first one to bid farewell from the final table, receiving €14,200 for his ninth-place finish.

    The next one to hit the rail was the sole remaining Brit, Stephen Groom. All of his chips went in before the flop with AK, but the board did not help him crack the pocket kings of Surovec. For his feat, Groom was awarded €19,500.

    Jari-Pekka Juhola

    Juhola and Elias Vääräniemi were the two Finnish players left in the tournament, competing to claim a fourth Finnish WSOP Circuit Ring Event win during the festival. However, Juhola was the next player to be eliminated, as Estonian Igor Pihela Sr knocked him out in absolutely brutal fashion, hitting a two-outer on the turn. Juhola hit the payout desk to collect his €25,060 paycheck.

    One of the biggest story lines before the final table was the sunshine run of David Vinaya. Earlier during the festival, he had claimed victory in Ring Event #7: €5,000 NLH for €297,984, and he was arguably one of the most skillful players on the final table. It wouldn’t be back-to-back wins for the Norwegian, though, as he went out in sixth place for €33,100 after a decent call from Poland’s Krzysztof Chmielowski under pressure.

    David Vinaya

    Meanwhile, Vääräniemi was trying his best to keep the Finnish flag waving in the tournament, but some lost pots had taken their toll on his stack. Eventually, the math dictated that he needed to put it all in with pocket fours, and he lost the coin flip against Chmielowski. Vääräniemi bid farewell in fifth place for €46,000.

    Four players now remained, and it would take some time before Surovec would go out in fourth place for €62,500. He got it in good against Westerlund as his A10 dominated her A9 holdings, but Westerlund hit a nine on the flop and never looked back.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski

    Three left then, Pihela Sr being the shortest stack. During the very first hand of three-handed play, he put in a big three-bet after an initial open from Chmielowski. Westerlund then four-bet, trying to force Chmielowski to fold. Chmielowski wouldn’t have it, though, and he moved all in. Much to the rail’s surprise, Pihela Sr and Westerlund both made the call.

    The players turned over their cards, and Chmielowski’s QQ were up against the A6 of Pihela Sr, and the AJ of Westerlund. Everyone was full aware of the importance of this pot; all chips were in the middle, and if Chmielowski’s queens would be good after the runout, he would have a commanding chiplead. If Westerlund were able to suck out, she would be crowned the champion.

    The 293 brought eight additional outs to Westerlund. Then, she took a commanding lead as the A came on the turn. She could now taste victory, and Chmielowski was looking for the case Q on the river to stay alive. Much to Westerlund’s delight, the dealer turned over the 5, and just like that, it was all over. Pihela Sr got €90,200 for his third-place finish, while runner-up Chmielowski was awarded €128,500.

    With her win, Westerlund becomes one of the first women ever to win a WSOP Circuit Main Event; she joins the company of such as Jessica Vierling (winner of the 2024 WSOP Circuit Los Angeles $1,700 Main Event). It’s the biggest-ever cash for the former poker dealer, and without any doubt, her joyful celebration together with her rail will be a moment they all will cherish forever.

    That concludes the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. It truly was one for the ages, and the 12 WSOP Circuit Rings have now all found their new owners. While the action in Tallinn may be over, the circuit doesn’t stop. In fact, the 2025 WSOP Circuit Bratislava started on August 1, and after August 12, another WSOP Circuit Main Event champion will be crowned.

    During the first hand of three-handed play, Krzysztof Chmielowski opened to 600,000 UTG. Within a split second, Igor Pihela Sr then three-bet to 4,200,000. Now, the action was on Jenny Westerlund. The Swedish chip leader decided to four-bet to 10,000,000. Chmielowski took an extra peak on his cards, went into the tank for a minute or two, before moving all in himself for 14,000,000 in total. Pihela Sr committed his last 1,100,000 for the call, and Westerlund called for an additional 4,000,000.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: QQ
    Igor Pihela Sr: A6
    Jenny Westerlund: AJ

    All the tournament chips were now in the middle. Westerlund had both of her opponents at risk, while Chmielowski would be a huge chip leader if his queens were to hold. It was time for the flop.

    There were all diamonds on the 293, giving Westerlund an additional eight outs. The turn wasn’t a diamond, but the A turn was enough to put Westerlund in a very solid lead. Chmielowski was now drawing to one out on the river, the Q. It was the 5 that finished the board, though, and such, Pihela Sr and Chmielowski both were eliminated in the same hand. Since Chmielowski had the superior stack, he got the €128,500 second-place payout, while Pihela Sr got €90,200 for his third-place finish.

    Jenny Westerlund: 44,000,000

    Martin Surovec: A10
    Jenny Westerlund: A9

    Surovec had his opponent in rough shape, but it was Westerlund who took the lead on the 597 flop. The 8 turn gave both players additional draws, but, in the end, it was Westerlund who emerged victorious as the river was the 7. Surovec bid farewell in fourth place for €62,500.

    Action went check-check on the 62Q flop. Westerlund bet 500,000 on the 3 turn, and Chmielowski made the call.

    The river was the K and Westerlund now bet 1,400,000. Then, Chmielowski put in a raise to 3,500,000. Westerlund gave a look of confusion, and eventually, she made the call.

    Chmielowski turned over 103 for a rivered flush, and Westerlund mucked her hand. Her QQ holdings were revealed on the stream.

    Surovec check-called a 400,000 bet from Pihela Sr on the 7K2 flop. Surovec checked again on the Q, and Pihela Sr now sized up to 725,000. Surovec wasn’t going anywhere.

    Surovec checked for a third time on the 4 river. Pihela Sr bet 450,000, and Surovec made the call.

    Pihela Sr turned over AK, and as Surovec threw his hand into the muck, the pot belonged to Pihela Sr. According to the graphics on the stream, Surovec had K10.

    It was a classic flip scenario, and unfortunately for Vääräniemi, his pair didn’t hold up as the board spelled out 22J3Q. He bid farewell in fifth place for €46,000, and all his chips went the way of Chmielowski.

    The winner of Ring Event #3: €5,000 NLH, David Nivaya, opened to 400,000 UTG. Krzysztof Chmielowski called from the Cut-off, and Igor Pihela Sr joined in on the fun from the Small Blind.

    Action was checked to Chmielowski on the 2K7 flop, who bet 425,000. Pihela Sr folded, before Nivaya announced a raise to 1,200,000. Chmielowski double-checked his holdings before making the call.

    Nivaya then moved all in for 2,600,000 on the 9 turn. Chmielowski pondered for a couple of minutes, before making the call.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: 99
    Karolis Kutkauskas: A10

  • Jarkko Suokas Wins Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten for €14,035

    Jarkko Suokas

    Nicklas Nordblom announced pot for 450,000. Jarkko Suokas re-pot 1,350,000, effectively forcing Nordblom all in for 1,050,000. Nordblom made the call.

    After the dealer revealed the 1098 flop, Suokas discarded two cards. Nordblom only asked for one new card, and after declining the 9, he got another card face down.

    Nicklas Nordblom: KKJ76
    Jarkko Suokas: QQQK3

    Suokas had already locked up the five-card draw-pot, but Nordblom was ahead on the board with a straight. Unlucky for him, however, Suokas improved to a superior straight as the board completed with 3J.

    That means that Jarkko Suokas wins Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten. He overcame a field that consisted of 113 entries, and for his achievement, he wins €14,035, the $5,000 Ticket to Paradise, and most importantly, the coveted WSOP Circuit Ring.

    Entries:20/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Rasmus Lundström bet roughly 660,000, and left himself with 5,000 behind. Gonzalo Soriano called from the Big Blind, and being under the impression Lundström had moved all in, Soriano turned over his AA holdings. According to the rules, the dealer dealt the flop, and Soriano had to play the rest of the hand with his cards faced up.

    Lundström then went all in for his remaining 5,000 on the J75 flop. Naturally, Soriano made the call.

    Rasmus Lundström: 99

    No help for Lundström on the 10K runout, and he was eliminated in twenty-first place for €7,500.

The players in the blinds then folded, and when it came back to Adomauskas, he min-raised to 1,205,000. After perhaps two minute’s worth of consideration, Westerlund smooth-called.

    Adomauskas checked the 926 flop, and Westerlund then forced him all in for 1,630,000. Adomauskas sighed heavily before he folded, showing he had AK.

    Tõnis Viik: JJ
    Jenny Westerlund: QQ

    From the Cut-off, Jenny Westerlund opened to 65,000. Markku Koplimaa called from the Big Blind.

    Koplimaa check-called a 50,000 bet from Westerlund on the 510Q flop. Koplimaa checked again on the J turn, and Westerlund now bet 125,000. Then, Koplimaa raised to 375,000. Westerlund wouldn’t have it, and she re-raised to 825,000. Koplimaa wasn’t done yet; he moved all in for 1,200,000, and Westerlund snap-called.

    Markku Koplimaa: K8
    Jenny Westerlund: A3

    Absolutely brutal for Koplimaa, and the 5 river was a pure formality. He was eliminated, as Westerlund’s stack grew to enormous proportions.

    Level 20:10,000/20,000 (20,000)
    Entries:44/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Roy Van Der Reijnst finished second in Ring Event #3: €555 NLH, which is the biggest tournament of that buy-in to ever be played during the WSOP Circuit Tallinn (744 entries). Van Der Reijnst is still alive in the €1,500 Main Event, roughly playing 2,450,000. Will he be able to get redemption this time?

  • A Decent Flop

    Ritvars Cekalins & Jenny Westerlund
    Level 20:10,000/20,000 (20,000)
    Entries:53/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Borja Martinez opened to 40,000 from UTG+1. Jenny Westerlund, seated in the Small Blind, was the sole caller.

    Westerlund check-called a 30,000 bet from Martinez on the A9A flop. After another check from the Swede on the 10 turn, Martinez now sized up to 95,000. Westerlund made the call.

    Action went check-check on the 6 river. Westerlund turned over A9 for a flopped full house; now that’s a decent flop.

    Jenny Westerlund: 975,000
    Borja Martinez: 800,000

  • Miracle Jack for Chmielowski

    Level 19:10,000/15,000 (15,000)
    Entries:57/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Krzysztof Chmielowski opened to 30,000 from the Button. Jack Kiriakus then made it 165,000 from the Big Blind. Chmielowski pondered for a minute before moving all in for 475,000 in total. Kiriakus made the call.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: AJ
    Jack Kiriakus: AQ

    Kiriakus was way ahead, but he didn’t fancy the J64 flop. The 210 runout didn’t help him, and he lost a big chunk of his stack to Chmielowski.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: 1,000,000
    Jack Kiriakus: 375,000

  • Triple-up for Juhola

    Jari-Pekka Juhola
    Level 19:10,000/15,000 (15,000)
    Entries:58/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    On a 2K8A board with roughly 250,000 in the middle, some kind of action led out to Igor Pihela Sr raising an earlier bet to 475,000. Kestutis Jungevicius made the call before Jari-Pekka Juhola moved all in for 550,000 in total. Pihela Sr then attempted to go all in himself, but the door wasn’t open, and he had to settle with a call. Jungevicius also called.

    Pihela Sr and Jungevicius both checked the 9 river.

    Jari-Pekka Juhola: 88
    Kestutis Jungevicius: A2
    Igor Pihela Sr: A3

    With his set of eights, Juhola won the pot and tripled up his stack.

    Jari-Pekka Juhola: 2,000,000
    Kestutis Jungevicius: 975,000
    Igor Pihela Sr: 295,000

    Prizes:€1,138,860

    From the Hi-jack, Harem Rafat opened to 35,000. Erik Lindqwist then put in a three-bet to 90,000 from the Button. Back to Rafat who moved all in for roughly 400,000 in total. Lindqwist made the call.

    Harem Rafat: QQ
    Erik Lindqwist: AK

    Rafat was devastated to see the 38K flop. He didn’t hit a miracle queen on the 98 runout, and all his chips went the way of Lindqwist.

    Erik Lindqwist: 1,330,000
    Harem Rafat: 0

  • No Flush

    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Action folded to Jon Alba on the Button, who opened to 30,000. Krzysztof Chmielowski defended his Big Blind.

    Chmielowski check-called a 15,000 bet from Alba on the 5106 flop. Action went check-check on the 3 turn. Chmielowski checked on the 9 river, and Alba then bet 55,000. Chmielowski took some time before calling.

    Alba immediately mucked his hand, and Chmielowski was awarded the pot.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: 535,000
    Jon Alba: 50,000

  • Five Ring Events During Day 9

    Kenneth Svendsen & Even Rislov

    Time flies when you’re having fun, they say. That has proven to be the case during the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Eight days have flew by at rapid speed, and today, it’s the second-to-last day. That doesn’t imply that the fun is anywhere near done, though. In fact, today’s tournament schedule is one of the most packed one so far, with no less than five WSOP Circuit Ring Events on the schedule.

    Kicking things off is Day 3 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event. What a journey this tournament has been so far. Five starting flights led up to yesterday’s Day 2. When registration closed after the two first 60-minute levels, it was confirmed the tournament had registered 888 entries. Not only is this the biggest WSOP Circuit Main Event ever on Estonian soil, but the €1,00,000 guarantee has also been shattered (€1,138,860). The 88 remaining survivors will resume the battle for the €200,200 first-place payout at noon.

    Also starting at 12:00 is Day 2 of Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten. This is the first-time ever a Sviten tournament is WSOP Circuit Ring certified, and out of the 113 entries, 17 player remain. Patric Mattsson is the chip leader, and time will tell if he manages to navigate his way all the way to the title.

    One hour later, it’s time for the conclusion of Ring Event #10: €1,100 Mystery Bounty. The defending champion Rasmus Lundström is not one of the 41 players still in (out of a total 210 entries) as he’s still in the Main Event. Instead, there’ll be a new winner; will it be the current chip leader Andrius Mazurkevicius who emerges victorious, or perhaps another candidate?

    Ring Event #11: €3,000 NLH is also starting at 13:00. This is the tournament that holds the second-biggest buy-in of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, and presumably, many players will throw their name into the competition.

    Stephen Groom

    Last in terms of WSOP Circuit Ring Events, it’s Ring Event #12: €350 Online Event. Registration is open for the tournament in the OlyBet online poker client, and this virtual affair is a nice addition to what has already been a superb live poker event.

    Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event has concluded with 78 players bagging their chips for tomorrow’s Day 3. If this reporter is to be trusted, Karolis Kutkauskas should be the chip leader going into Day 3 with 3,150,000.

    It was quite the hectic second day of the highly-anticipated Main Event. The €1,000,000 guarantee was surpassed and with a €200,200 first-place payout, the stakes are high for Day 3. Some notable bustouts in the field are Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi, reigning Main Event champion Aurimas Stanevicius, and this year’s winner of the €1,100 PLO4/5, Mathias Siljander.

  • A Somewhat Strange Hand

    Level 18:6,000/12,000 (12,000)
    Entries:80/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    The board read 1052 with 94,000 in the middle. Ruslan Stserbjuk was the first to act, and he spent a somewhat long time thinking over his decision. Eventually, the floor called the clock on Stserbjuk, and he was given 30 seconds to make his decision. Eventually, his clock went down to zero, and chip leader Karolis Kutkauskas then bet 20,000. Quietly, Stserbjuk announced he was all in for perhaps 300,000. Kutkauskas immediately made the call.

    Ruslan Stserbjuk: K7
    Karolis Kutkauskas: Q2

    Stserbjuk was alive, but he wasn’t able to improve as the board completed with the 43 runout. Such, Kutkauskas’ already impressive stack grew even bigger.

    Karolis Kutkauskas: 3,350,000
    Ruslan Stserbjuk: 0

  • Another Insane Pot send Helppi to the Rail

    Juha Helppi
    Level 18:6,000/12,000 (12,000)
    Entries:88/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    From the Hi-jack, Karolis Kutkauskas opened to 25,000. Juha Helppi called from the Button, and Jari-Pekka Juhola defended his Big Blind.

    Action was checked to Helppi on the 749 flop, and the Finnish poker legend bet 47,000. Juhola and Kutkauskas both made the call.

    Juhola and Kutkauskas both checked again on the 10 turn. Helppi now bet 225,000, and after a fold from Juhola, Kutkauskas immideately forced Helppi all in for roughly 800,000. After perhaps five minutes worth of consideration. Helppi made the call.

    Karolis Kutkauskas: J8
    Juha Helppi: 77

    Helppi didn’t improve to a full house as the 6 fell on the river. Kutkauskas expressed great joy as he won the insanely large pot, and eliminating one of the most skillful opponenets in the process.

    Karolis Kutkauskas: 2,700,000
    Juha Helppi: 0

  • Enormous Pot Sends Karim to the Rail

    Michel Karim
    Level 18:5,000/10,000 (10,000)
    Entries:99/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    UTG, Stephen Groom opened to 20,000. When action came to Michel Karim on the Button, he re-raised to 65,000. Groom then put in a four-bet to 180,000. Karim made the call.

    Groom continued for 75,000 on the A8J flop, and Karim made the call fairly quickly. Groom sized up to 195,000 on the 4 turn. After receiving the count, Karim again called.

    Groom wasted little time before going all in on the 5 turn, effectively forcing Karim all in for 350,000. Karim took a good five minutes before making the call.

    Stephen Groom: AA
    Michel Karim: AQ

    After what perhaps is the biggest pot so far in the tournament, Karim was sent to the rail.

    Stephen Groom: 1,620,000
    Michel Karim: 0

  • The Bubble has Burst

    Level 18:5,000/10,000 (10,000)
    Entries:135/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    The floor decided to commence with hand-by-hand play when 137 players remained. When 136 were left, there were four all-in and call-situations on four different table. Two of the short stacks doubled up, and another one was eliminated.

    Cao Doan moved all in from the Button for 66,000, and Yngve Lommerud called from the Big Blind.

    Cao Doan: KJ
    Yngve Lommerud: Q8

    Doan took a solid lead on the 76K, but as we all know, poker can be a brutal game sometimes. The board completed with 8Q, giving Lommerud a runner-runner two-pair. Such, Doan was eliminated in brutal fashion.

    That means that the remaining 135 players all are in the money.

    Yngve Lommerud: 645,000
    Cao Doan: 0

    Entries:140/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Luka Sorainen opened to 16,000 from UTG+1. Karolis Kutkauskas (Cut-off), and big-stacked Juha Helppi (Big Blind) both made the call.

    Action was checked to Kutkauskas on the K69 flop, who continued for 15,000. Both of his opponents made the call.

    All three players checked the K turn. On the J river, it was once again checked to Kutkauskas who now bet 34,000. Helppi folded, but Sorainen snap-called.

    Kutkauskas revealed his KQ, which appeared to be the best hand seeing as Sorainen mucked.

    Juha Helppi: 1,210,000
    Karolis Kutkauskas: 440,000
    Luka Sorainen: 330,000

    Martin Piik: 88
    Jan Holte: AA

    Piik took a solid lead on the 810J flop, but Holte was saved in the end as the board completed JA. He got some extra chips and knocked Piik out.

    Jan Holte: 410,000
    Martin Piik: 0

    Renars Skaris: AQ
    Erik Lindqwist: QQ

    Lindqwist managed to dodge an ace on the 795K3 board, eliminating Skaris doing so.

    Hans Erlandsson, who finished fourteenth in EPT Paris 2024, opened to 13,000 from UTG+1. Gunnar Wedde made the call from the Lo-jack.

    Erlandsson fired a 8,000 continuation bet on the 597 flop. On the K turn, Erlandsson check-called a 17000 bet from Wedde. Both players then checked the A river.

    Maksim Kules opened to 10,000 from the Button. Finnish poker legend Seppo Parkkinen defended his Big Blind.

    Parkkinen donk-bet 10,000 on the 67K flop, and Kules made the call. On the 9 turn, Parkkinen forced his opponent all in for 65,000. Kules folded and received praise from his opponent in form of a verbal “good fold”.

  • Sick Hand Sends Apryan to the Rail

    Aleksandre Apryan
    Level 14:2,000/4,000 (4,000)
    Entries:238/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Aleksandre Apryan (Button and Gundars Zelcs were heads-up to the 564 flop, with 56,000 in the middle. Both players checked the flop, then, before the dealer had revealed the turn card, Zelcs moved all in, putting his opponent at risk for roughly 60,000. The dealer turned over the J, and Apryan made the call.

    Gundars Zelcs: A5
    Aleksandre Apryan: QJ

    There were some arguing on the table whether Apryan should have been allowed to see the turn card, considering Zelcs had moved all in before it was dealt. The floor confirmed that Apryan was entitled to the information, and all was good.

    Sadly for Apryan, though, Zelcs improved to trips on the 5 river. “Oh, you do him dirty, mate,” table mate Allan Arjut said, referring to the unfortunate runout for Apryan.

    Gundars Zelcs: 265,000
    Aleksandre Apryan: 0

  • Meanwhile, Sviten has Started

    While poker.pro will focus mainly on the €1,500 Main Event, there will be occasional updates from the two other Ring Events that are on today’s schedule: Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten, and Ring Event #10: €1,100 Mystery Bounty.

    Sviten just started. It’s the first time ever a Sviten tournament is being played as a WSOP Circuit-event, and many players are contending for the ring. One of them is Peter La Terra, who poker.pro interviewed yesterday.

    Level 12:1,000/2,500 (2,500)
    Entries:304/855
    Prizes:TBA

    Table 3 is quite the star-packed table. The WSOP Bracelet winner Jerry Ödeen, and the WSOP Circuit Ring winner Ranno Sootla are two of the players battling it out on the table.

    A small-stacked Sootla moved all in for 26,500 UTG. Ödeen re-shoved for 45,000 from the Button, and the two players were heads-up to the flop.

    Ranno Sootla: 98
    Jerry Ödeen: 1010

    Ödeen was ahead, but Sootla picked up all the draws on the 107A flop. He improved to a flush on the 2 turn, and the 8 river didn’t help Ödeen.

    Ranno Sootla: 60,500
    Jerry Ödeen: 18,500

    Entries:308/846
    Prizes:TBA

    Vidar Assersen opened to 9,000 from UTG+1. Nicolas Alvariza then three-bet to 20,000, before No Filter Poker Series-founder Mounir Tajiou moved from the Button all in for 40,000. Assersen re-shoved for 43,000, and Alvariza made the call, having both of his opponents covered.

    Mounir Tajiou: 88
    Vidar Assersen: AA
    Nicolas Alvariza: AK

    Assersen was ahead, and the best hand held up on the 2J310A board. Tajiou was eliminated in the process, but perhaps he’ll re-enter.

    Nicolas Alvariza: 155,000
    Vidar Assersen: 136,500

    Stanevicius check-called a 6,000 continuation bet from Tumulis on the QJ9 flop. He checked again on the 9 turn. Tumulis now bet 13,000; again, Stanevicius made the call.

    Both players checked the A river. Stanevicius showed KQ, which was good as Tumulis mucked his hand.

    Aurmias Stanevicius: 116,000

    Giuseppe Di Stasio: JJ
    Frederico Dos Santos: QQ

    Big pair against big pair, and queens were good on the 41089A board.

    On the very next hand, Dos Santos again opened to 5,500, this time from UTG. Again, it was Di Stasio to take up the battle, this time with a 11,500. Dos Santos was up for the task as he re-raised to 35,500. Di Stasio folded, and Dos Santos revealed KK for back-to-back premium holdings.

    Frederico Dos Santos: 137,500
    Giuseppe Di Stasio: 47,500

    The 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Photo: Elena Kask
    Level 11:1,000/2,5000 (2,500)
    Entries:327/824
    Prizes:TBA

    Modestas Kryzanauskas opened to 5,000 UTG. The 2024 Irish Poker Open Main Event champion Tero Laurila called from the Lo-jack, and so did Aurimas Baltutis (Cut-off), Richard Melby (Small Blind), and Arkadiusz Liszewski (Big Blind).

    Action was checked to Kryzanauskas on the QQ10 flop, who continued for 6,000. Laurila then raised to 17,000, and Baltutis cold-called. Melby, Liszweski, and Kryzanauskas all folded.

    Laurila checked the 8 turn, prior to Baltutis betting 10,000. Laurila let his hand go.

    Tero Laurila: 121,000
    Aurimas Baltutis: 87,000

    It was a flip, but Jurgevicius’ pair of sevens was good on the 10J652 board.

    Klaudijus Garjonis: 0

  • Main Event Day 2 and More on Today’s Schedule

    It’s Day 8 of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, which means that one week of this golden nugget of a poker festival already has passed. Time is flying in the Estonian capital, as are the cards and the chips on the poker tables; it’s safe to say the action has been mezmerizing.

    On today’s schedule Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event is the highlight. That being said, there are two other Ring Events on the schedule, both very intriguing.

    After five starting flights, it’s now time for Day 2 of the €1,500 Main Event. 764 entries have been made in the tournament so far, and 327 are returning to Day 2. Registration is open for two more 60-minute levels; it’s an educated guess that the total number of entries will exceed 800 by some margin. The chip leader going into Day 2 is Markku Koplimaa.

    At 15:00, it’s one of the most hyped events of the whole circuit. Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten marks the first time ever a Sviten tournament is WSOP Circuit Ring certified, and presumably, all Mixed Games players should be very interested competing for this inaugural title. The tournament is a two-day event, and Day 1 will be played down to 15 % of the field.

    Ten, at 18:00, it’s Day 1 of Ring Event #10: €1,100 Mystery Bounty. Nothing beats the thrill of a live poker mystery bounty tournament. Day 1 will play 10 levels, before the survivors will bag n’ tag.

  • La Terra Returns to Tallinn for First Ever Sviten WSOP Circuit Ring Event

    Tomorrow, August 1, Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event is arguably the golden nugget on the tournament schedule. That being said, tomorrow will also be a historical day in the Estonian capital, as Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten, is scheduled to commence at 15:00. This is the first-ever WSOP Circuit Ring Event of the very popular game that is Sviten, and presumably, many experienced players will join the action in an attempt to write their name into the poker history books.

    There are many players who are capable of winning the title in this Five-Card Draw/PLO-hybrid of a game. One of them is Sweden’s Peter La Terra. Peter arrived to Tallinn the other day, and yesterday, he could be seen in Olympic Park Casino playing a €5/€5 Sviten cash game with fellow Scandinavians. He is, without a doubt, a serious contender for the trophy, and you’d better believe he’s here to win it.

    This reporter was lucky enough to have a small chat with Peter, who’s currently playing the €200 Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw side event.

    An impressive Resumé

    Peter has to be considered one of the most prominent Sviten players in the world. According to his profile on The Hendon Mob, he has two titles in the discipline and a horde of final table results. On top of that, he also has two Five-card Draw titles. A very impressive resumé, and he’s the most proud of a certain title that he got back in 2019:

    “2019, I won the €220 Pot-Limit Drawmaha Championship here in Tallinn. It was branded like the it was the “World Championship” of Sviten, but I expect tomorrow’s tournament to be much bigger.”

    During the 2024 wSOP Circuit Tallinn, Peter La Terra explained the rules of Sviten to host Teele Viira.

    The inaugural event is indeed expected to be a big one. Every Mixed Games enthusiast that you speak to here at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel all expresses their excitement for the tournament. An educated guess is that the unparalleled action that Sviten brings is why so many players are fond of this game.

    According to Peter, it’s crucial to know the strength of your hand in Sviten, something the average player may not be aware of:

    “The most common mistake I see amongst players is that they over-value their PLO hand and bet too frequently on the flop. You have better chances scooping the pot if you instead bet on the turn and/or the river.”

    While Peter hasn’t hit the books studying the Scandinavian-invented game, he’s been playing PLO and Five-card Draw more than most people on earth. When asked about his biggest strength in Sviten, Peter claims patience is the most important skill to master, not only in Sviten but in poker in general. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

    Who will win the WSOP Circuit Ring in tomorrow’s Sviten event?

    Considering the vast amount of skillful and merited players we’re expected to see tomorrow, I asked Peter if there’s any particular name who may appear in the field that he fears. “Not Peter Bergman, he should stick to selling sandwiches,” Peter jokes as Bergman bursts out in laugh from the other table. Seriously though, Peter is way too experienced to underestimate any player who’s seated at his table.

    Once again, the tournament starts at 15:00 tomorrow. Late registration will close at the end of Level 10, approximately at 21:45. It’s a two-day event; Day 1 will be played until 15 % of the field remains. Those who make it through will return to Day 2, August 2 at 12:00.

    This tournament will go down in poker history, and time will tell who manages to snag the prestigious WSOP Circuit Ring.

  • Siljander Closing in on Tarmi After €1,100 PLO4/5 Win

    Mathias Siljander won Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5 During the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    Yesterday was the conclusion of Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5. It was a star-spangled final table, featuring players such like Riku Koivurinne (who was the title defender) and Andria Gogelidze (who was going for back-to-back titles after winning Ring Event #3: €555 PLO4/5). All seven players put all of their poker skills on full display, and in the end, it was Finland’s Mathias Siljander who was crowned the winner. This poker.pro reporter was fortunate enough to have a small chat with Siljander.

    With the €41,000 he got for winning, Siljander’s total live tournament earnings now exceed €1,000,000, according to his profile on The Hendon Mob. That’s not what’s he’s currently chasing, though:

    “I am chasing Roope Tarmi, but I don’t think this win was enough. So I guess I have to win the Main Event as well.”

    5 Renars SkanisLatvia€9,250
    6 Riku KoivurinneFinland€6,900
    7 Antti VeteläinenFinland€5,350

    It was a joyful journey for Mathias more or less the tournament throughout. Even though being matched up with some competent opponents initially, he managed to build up a big stack fairly quickly:

    “I don’t think I lost an all-in during the whole tournament. The seat draw for the first table was bad; there were only good, Finnish players at the table, probably better than me. I got lucky here and there, and now, here we are.”

    When asked whether he preferred the four- or five-card orbit, Mathias was very straight forward:

    “5-card PLO is not a great game. You have to be tight, and that’s no fun. If you have a big stack it’s an okay game, but otherwise, I don’t like it.”

    Mathias is hungry for more, and today, he managed to bag 155,000 from Day 1d of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event. Patience was his key to get the decent stack. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint,” Mathias preached when we briefly discussed multi-table tournament strategies.

    “I’ve been patient, letting the other guys play. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

    t’s safe to say Mathias has some experience when it comes to winning big Main Event titles in the Estonian capital. In fact, he won the €1,100 Main Event during the 2024 Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition for €130,300, his biggest live cash in his career so far.

    Time will tell if Mathias manages to do a deep run in the Main Event, and pass his rival Roope Tarmi on The Hendon Mob rankings.

  • Krzysztof Budka Wins Ring Event #8: €1,100 8-Game for €22,390

    With the 5 as his revealed card, Pasi Laihinen brought in for 30,000. Krzysztof Budka, having the 7 in front of him, raised to 100,000. Laihinen made the call.

    The dealer dealt Budka the 10 and Laihinen the 5. Laihinen bet 100,000 and Budka called.

    Budka then got the 2 and Laihinen the 4. Laihinen now bet 200,000, before Budka forced his opponent all in for roughly 400,000 in total. Laihinen made the call.

    Krzysztof Budka: 76 / 7102
    Pasi Laihinen: 34 / 554

    Budka was dealt 97 as his two final cards, while Laihinen got 79. Budka won the pot, and with that, he eliminated his heads-up opponent Laihinen.

    That means that Krzystof Budka is the winner of Ring Event #8: €1,000 8-Game. He conquered a field consisting of 79 entries, and he during heads-up, he really showcased that he masters of all of the games. For his achievements, he gets the WSOP Circuit Ring, the $5,000 Ticket to Paradise, and the €22,390 first-place payout.

  • Two Chip Millionaires Emerge From €350 Mini Main Day 1a

    2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn
    2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    The 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn was off to an amazing start, with the casino floor packed before the action moved upstairs in the Hilton Tallinn Park convention rooms on Saturday. Day 1a of Event #1: €350 Mini Main Event attracted a banner field of 274 entries to create a €81,377 prize pool, with 41 players bagging chips into Sunday’s Day 2 already in the money in this three-day affair.

    Finland’s Ville-Matti Keränen (1,367,000) and Corne Scheel (1,106,000) emerged as chip millionaires as they parlayed their 50,000 opening stack into seven-figure stacks to lead the way with two-time WSOP Circuit Tallinn champion Roope Tarmi from Finland in third with 709,000.

    Saturday will feature both Day 1b at Noon, followed by the final opening flight in Day 1c at 7 p.m. Both flights have a 30-minute clock, and the action concludes after the field is trimmed down to just 15 percent.

    Stay hydrated and prepare for a long day as yesterday took approximately 12 hours from start to finish. Our team at poker.pro will be lightly covering all of the events today, but will be on the floor until players bag on Day 1b.

  • Mini Main Action Kicks Off the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    The 2025 WSOPC Tallinn will be played July 25-August 3 at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel & Olympic Park Casino.
    The 2025 WSOPC Tallinn will be played July 25-August 3 at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel & Olympic Park Casino.

    Only a couple of hours into the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, and it’s safe to say the event is off to a promising start. In fact, the Freebuy Satellite to the €350 Mini Main Event attracted an astonishing 227 entries. 17 unique players all got their hands on a ticket to the first ring event (out of a total 12).

    Considering all poker today is being played solely in the casino and not in the Hilton’s event facilities, the overwhelming interest in the satellite forced Day 1a of the Mini Main Event to be slightly postponed. As of right now, 143 players are in what has to be considered the highlight of the first weekend.

    Reminder that the poker.pro live coverage will kick off tomorrow. A list of those who made it through Day 1a of the Mini Main Event will also be provided then.

  • The 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn Kicks off Today

    Today marks the beginning of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Between July 25 and August 3, it’s going to be a prestigious battle at the Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel. With no fewer than 12 WSOP Circuit Ring Events – one of them being the €1,500 Main Event with a staggering €1,000,000 guarantee – there’s no doubt all contestants will put their full repertoire of poker skills on display.

    And if the rings weren’t enough incentive already, there’s a massive bonus on the line: every winner of a WSOP Circuit ring event in Tallinn will also receive a $5,000 “Ticket to Paradise” for the 2025 WSOP Bahamas, including entry to the $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty and a luxury stay in the Caribbean.

    With that in mind, the schedule for the first weekend of the festival features quite an interesting potpourri of tournaments.

    Three Ring Events this Weekend

    Arguably, the €350 Mini Main Event is the star of the first weekend. Day 1a is scheduled to commence today at 16:00, while 1b and 1c both are played tomorrow, Saturday 26. Day 2 will be played on Sunday, and the survivors will move on to the grand final on Monday where a winner will be crowned.

    The Mini Main Event is a certified ring event, and that is also the case with the €555 NLH, as well as the €555 PLO4/5. Both tournaments have their first flights on Sunday (in fact, there is only one Day 1-flight for the PLO4/5).

    While these three ring events are the three tournaments that should attract most players during the first weekend, there’s a lot more fun on the schedule. The €350 Open-face Chinese Pineapple (Saturday 26) should appeal to all Mixed Games enthusiasts, as is the case with the €200 NLH/PLO4/PLO5 (Sunday 27). What’s more, there is a €150 Mega Satellite to the €1,500 Main Event on Sunday with ten tickets guaranteed. That isn’t the only satellite this weekend, however; there are €80 satellites both for the €555 NLH, and the €555PLO4/5.

    Needless to say, the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn will kick off with a flourish this weekend. It’s going to be a poker week to remember in the Estonian capital, and this is only the beginning. The poker.pro live reporting team will be on-site throughout the festival and report daily from July 26 to August 3. Make sure you don’t miss out on any of the action.

    Perhaps ten minutes after both players agreed to a heads-up deal, Frederico Dos Santos limped from the Button. Janis Leja checked, and the dealer revealed the 757 flop. Both players checked, and the turn was the 8. Leja now bet 175,000, and Dos Santos made the call. On the 10 river, Leja made a big bet and fired 475,000. Dos Santos quickly moved all in for just shy of 1,000,000, and Leja made the call.

    Janis Leja: 96
    Frederico Dos Santos: J7

    Leja won the showdown and he had Dos Santos just covered, which meant he was crowned the winner of the €200 Progressive.

    It took close to a full hour for the bubble to burst. There were multiple all-ins and calls, and the short stack even managed to double up. At one point, there was an all-in and call-situation on all three tables (three-way on one of them), and still, no player went out in eighteenth place.

    Then, thunder struck. With a four-way all in.

    It was Irmantas Bzeskis who moved all in for 70,000 from the Cut-off. Then, big-stacked Frederico Dos Santos re-shoved for perhaps 260,000 from the Button. Action didn’t stop there, though; Mykyta Ivanov committed all of his 80,000. Seated in the Big Blind, Santeri Yliselä completed the chaotic action by putting all his 48,000 on the line.

    Irmantas Bzeskis: KK
    Frederico Dos Santos: AQ
    Mykyta Ivanov: 1010
    Santeri Yliselä: J9

    What an insane situation, and Dos Santos who had all his opponents at risk completed a triple K.O as the board ran out 66AA7.

    Being the shortest stack, Yliselä didn’t cash (except for some bounties), and Bzeskis and Ivanov both claimed the €201 min-cash.

    Frederico Dos Santos: 458,000
    Irmantas Bzeskis: 0
    Mykyta Ivanov: 0
    Santeri Yliselä: 0

    Entries:138/401
    Prizes:TBA

    Late registration is over for Day 1b of the €350 Mini Main Event, and the magical number 400 was surpassed.

    One of the earlier exits after late registration closed was Drea Karlsen. Tarmo Tammel had opened to 6,000 from UTG, and Pertti Salakari had made the call. From the Button, Karlsen then moved all in for 83,000, and she was called by Tammel.

    Drea Karlsen: KQ
    Tarmo Tammel: KK

    “Let’s hit a straight,” a positive Karlsen urged to the poker Gods. “It’s not looking good,” she continued on the 822 flop. The board completed with 26 and her fate in Day 1b was sealed. Perhaps she chooses to enter Day 1c, which currently has 133 players in.

    Tarmo Tammel: 320,000

    From the Hi-jack, Feras Abid opened to 6,500. Action folded to Morten Bremseth, who moved all in for 33,500 from the Button. Abid made the call.

    Morten Bremseth: K9
    Feras Abid: 77

    Abid was ahead, but a king on the runout awarded Bremseth the best hand.

    Back to Day 1b of the €350 Mini Main Event where Rasmus Lundström opened from UTG+2. A player in middle position called, before Mykhailo Mikhalov raised to 22,500 from the Big Blind. Lundström made the call, and the unknown player in middle position folded.

    Mikhalov checked on the J87 flop, and Lundström sensed an opportunity to take over the aggression. He bet 28,000. Mikhalov made the call, and the 9 was dealt on the river. Mikhalov checked again; Lundström now fired a 36,000 bet, big enough to make Mikhalov fold.

    Fun fact: just like Lundström, Mikhalov is also a former WSOP Circuit Tallinn Ring Event winner. Last year, he won the €350 Deepstack for €25,115.

    Considering it’s been a year since the 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, it’s time to refresh who claimed the prestigious WSOP Circuit Rings last year. Some of the players, such as Rasmus Lundström and Riku Koivurinne, are already on-site and has begun their ring hunt for 2025. Presumably, more of last year’s conquerors will show up later during the festival and defend their titles.

    Riku Koivurinne should be a serious contender for the €350 Open-face Chinese title. He’s a master of Mixed Games; during the 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, he claimed his first circuit ring when he won the €1,100 PLO4/5 for €41,200, and how, he’s back for more.

    In terms of Open-face Chinese, it’s safe to say Koivurinne is in good shape. Back in April, he won the €350 OFC event during the 2025 Irish Poker Open, conquering a field of 118 entries. It’s going to be exciting following his progress not only in today’s tournament, but throughout the festival.

    Yet another former WSOP Circuit Ring Event winner has joined Day 1b of the €350 Mini Main Event. During the 2024 edition, Rasmus Lundström won the €1,100 Mystery Bounty for €19,850 (bounties not included) and claimed his first ring. Two days later, he came extremely close at capturing another ring, as he finished as the runner-up in the €555 Progressive Bounty. Perhaps, this will be the year he claims his second ring, as well as the “Ticket to Paradise”.

    The number of entries in Day 1b of the €350 Mini Main Event is growing bigger by the minute, and no doubt will this be a very big tournament.

    UTG+1, Lauri Tuominen opened to 2,200. Justus Kursi (Lo-jack) and Urmas Möttus (Hi-jack) both made the call.

    Action was checked around on the 95A flop. On the K turn, Tuominen bet 6,000, and Kursi was the sole caller. Tuominen continued with a 4,000 bet on the 3 river, and Kursi made the call.

    Tuominen revealed AQ. Kursi couldn’t beat it and mucked his hand.

    Perhaps, the seventh installment in the popular film series will be about the €200 Progressive Bounty that is just about to start. Nothing beats the thrill of a live poker bounty tournament, and this will surely be a blockbuster of a tournament.

    During last year’s WSOP Circuit Tallinn, Finland’s Atush Esker won the event (which then held a €350 buy-in). He navigated his way through the field that consisted of 146 entries and won €5,005 excluding bounties. He’s not one of the 40 players who’s in the field from the get-go, but perhaps, he’ll make his appearance during the late-reg period.

  • Külanurk is out…or is he?

    Seated in the Hi-jack, Risto Pärnat opened to 1,800 on blinds 400/800. Mykyta Ivanov called from the Button, before Artur Külanurk moved all in for 18,400 from the Big Blind. After some consideration, Pärnat made the call before Ivanov folded.

    Artur Külanurk: A5
    Risto Pärnat: AJ

    Pärnat was way ahead, and even picked up a flush draw on the 82K flop. The turn was the 8, and when the river came 7, Külanurk went up and starting walking out of the tournament area. The dealer had to tell him that he hit a runner-runner flush, and in a mix of surprise and joy, Külanurk sat back down.

    Many players, including Scott “Pokerbrahs” Kenyon, Eva “Chic” Jirestrom, Lena Bjorn, and Siim Suviste, were practicing their Open-face Chinese Pineapple skills last night in the lobby of the Hilton Tallinn Park in anticipation for today’s €350 Open-face Chinese Pineapple tournament.

    The turbo-charged Event #20: €200 NLH/PLO4/PLO5 Mix attracted a banner field of 138 entries to create a €22,287 prize pool. The event created a fun atmosphere in the main hall with Finnish players dominating the field with five Finnish players at the seven-max final table and 11 out of the 17 players that cashed coming from the Scandinavian country.

    Finland earned its second trophy of the festival after Aku Laajas defeated Estonian Erio Ermann (second – €3,610) heads-up to earn the €5,520 top prize. Poker streamer Scott “Pokerbrahs” Kenyon earned his second cash in the festival but was busy socializing soon after the money bubble broke after earning a min-cash for 17th place worth €380.

    The atmosphere at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel is most definately still swirling. There’s one more level worth of late registration in the €555 PLO4/5. Regarding the €555 NLH; each starting day-flight plays ten levels. Late registration is open until the conclusion of Level 12, though. That means players can jump straight into Day 2 on Tuesday, July 29, if they prefer. In other words, late registration for the ongoing 1a flight is open all the way.

    The €200 NLH/PLO4/PLO5 is also in full swing, while the €150 Mega Satellite will commence at 21:30. Don’t miss out on this one, as it has ten tickets guaranteed for the €1,500 Main Event.

    For poker.pro, however, that’s a wrap for today’s live updates. The live reporter will now charge his batteries for tomorrow’s conclusion of the €350 Mini Main Event; the final table is set to begin at noon. Monday’s schedule is an absolute fiest, though, so there’ll be a lot more intriguing action to follow. The chip counts from the €555 PLO and Day 1a of the €555 NLH will be shared as soon as possible.

    Thanks to everyone who’s been following along with today’s coverage.

    Things have progressed in the €350 Mini Main Event slightly faster than expected. With ten players left, big-stacked Corne Scheel opened to 250,000 UTG. Action folded to Anu Lilja, who moved all in for 945,000 in total from the Big Blind. After receiving the county, Scheel deemed he was priced in to make the call.

    Anu Lilja: 33
    Corne Scheel: QJ

    A classic coinflip situation. Lilja was ahead all the way up until the river, as the full board spelled out 27510J. With Lilja out in tenth place for €2,740, the remaining nine players were given the opportunity to play the final table tonight. They respectfully declined, and they will return tomorrow, July 28, at 12:00.

    The number of players remaining in the €350 Mini Main Event is reducing drastically. The 17 players remaining have all looked up €1,090, and are still fighting for a table on tomorrow’s final table.

    UTG, Joona Tefke moved all in for roughly 800,000. Krzysztof Chmielowski re-shoved for perhaps 900,000 from UTG+1, and the two contestants soon turned over their cards.

    Joona Tefke: AJ
    Krzysztof Chmielowski: AQ

    The best hand held up as the board ran out KA57Q, and Tefke hit the rail in eighteenth place.

    One of the most anticipated of the series, Ring Event #3: the €555 NLH, started roughly 30 minutes ago. Day 1a is the first out of three starting day flights, and for each of the three, 10 levels will be played before the survivors can bag for Day 2.

    Reigning champ is Germany’s Phil Gross, who navigated his way through a field that consisted of 867 entries. He won €55,210, and perhaps, he’ll be in Tallinn this year to defend his title.

  • Open-face Chinese Champion Koivurinne is Hungry for More

    Last night’s winner of the €350 Open-face Chinese, Riku Koivurinne, just returned to the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel after what hopefully was a good night’s rest. He took his winner’s picture with the trophy, and before he jumped into the €555 PLO4/5 Ring Event, he was kind enough to give poker.pro five minutes for a small chat.

    Rumors has it Koivurinne arrived later than expected to Tallinn yesterday on account of traffic in Helsinki to the ferry. Allegedly, his plan was to play the €350 Mini Main Event after he busted the OFC. “Yet, I won the last OFC tournament I played, so you never know”, he added at the end of the quote, and now, here we are.

    As insane as this sounds, yesterday’s heads-up duel against Fabian Bartuschk was actually a repeat of the €350 Open-face Chinese event during the 2025 Irish Poker Open. Koivurinne got the best of his German opponent on both occasions:

    “I kind of felt a little bad for Fabian both here and in Dublin because I ran really good. I really enjoy OFC; it’s a really fun game, you don’t have to stress, you just play your game and have a chat with the other players. It’s very enjoyable.”

    Considering this poker.pro reporter is very novice when it comes to OFC, I curiously asked Koivurinne about the variance in the game:

    “People feel like OFC is a high-variance game, but in my opinion it’s on the lower side; especially if the structure is as good as it was here.”

    Riku Koivurinne also won the €1,100 PLO4/5 during the 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, claiming his first ring. Photo: Elena Kask

    It’s safe to say the Finn is a worthy OFC winner. He’s spent time studying the game and playing a lot online, which may not always be the case with all Mixed Games players. OFC isn’t the only discipline Koivurinne is prominent in, though; during the 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, he won his first Circuit Ring when he emerged victorious in the €1,100 PLO4/5. When asked what event he’s looking forward to the most this coming week, he can’t decide whether it’s the €1,100 8-Game or the €555 Sviten. Luckily, the schedule allows him to play both tournaments.

    At the end of our talk, Koivurinnen has a message to all 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn players:

    “Play the Mixed Games. They’re a lot of fun and, in my opinion, the most enjoyable forms poker. It’s because the Mixed Games players are always good people and are in it for the fun.”

    It’ll be exciting to follow Koivurinnen’s progress this week, and perhaps, he’ll claim his second WSOP Circuit Ring.

  • Tuominen is Out

    A short-stacked Lauri Tuominen moved all in for 165,000 from the Cut-off. “165,000, you say?” Arasch Mirzai asked for confirmation. “Then I have to call,” he said as he put in the extra 105,000 required from the Big Blind.

    Lauri Tuominen: A4
    Arasch Mirzai: 53

    Things were looking good for Tuominen, but the Q5K saw Mirzai hitting a pair of fives. He dodged the many outs of Tuominen as the board completed with 107. Such, Tuominen was eliminated.

    Jim O’Neill: KJ
    Luri Tuominen: AJ

    Tuominen had his opponent in rough shape from the get-go, and he was still way ahead on the 598 flop. Things were still looking good on the 7 turn, but with the K on the river, O’Neill hit a magical three-outer to stay alive in the €350 Mini Main Event.

    Prizes:€280,953

    There are a few former WSOP Circuit Tallinn Ring Event winners still going strong in the €350 Mini Main Event. One of them is Roope Tarmi; he managed to win the €3,000 6-handed NLH in 2023 and claimed his first bracelet. Then, he won the exact same tournament in 2024. He’s proved countless of times he masters the short-handed format; will this perhaps be the year he captures a full-rig title?

    It’s day three of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, and today is quite the hectic day. With no fewer than three Ring Events on the schedule. It’s going to be yet another day of intriguing poker action in the Estonian capital.

    First out is Day 2 of the €350 Mini Main Event. The three starting flights combined attracted 954 entries. This translates to a €280,953 prize pool, and the 142 players who’re set to take their seats today at noon are ready to fight for the biggest slice of it. They are all guaranteed a €700 min-cash. Today, the Mini Main is playing down to a final table. Play will resume at Level 19: Blinds 10,000/15,000, with a 15,000 Ante.

    Ring Event number two, the €555 PLO4/5 will kick off at 14:00. This is the only starting flight of this two-day affair, and today, they will play down to 18 players. Eight players secured their seat for this tournament through yesterday’s satellite, and the number of entries chasing Omaha glory is expected to be a big one.

    The €555 NLH is the third Ring Event. The first out of three starting day flights is scheduled to 17:00 today, and play will conclude after ten 30-minute levels. German Phil Gross is the title defender; last year, he claimed €55,210 as he conquered a field of 867 entries. Perhaps there’ll be similar numbers this year.

    While these are the highlights of the day, there are some fun and intriguing side events and satellite action. For example, players have an excellent opportunity to claim their ticket for the €1,500 Main Event for a cheaper price; the €150 Satellite commences at 21:30 and has a guaranteed ten seats.

    What’s more, all ladies can partake in the Freebuy Satellite to the €350 NLH Queens, aka Ring Event number four. The satellite, which starts at 14:00, is free to enter, and re-buys and add-ons are €20 each.

    The live reporting on poker.pro is done for the day. It was a thrilling conclusion both to the Ring Event #1: €350 Mini Main Event, and the Ring Event #2: €555 PLO4/5. Ring Event #4: €350 NLH Queens is still in full flare, as is the case with Day 1c of Ring Event #3: €555 NLH.

    In the Mini Main Event, Sweden’s Simon Hesserud Persson outlasted a massive 954-entry field to claim the first ring of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. With €280,953 in the prize pool, Persson earned the €45,700 top prize, the coveted WSOP Circuit Ring, and the $5,000 Ticket to Paradise. After seizing the chip lead late at the final table, he never looked back.

    Seated on the Button, Andria Gogelidze limped from the Button. Taago Tamm checked, and the players headed to the flop.

    Tamm checked on 386, prior to Gogelidze betting 100,000. Tamm then raised to 450,000, but Gogelidze wasn’t going anywhere; he re-pot to 1,350,000. Tamm made the call.

    On the 3 turn, Tamm checked prior to Gogelidze firing a 550,000 bet. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Tamm moved all in for an additional 2,000,000, and Gogelidze quickly called.

    Taago Tamm: J753
    Andria Gogelidze: 10766

    Gogelidze was ahead, and the J on the river settled it. Tamm went out in second place, cashing €18,000.

    Taago Tamm: AQ7J9
    Andria Gogelidze: AA792

    It looked like it would be a split pot as the four first cards on the board were 8779, but the Q Gave Tamm a superior full house. He evened out the stacks during this heads-up battle.

    Nicolai Austad limped from the Button. After Vytautas Riskevicius folded his Small Blind, Simon Hesserud Persson decided to check.

    First to act on the J25 flop, Hesserud Persson checked. Austad bet 600,000, and Hesserud Persson then firmly put in a big stack of 500,000. Austad moved all in for roughly 4,000,000 in total and Hesserud Persson snap-called.

    Nicolai Austad: A4
    Simon Hesserud Persson: 52

    The 9A runout didn’t help Austad, and he was out in third place for €21,220.

    The stage is set for a heads-up duel between Hesserud Persson and Riskevicius, with the former holding a commanding chiplead.

    Simon Hesserud Persson opened to 1,000,000 from the Button. Corne Scheel then moved all in from the Small Blind for 11,200,000. Then, Nicolai Austad decided to go for it; he moved all in for 6,150,000 from the Big Blind. Hesserud Persson got out of the way, and the players turned over their cards.

    Corne Scheel: 66
    Nicolai Austad: AJ

    “Sweaty,” Scheel declared as the dealer dealt the K107 flop. Austad then took a solid lead as he improved to a straight on the Q river, but Scheel picked up a flush draw. The Dutchman wasn’t able to improve though, as the river bricked out for him in the form of the 3. Such, Austad doubled up.

    Vytautas Riskevicius has survived a couple of all-ins, and he’s still a contender for the trophy..

    Most recently, he opened to 2,300,000 from the Button, leaving himself with 2,500,000 behind. Simon Hesserud Persson re-shoved from the Small Blind, and the two of them were soon heads-up to the flop.

    Vytautas Riskevicius: AQ
    Simon Hesserud Persson: 77

    Hesserud Persson was ahead all the way up until the river, as Riskevicius hit a miracle ace on the 646KA runout.

    Ville Keränen moved all in for 4,500,000 from the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Simon Hesserud Persson asked Corne Scheel (who was seated in the Big Blind) how much he had behind. Eventually, Hesserud Persson went all in himself, and and Scheel folded, the Swede was heads-up against Keränen.

    Ville Keränen: KQ
    Simon Hesserud Persson: AJ

    Keränen was alive, but didn’t manage to connect as the board spelled out 8210109. He went out in fifth place for €10,940, as Hesserud Persson extended his chiplead even further.

    UTG, Simon Hesserud Persson opened to 400,000. Corne Scheel put in a three-bet to 1,100,000 from the Cut-off. Hesserud Persson decided to make the call.

    The flop came 364. Hesserud Persson check-called a 600,000 bet from Scheel, and the J made its appearance on the turn. Another check from Hesserud Persson triggered a 2,000,000 bet from Scheel, and once again, Hesserud Persson made the call.

    On the J river, it was Hesserud Persson who led out for a small 500,000 bet. Scheel wasn’t slowing down, though; he forced his Swedish opponent all in for 5,150,000 in total. Hesserud Persson made the call as fast as humanly possible.

    Corne Scheel: A8
    Simon Hesserud Persson: AJ

    The biggest pot of the tournament so far went the way of Hesserud Persson who overtook the chiplead from Scheel.

    From UTG+1, chipleader Corne Scheel opened to 400,000. When action came around to Ville Keränen, he moved all in for 1,500,000 from the Cut-off. Seated on the Button, short-stacked Oleksandr Shokur looked agonized; eventually, he too moved all in for roughly 500,000.

    Things wouldn’t stop there, though, as Krzysztof Chmielowski called the 1,500,000 from the Big Blind. Back to Scheel who wished the three musketeers good luck, before he decided to fold.

    Ville Keränen: AQ
    Oleksandr Shokur: 77
    Krzysztof Chmielowski: 88

    The board spelled out 2Q310Q, resulting in Keränen trippling up, and Shokur going out in eighth place for €4,450.

  • Four Ring Events on Day Four

    The 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Photo: Elena Kask

    Good morning, Tallinn! After a successful first weekend, the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn keeps rollin’ on like a train on the mainland, and the action will most certainly not slow down. The fourth day of the festival is a Monday for the ages, with the conclusion of the first two WSOP Circuit Ring Events on the schedule. As if that wasn’t enough, two more starting flights of Ring Event #3: the €555 NLH will be played, and Ring Event #4: NLH Queens will commence. There’s also some intriguing side events and some juicy satellites. Without further ado, let’s break down today’s schedule.

    11-Tournament Schedule Features Four Ring Events

    Arguably, the highlight of the day will be the conclusion of Ring Event #1: the €350 Mini Main Event. After a somewhat quick Day 2 yesterday, the nine remaining players will resume the battle at 12:00 today. They’re competing for the €45,700 first-place payout, the WSOP Circuit Event Ring, the “Ticket to Paradise”, and, of course, eternal poker glory.

    Leading the field is Corne Scheel. The Dutch is off to a good start during the Festival; he finished third in the €350 Open-face Chinese for €2,310, and now, he’ll try to convert his fairly big chip lead to his first WSOP Circuit Ring.

    18-9 Jevgenijs SapronenkoLatvia875,0006

    There will be one more Ring Event winner crowned today, though, as Ring Event #2: the €555 PLO4/5 will also play until only one player is standing. 26 players bagged from Day 1, and the remaining warriors will take their seats at 13:00.

    The first starting flight of the Ring Event #3: the €555 NLH, was played yesterday, and 111 players made it to Day 2. That means €102,600 has been contributed to the prize pool. Day 1b and 1c are both of today’s schedule; it’s worth mentioning that late registration will be open until the conclusion of Level 12, but all starting flights play ten levels. That means, players can register during the first two levels of Day 2.

    Ring Event #4: the €350 NLH Queens will kick off at 13:00. Presumably, there will be many ladies ready to put all their poker skills on full display, and Day 1 will be played until 15 % of the field remains.

    These four Ring Events aside, there’s loads of more action in the form of side events and satellites. Today’s schedule is most certainly filled to the brim.

    Sindy Ygborn moved all in for 470,000 from the Button. Drea Karlsen made the call from the Big Blind in an attempt to eliminate Ygborn.

    Drea Karlsen: 66
    Sindy Ygborn: Q4

    Sindy was optimistic and got her rail cheering for her survival. However, the 94K57 wasn’t enough for the Swede, and such, Ygborn was eliminated in second place for €4,150.

    After Sindy Ygborn folded on the Button, Small Blind-player Drea Karlsen forced Nadja Sutter all in for 605,000. Sutter took a peak at her holdings, then instantly called from the Big Blind for her tournament life.

    Drea Karlsen: K4
    Nadja Sutter: JJ

    Sutter had woken up with a monster, and the 6A5 flop didn’t feature a scare. Karlsen picked up a gutshot on the 2 turn, but she didn’t need it; the K for the river sent Sutter to the rail in brutal fashion. Sutter received €2,770 for her third-place finish.

    Drea Karlsen: 1,700,000

    Nadja Sutter opened to 60,000 UTG. Seated in the Big Blind, Vita Veidemane was the sole caller.

    As fast as humanly possible, Veidemane moved all in for 295,000 on the 1027 flop. Sutter made the call just as fast.

    Vita Veidemane: J10
    Nadja Sutter: AA

    Veidemane was in rough shape, and the 72 didn’t help her. All her chips went the way of Sutter, and Veidemane went to collect a €1,950 paycheck for her fourth-place finish.

    Nadja Sutter: 785,000

    Saara Benlamine committed 220,000 of her 250,000 to a pre-flop raise from the Button. Drea Karlsen made the call from the Big Blind.

    Karlsen bet one Big Bind on the Q108 flop, and Benlamine called for her tournament life.

    Drea Karlsen: A7
    Saara Benlamine: KJ

    Benlamine was a small favorite percent-wise, but ace-high was good for Karlsen as the board completed 48. That meant Benlamine was out in sixth place for €1,443, and now she can focus solely on the €555 NLH.

    Drea Karlsen: 955,000

    Iryna Tsikhanskaya moved all in for 200,000 from the Cut-off. Drea Karlsen re-shoved for 580,000 from the Small Blind, and eventually, the two contestants went heads-up to the flop.

    Iryna Tsikhanskaya: A8
    Drea Karlsen: KQ

    Karlsen took a solid lead on the 5Q5 flop, and the 97 runout sealed Tsikhanskaya’s fate. She bid farewell in sixth place for €1,120.

    UTG, Helina Tamm moved all in for 245,000. Right next to her, Drea Karlsen re-shoved for 345,000. The remaining players folded, and the two players turned over their cards.

    Helina Tamm: AK
    Drea Karlsen: QQ

    A classic coinflip situation would decide the winner of this rather hefty pot. Karlsen hit a set of queens on the K9Q flop, and Tamm wasn’t able to catch up as the board completed with 54. Tamm went out in seventh place for €910.

    During the first round of hand-by-hand play, there were four all in and call-situations on four different tables.

    The board read 1035 at Table 5, with roughly 60,000 in the middle. Rene Dreismann moved all in for 65,000, and was called by Kristers Muhins.

    Rene Dreismann: AA
    Kristers Muhins: J9

    “Too many outs,” one of the spectators declared as the dealer revealed the Q turn. That wasn’t the case, though, as Muhins did improve to a flush on the Q to send Dreismann to the rail.

    Such, all remaining players are now all guaranteed a €1,100 min-cash.

    Action folded to Drea Karlsen in the Cut-off, who opened to 20,000. Anzelika Urbane decided to defend from the Big Blind.

    Urbane check-called a 12,000 bet from Karlsen on the 4QK flop. Urbane checked again on the 2 turn, and Karlsen now forced her opponent all in for 78,000. After perhaps two minute’s consideration, Urbane made the call.

    Drea Karlsen: 85
    Anzelika Urbane: K10

    Urbane was ahead, but Karlsen hit her flush as the river was the 10. A disappointed Urbane went out in ninth place for €750.

    On Monday, the first two WSOP Circuit Ring Event winners were crowned during the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Ring Event #1: the €350 Mini Main Event was the first tournament to kick off the whole festival, and it’s safe to say the interest was big. 2025 is the first year the Mini Main Event is ring-certified here in Tallinn, and a whopping 954 entries took up the fight for eternal poker glory.

    After three days of play, it was Sweden’s Simon Hesserud Persson who emerged victorious. He built up a solid stack already on Day 1b, and he never really looked back. Simon was kind enough to spare ten minutes of his time for a short interview with the poker.pro live reporter.

    While the initial start of the tournament was a rocky road for Simon, he managed to turn things around rather quickly:

    “I late-registrated for Day 1b, perhaps three hours after the tournament had started. I went down to 12,000 from the 50,000 start stack fairly early. Then, I managed to triple up, and then double up, pretty much back-to-back.”

    One of Simon’s strengths in live poker is his ability to adapt to the other players. While he considers himself a somewhat aggressive player in general, he’s very conscious of his opponent’s styles of play, and if needed, he’ll tighten up and wait for a better spot. Simon recalls one very crucial hand from Day 1b:

    “I opened from middle position, and a somewhat crazy player called from the Cutoff. A short-stack then went all in, and when action came back to me, I decided to isolate with pocket sevens. I shoved almost 40 Big Blinds, but the Cutoff-player snap-called with jack-nine suit. Luckily, my sevens held up, and I now had one of the biggest stacks.”

    A big stack might be an understatement. In fact, the Swede entered Day 2 with the second-most in chips. During the later stages of Day 1b, he managed to convert his 500,000 stack to 1,345,000, just by opening pretty much any hand and stealing chips from the more passive players. This gave him great presumptions for a deep run, and the lowest he got during Day 2 was still well above the average stack.

    Needless to say, Day 2 was pretty rutine for Simon, and the next day, he entered the final table as third most in chips. Perhaps, some had Corne Scheel as the favorite to win the tournament; the Dutch chipleader had more than double of Norwegian Nicolai Austad, who was second in the counts. Simon, however, won the biggest pot of the tournament (at that particular stage) against Scheel. Doing so, he overtook the chiplead, and he never lost it on his way to the title.

    The tournament victory means Simon secures the biggest cash of his career so far. He’s far from a novice, though; it’s his fourth live tournament win, and he’s also a prominent online player. After Tallinn, the next live poker adventure for Simon will be the 2025 Battle of Malta, October 28-November 5.

    Simon is the third Swede to win a WSOP Circuit Ring. During the 2023 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, Alexander Hallenstam won the €660 PLO Hi-Lo. During last year’s festival, Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk won the €350 8-Game. Not only did Simon win the coveted ring and €45,700; he also won a $5,000 Ticket to Paradise. That means he’ll pack his bags and travel to the 2025 WSOP Paradise, which will be played at the Bamahas, December 4-18.

    He’s not done in Tallinn just yet, though. Simon is staying until the very end, and right now, he has a 170,000 stack in Ring Event #3: €555 NLH. With its 744 entries, it’s the biggest €555 tournament ever on Estonian soil. Will the Swede be able to win back-to-back WSOP Circuit Rings? Time will tell.

    UTG, Helina Tamm opened to 12,000. Svetlana Aubakirova then moved all in for 105,000 from the Button. When action came back to Tamm, she made the call.

    Svetlana Aubakirova: A10

    Tamm was ahead, and her pocket jacks held up as the board ran out 297103. Aubakirova became the first victim of Day 2, and the remaining ten players are now on the final table bubble.

  • Day Five’s Ring Event Action

    Rise and shine, poker lovers. Day 5 of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn is here, and there’s yet another day of unparalleled poker action to look forward to. The atmosphere is boiling in the Estonian capital, and the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel is the place to be.

    Today, two WSOP Circuit Ring Events will be resumed, and a winner will be crowned in one of them. Not only that, but two other Ring Events will also commence; one of them being the first flight of the much-anticipated €1,500 Main Event. Of course, there’s also some juicy side event action going on, as well as one of the most intriguing satellites of the whole festival. Let’s break down today’s menu and see what’s in store.

    Main Event, One of Four Ring Events Today

    This lovely Tuesday will kick off with Day 2 of Ring Event #3: €555 NLH. Through the three starting flights, a combined 285 out of 602 entries have made it through. €285,950 has been contributed to the prize pool; however, late registration will be open during the first two levels today. Day 2 will start on Blinds 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 Ante, and play will not conclude until only 16 players remain.

    Then, at 15:00, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for – Day 1a of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event. With a €1,000,000 guarantee, the hype around this tournament has been overwhelming, and no doubt is this the crème de lá cremé of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn.

    The remaining ladies in Ring Event #4: €350 NLH Queens will take their seats at 16:00. After yesterday’s entertaining Day 1-flight, which attracted 74 entries to create a €21,793 prize pool, the eleven survivors will continue the battle for the €6,480 first-place payout and the WSOP Circuit Ring. Norway’s Drea Karlsen is the current chipleader, but at this stage, anything can happen. The tournament will also be the first subject of this year’s live streaming; Andreas “Wiseguy” Höglund and George Sandford will kick off the broadcast at 16:30 (i.e., a 30-minute delay will be applied).

    Speaking of the ladies, there’ll also be a Ladies’ Meet and greet at 16:00. A Ladies-Only Freebuy Satellite will be conducted, and the top three will win a ticket each to the €200 NLH Queens side event, which is scheduled for August 2.

    Let’s leave the Ladies event, but stay at 16:00. Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5 should be a juicy one, and perhaps, Andria Gogelidze (who won yesterday’s Ring Event #2: €555 PLO4/5) will participate, competing for back-to-back PLO Ring Event titles.

    While this is it in terms of Ring Events during the day, there’s a bunch of intriguing side events, such as the €200 NLH WSOP Circuit Tallinn Special; at 20:30, a draw will be conducted, and a random player in the tournament will win a ticket to the €1,500 Main Event.

    Entries:1/744
    Prizes:€353,400

    Seated on the Button, Toni Niinivaara decided just to call the Big Blind. Roy Van Der Reijnst checked.

    Both players checked the 3Q9 flop. On the 2 turn, Van Der Reijnst check-called a 800,000 bet from Niinivaara.

    The river was the 10. Van Der Reijnst checked again, and Niinivaaaa fired a 2,000,000 bet. Then, Van Der Reijnst announced he was all in for 7,200,000. Niinivaara was visibly uncomfortable, and he asked the floor if he was allowed to stand up while he pondered his decision. After approval, he rose from his chair, asked the dealer from the count, and eventually, he made the call.

    Roy Van Der Reijnst: A4
    Toni Niinivaara: 22

    “Well played,” Van Der Reijnst gracefully saluted his opponent as he turned over his cards. The Dutch was out in second place for €42,250.

  • Andria Gogelidze Going for Back-to-back PLO Rings

    Andria Gogelidze
    Andria Gogelidze won Ring Event #2: €555 PLO4/5 during the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    Two days ago, Monday 28, Andria Gogelidze claimed his first WSOP Circuit Ring as he won Ring Event #2: €555 PLO4/5. The Georgian is not done yet, though, as he’s one of the 18 players remaining in Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5. Will he be able to get back-to-back circuit rings in the same game? The poker.pro live reporting team sat down with Andria to talk about his win, his journey in the €1,100, and his poker in general.

    Even though specializing in cash game, Andria proved his ability to adapt to the tournament format. He was a big stack all throughout the €555 event, and even though losing his chiplead Taago Tamm during heads-up, he managed to turn things around and claim the title.

    Andria Gogelidze

    One must admire how fast Andria’s been able to develop his PLO tournament skills:

    “I started studying PLO MTT’s roughly two months ago. I play Texas NLH as well, but I’m much better in PLO. In tournaments, you should be more aggressive than cash games. I think many players are a little bit too passive. My agression is the biggest key to my success.”

    5 Christoffer JensenDenmark€6,100
    6 Sami PulliainenFinland€4,500
    7 Kasper MellanenFinland€3,525

    Andria’s profile on The Hendon Mob confirms he’s mainly a cash game player. Don’t look down on his tournament resumé, though; at the 2024 WSOP Europe Rozvadov, he finished twenty-seventh out of 768 entries in the €10,350 Main Event for €40,700.

    Considering this reporter is far from a PLO specialist, Andria had to tell me whether the 4- or 5-card orbit is the most manageable:

    “I am better with four cards. I actually started to study som 6-card a while ago, but 5-card is my worst game out of the three.”

    Andria Gogelidze
    Andria Gogelidze

    As previously stated, Andria is one of the remaining players in the €1,100 edition, competing for his second WSOP Circuit Ring and back-to-back titles. €41,000 is the first-place payout, and after eliminating Markus Ristola during the last hand before the break, Andria is now fifth in the chip counts. Time will tell if he’ll be able to pull off what would be a very impressive second WSOP Ring Event win.

    The winner of Ring Event #1: €350 Mini Main Event, Simon Hesserud Persson, took his seat in Day 1b of Ring Event #5: 1,500 Main Event.

    From middle position, he opened to 600. Rasmus Lundström put in a 3-bet to 1,800, and another player called. Then, Hesserud Persson 4-bet, but the pre-flop action didn’t stop there as Lundström 5-bet to 10,000. Player X folded, before Hesserud Persson settled with a call.

    Hesserud Persson check-called a 2,000 continuation bet from Lundström on the 742 flop. Action repeated itself on the 4 turn, this time with a 12,000 bet. Hesserud Persson completed the check trifecta on the 7 river, prior to Lundström moving all in for perhaps 25,000. After some consideration, Hesserud Persson made the call.

    Rasmus Lundström: K4
    Simon Hesserud Persson: QQ

    With his trips of fours, Lundström sent Hesserud Persson to the rail. Time will tell if the Swede decides to re-enter.

On top of that, there’s an excellent opportunity to secure one’s seat to the €1,500 Main Event for a cheaper prize. Let’s dissect today’s schedule.

    Ring Events Galore

    Straight from the get-go at 12:00, the action will kick off with four Ring Events. For starters, it’s the conclusion of Ring Event #3: €555 NLH. 20 players are returning to Day 3, and Raivis Pucurs is currently the chipleader. This is the biggest ever €555 tournament in Estonia, and the remaining contestants are competing for the €62,100 first-place payout.

    Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5 will also wrap up today, meaning there’ll be more WSOP Ring owners crowned today. 29 players made it through yesterday’s Day 1; one of them being Andria Gogelidze, who won the €555 PLO 4/5 the other day. Will he be able to get back-to-back titles?

    Day 1b of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event also kicks off at noon. 47 players out of 125 entries came through yesterday’s 1a flight, meaning €161,595 has already been collected towards the €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

    There’s more Texas NLH action today, though, as Ring Event #7: €5,000 NLH also is scheduled to commence at 12:00. Last years edition of the WSOP Circuit Tallinn didn’t feature a Ring Event of this buy-in caliber; it’ll be intriguing to see which players decide to compete for high stakes glory.

    Then, at 17:00, it’s time for Ring Event #8: €1,100 8-Game. Rumors has it Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk will pay the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel a visit in an attempt to defend his title.

  • La Terra Returns to Tallinn for First Ever Sviten WSOP Circuit Ring Event

    Tomorrow, August 1, Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event is arguably the golden nugget on the tournament schedule. That being said, tomorrow will also be a historical day in the Estonian capital, as Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten, is scheduled to commence at 15:00. This is the first-ever WSOP Circuit Ring Event of the very popular game that is Sviten, and presumably, many experienced players will join the action in an attempt to write their name into the poker history books.

    There are many players who are capable of winning the title in this Five-Card Draw/PLO-hybrid of a game. One of them is Sweden’s Peter La Terra. Peter arrived to Tallinn the other day, and yesterday, he could be seen in Olympic Park Casino playing a €5/€5 Sviten cash game with fellow Scandinavians. He is, without a doubt, a serious contender for the trophy, and you’d better believe he’s here to win it.

    This reporter was lucky enough to have a small chat with Peter, who’s currently playing the €200 Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw side event.

    An impressive Resumé

    Peter has to be considered one of the most prominent Sviten players in the world. According to his profile on The Hendon Mob, he has two titles in the discipline and a horde of final table results. On top of that, he also has two Five-card Draw titles. A very impressive resumé, and he’s the most proud of a certain title that he got back in 2019:

    “2019, I won the €220 Pot-Limit Drawmaha Championship here in Tallinn. It was branded like the it was the “World Championship” of Sviten, but I expect tomorrow’s tournament to be much bigger.”

    During the 2024 wSOP Circuit Tallinn, Peter La Terra explained the rules of Sviten to host Teele Viira.

    The inaugural event is indeed expected to be a big one. Every Mixed Games enthusiast that you speak to here at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel all expresses their excitement for the tournament. An educated guess is that the unparalleled action that Sviten brings is why so many players are fond of this game.

    According to Peter, it’s crucial to know the strength of your hand in Sviten, something the average player may not be aware of:

    “The most common mistake I see amongst players is that they over-value their PLO hand and bet too frequently on the flop. You have better chances scooping the pot if you instead bet on the turn and/or the river.”

    While Peter hasn’t hit the books studying the Scandinavian-invented game, he’s been playing PLO and Five-card Draw more than most people on earth. When asked about his biggest strength in Sviten, Peter claims patience is the most important skill to master, not only in Sviten but in poker in general. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

    Who will win the WSOP Circuit Ring in tomorrow’s Sviten event?

    Considering the vast amount of skillful and merited players we’re expected to see tomorrow, I asked Peter if there’s any particular name who may appear in the field that he fears. “Not Peter Bergman, he should stick to selling sandwiches,” Peter jokes as Bergman bursts out in laugh from the other table. Seriously though, Peter is way too experienced to underestimate any player who’s seated at his table.

    Once again, the tournament starts at 15:00 tomorrow. Late registration will close at the end of Level 10, approximately at 21:45. It’s a two-day event; Day 1 will be played until 15 % of the field remains. Those who make it through will return to Day 2, August 2 at 12:00.

    This tournament will go down in poker history, and time will tell who manages to snag the prestigious WSOP Circuit Ring.

  • Siljander Closing in on Tarmi After €1,100 PLO4/5 Win

    Mathias Siljander won Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5 During the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    Yesterday was the conclusion of Ring Event #6: €1,100 PLO4/5. It was a star-spangled final table, featuring players such like Riku Koivurinne (who was the title defender) and Andria Gogelidze (who was going for back-to-back titles after winning Ring Event #3: €555 PLO4/5). All seven players put all of their poker skills on full display, and in the end, it was Finland’s Mathias Siljander who was crowned the winner. This poker.pro reporter was fortunate enough to have a small chat with Siljander.

    With the €41,000 he got for winning, Siljander’s total live tournament earnings now exceed €1,000,000, according to his profile on The Hendon Mob. That’s not what’s he’s currently chasing, though:

    “I am chasing Roope Tarmi, but I don’t think this win was enough. So I guess I have to win the Main Event as well.”

    5 Renars SkanisLatvia€9,250
    6 Riku KoivurinneFinland€6,900
    7 Antti VeteläinenFinland€5,350

    It was a joyful journey for Mathias more or less the tournament throughout. Even though being matched up with some competent opponents initially, he managed to build up a big stack fairly quickly:

    “I don’t think I lost an all-in during the whole tournament. The seat draw for the first table was bad; there were only good, Finnish players at the table, probably better than me. I got lucky here and there, and now, here we are.”

    When asked whether he preferred the four- or five-card orbit, Mathias was very straight forward:

    “5-card PLO is not a great game. You have to be tight, and that’s no fun. If you have a big stack it’s an okay game, but otherwise, I don’t like it.”

    Mathias is hungry for more, and today, he managed to bag 155,000 from Day 1d of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event. Patience was his key to get the decent stack. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint,” Mathias preached when we briefly discussed multi-table tournament strategies.

    “I’ve been patient, letting the other guys play. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

    t’s safe to say Mathias has some experience when it comes to winning big Main Event titles in the Estonian capital. In fact, he won the €1,100 Main Event during the 2024 Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition for €130,300, his biggest live cash in his career so far.

    Time will tell if Mathias manages to do a deep run in the Main Event, and pass his rival Roope Tarmi on The Hendon Mob rankings.

  • Krzysztof Budka Wins Ring Event #8: €1,100 8-Game for €22,390

    Entries:1/79
    Prizes:€75,050

    With the 5 as his revealed card, Pasi Laihinen brought in for 30,000. Krzysztof Budka, having the 7 in front of him, raised to 100,000. Laihinen made the call.

    The dealer dealt Budka the 10 and Laihinen the 5. Laihinen bet 100,000 and Budka called.

    Budka then got the 2 and Laihinen the 4. Laihinen now bet 200,000, before Budka forced his opponent all in for roughly 400,000 in total. Laihinen made the call.

    Krzysztof Budka: 76 / 7102
    Pasi Laihinen: 34 / 554

    Budka was dealt 97 as his two final cards, while Laihinen got 79. Budka won the pot, and with that, he eliminated his heads-up opponent Laihinen.

    That means that Krzystof Budka is the winner of Ring Event #8: €1,000 8-Game. He conquered a field consisting of 79 entries, and he during heads-up, he really showcased that he masters of all of the games. For his achievements, he gets the WSOP Circuit Ring, the $5,000 Ticket to Paradise, and the €22,390 first-place payout.

  • What’s the Best Starting Hand in Sviten?

    During the break of Ring Event €5: €1,500 Main Event, this reporter ran into Riku Koivurinne and Scott Kenyon. God knows what they were talking about before I interrupted them.

    Knowing they both are Mixed Games enthusiasts, I asked them if they’re excited for Ring Event #: €555 Sviten. This is the first time ever that the Five-card Draw/PLO-hybrid game is WSOP Circuit Ring Event-certified, and presumably, many players are excited about this one.

    Indeed, Kenyon plans to enter the tournament. For Koivurinne, it depends on whether he makes Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event. Currently, he’s in Day 1d with a 90,000 stack (average is 68,956). Considering Koivurinne won the Sviten event last year (once again, not a Ring Event back then), I thought he could help me answer the age-old question: what is the best starting hand in poker?

    There doesn’t seem to be a 100 % known answer, though. One can argue for the royal flush since you lock up half of the pot directly, but it may not connect that good with the community cards. Kenyon believes a middle-card straight flush may be the way to go. Perhaps, time will tell during tomorrow’s tournament.

    A short-stacked Jyri Merivirta moved all in for 15,000 UTG. Pasi Laihinen raised to 60,000 from the Button, before Thor Morstol made it 90,000 from the Big Blind. Laihinen wasn’t done and raised again to 120,000. Morstol made the call.

    Morstol and Laihinen discarded one card each on the first draw, while Merivirta got rid of two. Morstol then check-called a 30,000 bet from Laihinen.

    On the second draw, Morstol discarded one, Merivirta two, and Laihinen stood pat. Morstol checked, Laihinen bet 60,000, Morstol raised to 120,000 and Laihinen called.

    Morstol and Laihinen both stood pat on the third and final draw, while Merivirta bought one. Morstol bet 60,000 and Laihinen made the call.

    Jyri Merivirta: K7642
    Thor Morstol: 76432

  • 8-Game Finale and More on Day 7

    The best way to describe the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn is as a mighty train of joy that never stops rolling. Next stop on the ride is Day 7, and just like all the previous stations, this too is a marvelous destination. Today, one new WSOP Circuit Ring winner will be crowned, as it’s the final day of Ring Event #8: €1,100 8-Game. There’ll also be a bunch of more players on the hunt for glory in Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event, as there’s not one, but two starting flights on the schedule. In terms of side events, there’s exciting news in the form of the €750 NLH Progressive Bounty & Mystery Bounty. Let’s break down what is yet another day in poker paradise.

    8-Game Champion to be Crowned

    Being a poker player at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel today is like being a kid in a candy store; everything you lay your eyes on, you want. The first lollipop is Day 1d of the €1,500 Main Event. Through the previous three starting flights, a total of 144 players have secured their bags for Day 2. 361 entries have been made in total, which means that €487,350 already has been contributed to the guaranteed €1,000,000.

    Sampo Ryynänen is the chipleader of Ring Event #8: €1,100 8-Game going into Day 2

    The next Ring Event on the schedule is Day 2 of the €1,100 8-Game. 8-Game is one of the most popular Mixed Games, and yesterday’s Day 1-flight scored 79 entries. 16 players made it through to Day 2, who will resume play at 13:00 today.

    The third Ring Event-installment is Day 1e of the €1,500 Main Event, scheduled to commence at 19:00. While this is what’s going on today in terms of Ring Events, there are a few side events on the menu, one of which is very intriguing.

    Of course, poker.pro is referring to the €750 NLH Progressive Bounty & Mystery Bounty. This is a special one; €240 goes to the prize pool, €200 is the initial bounty on all players, and €230 is going towards the Mystery Bounty prize pool. The Mystery Bounties will be in play once players are in the money. This truly is an interesting tournament that players do not want to miss.

    Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event has concluded with 78 players bagging their chips for tomorrow’s Day 3. If this reporter is to be trusted, Karolis Kutkauskas should be the chip leader going into Day 3 with 3,150,000.

    It was quite the hectic second day of the highly-anticipated Main Event. The €1,000,000 guarantee was surpassed and with a €200,200 first-place payout, the stakes are high for Day 3. Some notable bustouts in the field are Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi, reigning Main Event champion Aurimas Stanevicius, and this year’s winner of the €1,100 PLO4/5, Mathias Siljander.

  • A Somewhat Strange Hand

    Level 18:6,000/12,000 (12,000)
    Entries:80/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    The board read 1052 with 94,000 in the middle. Ruslan Stserbjuk was the first to act, and he spent a somewhat long time thinking over his decision. Eventually, the floor called the clock on Stserbjuk, and he was given 30 seconds to make his decision. Eventually, his clock went down to zero, and chip leader Karolis Kutkauskas then bet 20,000. Quietly, Stserbjuk announced he was all in for perhaps 300,000. Kutkauskas immediately made the call.

    Ruslan Stserbjuk: K7
    Karolis Kutkauskas: Q2

    Stserbjuk was alive, but he wasn’t able to improve as the board completed with the 43 runout. Such, Kutkauskas’ already impressive stack grew even bigger.

    Karolis Kutkauskas: 3,350,000
    Ruslan Stserbjuk: 0

  • Another Insane Pot send Helppi to the Rail

    Juha Helppi
    Level 18:6,000/12,000 (12,000)
    Entries:88/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    From the Hi-jack, Karolis Kutkauskas opened to 25,000. Juha Helppi called from the Button, and Jari-Pekka Juhola defended his Big Blind.

    Action was checked to Helppi on the 749 flop, and the Finnish poker legend bet 47,000. Juhola and Kutkauskas both made the call.

    Juhola and Kutkauskas both checked again on the 10 turn. Helppi now bet 225,000, and after a fold from Juhola, Kutkauskas immideately forced Helppi all in for roughly 800,000. After perhaps five minutes worth of consideration. Helppi made the call.

    Karolis Kutkauskas: J8
    Juha Helppi: 77

    Helppi didn’t improve to a full house as the 6 fell on the river. Kutkauskas expressed great joy as he won the insanely large pot, and eliminating one of the most skillful opponenets in the process.

    Karolis Kutkauskas: 2,700,000
    Juha Helppi: 0

    Entries:99/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    UTG, Stephen Groom opened to 20,000. When action came to Michel Karim on the Button, he re-raised to 65,000. Groom then put in a four-bet to 180,000. Karim made the call.

    Groom continued for 75,000 on the A8J flop, and Karim made the call fairly quickly. Groom sized up to 195,000 on the 4 turn. After receiving the count, Karim again called.

    Groom wasted little time before going all in on the 5 turn, effectively forcing Karim all in for 350,000. Karim took a good five minutes before making the call.

    Stephen Groom: AA
    Michel Karim: AQ

    After what perhaps is the biggest pot so far in the tournament, Karim was sent to the rail.

    Stephen Groom: 1,620,000
    Michel Karim: 0

    Entries:114/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    De-Han Kim opened to 16,000 from the Cut-off. Within half of a second, Ville-Tapio Mesiranta moved all in for 55,000 from the Button. Kim called quickly.

    Ville-Tapio Mesiranta: 77
    De-Han Kim: AK

  • The Bubble has Burst

    Level 18:5,000/10,000 (10,000)
    Entries:135/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    The floor decided to commence with hand-by-hand play when 137 players remained. When 136 were left, there were four all-in and call-situations on four different table. Two of the short stacks doubled up, and another one was eliminated.

    Cao Doan moved all in from the Button for 66,000, and Yngve Lommerud called from the Big Blind.

    Cao Doan: KJ
    Yngve Lommerud: Q8

    Doan took a solid lead on the 76K, but as we all know, poker can be a brutal game sometimes. The board completed with 8Q, giving Lommerud a runner-runner two-pair. Such, Doan was eliminated in brutal fashion.

    That means that the remaining 135 players all are in the money.

    Yngve Lommerud: 645,000
    Cao Doan: 0

  • Three Kings

    Luka Sorainen
    Level 16:4,000/8,000 (8,000)
    Entries:140/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Luka Sorainen opened to 16,000 from UTG+1. Karolis Kutkauskas (Cut-off), and big-stacked Juha Helppi (Big Blind) both made the call.

    Action was checked to Kutkauskas on the K69 flop, who continued for 15,000. Both of his opponents made the call.

    All three players checked the K turn. On the J river, it was once again checked to Kutkauskas who now bet 34,000. Helppi folded, but Sorainen snap-called.

    Kutkauskas revealed his KQ, which appeared to be the best hand seeing as Sorainen mucked.

    Juha Helppi: 1,210,000
    Karolis Kutkauskas: 440,000
    Luka Sorainen: 330,000

    After David Marfil opened to 16,000, Martin Piik went all in from the Small Blind for 102,000. Jan Holte re-shoved for 308,000 from the Big Blind, and Marfil folded.

    Martin Piik: 88
    Jan Holte: AA

    Piik took a solid lead on the 810J flop, but Holte was saved in the end as the board completed JA. He got some extra chips and knocked Piik out.

    Jan Holte: 410,000
    Martin Piik: 0

    Renars Skanis
    Level 16:4,000/8,000 (8,000)
    Entries:152/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Renars Skaris opened to 16,000 from the Lo-jack. Erik Lindqwist then re-raised to 48,000. Skaris moved all in for roughly 200,000, and Lindqwist made the call.

    Renars Skaris: AQ
    Erik Lindqwist: QQ

    Lindqwist managed to dodge an ace on the 795K3 board, eliminating Skaris doing so.

    Erik Lindqwist: 555,000
    Renars Skaris: 0

  • Erlandsson Wins a Decent One

    Level 15:3,000/6,000 (6,000)
    Entries:156/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Hans Erlandsson, who finished fourteenth in EPT Paris 2024, opened to 13,000 from UTG+1. Gunnar Wedde made the call from the Lo-jack.

    Erlandsson fired a 8,000 continuation bet on the 597 flop. On the K turn, Erlandsson check-called a 17000 bet from Wedde. Both players then checked the A river.

    Erlandsson turned over AQ which was the best hand.

    Hans Erlandsson: 400,000
    Gunnar Wedde: 280,000

    Martijn Blom opened to 12,000 UTG. Seated right next to him, Ignas Navickas three-bet to 32,000. Back to Blom who moved all in for 98,000 in total. Navickas made the call.

    Martijn Blom: AK
    Ignas Navickas: JJ

    It was a classic coinflip scenario, and today, jacks held up on the 5591010 runout.

    Ignas Navickas: 428,000
    Martijn Blom: 0

  • Parkkinen Knows What he’s Doing

    Level 14:2,000/4,000 (4,000)
    Entries:215/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Maksim Kules opened to 10,000 from the Button. Finnish poker legend Seppo Parkkinen defended his Big Blind.

    Parkkinen donk-bet 10,000 on the 67K flop, and Kules made the call. On the 9 turn, Parkkinen forced his opponent all in for 65,000. Kules folded and received praise from his opponent in form of a verbal “good fold”.

    Seppo Parkkinen: 131,000
    Maksim Kules: 65,000

  • Sick Hand Sends Apryan to the Rail

    Aleksandre Apryan
    Level 14:2,000/4,000 (4,000)
    Entries:238/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Aleksandre Apryan (Button and Gundars Zelcs were heads-up to the 564 flop, with 56,000 in the middle. Both players checked the flop, then, before the dealer had revealed the turn card, Zelcs moved all in, putting his opponent at risk for roughly 60,000. The dealer turned over the J, and Apryan made the call.

    Gundars Zelcs: A5
    Aleksandre Apryan: QJ

    There were some arguing on the table whether Apryan should have been allowed to see the turn card, considering Zelcs had moved all in before it was dealt. The floor confirmed that Apryan was entitled to the information, and all was good.

    Sadly for Apryan, though, Zelcs improved to trips on the 5 river. “Oh, you do him dirty, mate,” table mate Allan Arjut said, referring to the unfortunate runout for Apryan.

    Gundars Zelcs: 265,000
    Aleksandre Apryan: 0

    Action folded to Modestas Kryzanauskas, who opened to 6,000 from the Cut-off. Jerry Ödeen then moved all in for 36,500 from the Small Blind. Igor Pihela Sr. put in a big stack of green 25,000 chips, and Kryzanauskas folded.

    Jerry Ödeen: AQ
    Igor Pihela Sr.: 44

    It was a flip, but Ödeen came up short on the 31023J runout.

  • Meanwhile, Sviten has Started

    While poker.pro will focus mainly on the €1,500 Main Event, there will be occasional updates from the two other Ring Events that are on today’s schedule: Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten, and Ring Event #10: €1,100 Mystery Bounty.

    Sviten just started. It’s the first time ever a Sviten tournament is being played as a WSOP Circuit-event, and many players are contending for the ring. One of them is Peter La Terra, who poker.pro interviewed yesterday.

    Level 12:1,000/2,500 (2,500)
    Entries:304/855
    Prizes:TBA

    Table 3 is quite the star-packed table. The WSOP Bracelet winner Jerry Ödeen, and the WSOP Circuit Ring winner Ranno Sootla are two of the players battling it out on the table.

    A small-stacked Sootla moved all in for 26,500 UTG. Ödeen re-shoved for 45,000 from the Button, and the two players were heads-up to the flop.

    Ranno Sootla: 98
    Jerry Ödeen: 1010

    Ödeen was ahead, but Sootla picked up all the draws on the 107A flop. He improved to a flush on the 2 turn, and the 8 river didn’t help Ödeen.

    Ranno Sootla: 60,500
    Jerry Ödeen: 18,500

  • Assersen Triples with Aces

    Level 12:1,000/2,500 (2,500)
    Entries:308/846
    Prizes:TBA

    Vidar Assersen opened to 9,000 from UTG+1. Nicolas Alvariza then three-bet to 20,000, before No Filter Poker Series-founder Mounir Tajiou moved from the Button all in for 40,000. Assersen re-shoved for 43,000, and Alvariza made the call, having both of his opponents covered.

    Mounir Tajiou: 88
    Vidar Assersen: AA
    Nicolas Alvariza: AK

    Assersen was ahead, and the best hand held up on the 2J310A board. Tajiou was eliminated in the process, but perhaps he’ll re-enter.

    Romans Tumulis opened to 6,000 from the Cut-off. The 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn Main Event champion, Aurimas Stanevicius, defended his Big Blind.

    Stanevicius check-called a 6,000 continuation bet from Tumulis on the QJ9 flop. He checked again on the 9 turn. Tumulis now bet 13,000; again, Stanevicius made the call.

    Both players checked the A river. Stanevicius showed KQ, which was good as Tumulis mucked his hand.

  • Main Event Day 2 and More on Today’s Schedule

    It’s Day 8 of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, which means that one week of this golden nugget of a poker festival already has passed. Time is flying in the Estonian capital, as are the cards and the chips on the poker tables; it’s safe to say the action has been mezmerizing.

    On today’s schedule Day 2 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event is the highlight. That being said, there are two other Ring Events on the schedule, both very intriguing.

    After five starting flights, it’s now time for Day 2 of the €1,500 Main Event. 764 entries have been made in the tournament so far, and 327 are returning to Day 2. Registration is open for two more 60-minute levels; it’s an educated guess that the total number of entries will exceed 800 by some margin. The chip leader going into Day 2 is Markku Koplimaa.

    At 15:00, it’s one of the most hyped events of the whole circuit. Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten marks the first time ever a Sviten tournament is WSOP Circuit Ring certified, and presumably, all Mixed Games players should be very interested competing for this inaugural title. The tournament is a two-day event, and Day 1 will be played down to 15 % of the field.

    Ten, at 18:00, it’s Day 1 of Ring Event #10: €1,100 Mystery Bounty. Nothing beats the thrill of a live poker mystery bounty tournament. Day 1 will play 10 levels, before the survivors will bag n’ tag.

    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Rasmus Lundström bet roughly 660,000, and left himself with 5,000 behind. Gonzalo Soriano called from the Big Blind, and being under the impression Lundström had moved all in, Soriano turned over his AA holdings.

    Lundström then went all in for his remaining 5,000 on the J75 flop. Naturally, Soriano made the call.

    Ritvars Cekalins & Jenny Westerlund
    Level 21:15,000/30,000 (30,000)
    Entries:28/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    From the Cut-off, Jenny Westerlund opened to 65,000. Markku Koplimaa called from the Big Blind.

    Koplimaa check-called a 50,000 bet from Westerlund on the 510Q flop. Koplimaa checked again on the J turn, and Westerlund now bet 125,000. Then, Koplimaa raised to 375,000. Westerlund wouldn’t have it, and she re-raised to 825,000. Koplimaa wasn’t done yet; he moved all in for 1,200,000, and Westerlund snap-called.

    Markku Koplimaa: K8
    Jenny Westerlund: A3

    Absolutely brutal for Koplimaa, and the 5 river was a pure formality. He was eliminated, as Westerlund’s stack grew to enormous proportions.

    Jenny Westerlund: 3,960,000
    Markku Koplimaa: 0

  • Brutal Cooler Makes Big Pot

    Roy Van Der Reijnst
    Level 21:10,000/25,000 (25,000)
    Entries:34/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    The board read QK67 with 940,000 in the middle. Chaofei Wang bet 425,000, Roy Van Der Reijnst quickly forced his opponent all in for an additional 1,260,000, and Wang snap-called.

    Roy Van Der Reijnst: QQ
    Chaofei Wang: KK

    A brutal cooler, and Van Der Reijnst didn’t improve to quads on the 5 river. The enormous pot went the way of Wang.

    Chaofei Wang: 3,460,000
    Roy Van Der Reijnst: 2,440,000

  • Final Table in Sviten

    Peter La Terra

    The final table of Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten is being played in the same room as the Main Event. There are only six players remaining battling for this first-ever WSOP Circuit Ring Event of Sviten.

    A short-stacked Peter La Terra just moved all in from UTG for 95,000. Action folded to Sami Säämänen, who made the call from the Big Blind.

    After the dealer dealt the 8A8 flop, Säämänen discarded two cards. La Terra bought one new; he declinded the 2 and got another one face down.

    Peter La Terra: KKJJ10
    Sami Säämänen: A5563

    The board completed 9Q, which meant that La Terra scooped the pot with two-pair on the hand and a straight on the board.

    Sami Säämänen: 745,000
    Peter La Terra: 205,000

    Entries:38/888
    Prizes:€1,138,860

    Martin Surovec opened to 55,000 from the Lo-jack. Roy Van Der Reijnst then three-bet to 130,000 from the Button, prior to Eldars Sadih-Zade moving all in for roughly 1,150,000. Surovec quickly folded, but Van Der Reijnst snap-called.

    Roy Van Der Reijnst: QQ
    Eldars Sadih-Zade: 99

    ‘Sadih-Zade picked up additional outs on the 678 flop, but Van Der Reijnst managed to avoid disaster as the board completed 87. Van Der Reijnst sent another player to the rail as his already impressive stack increased.

    Roy Van Der Reijnst: 4,000,000
    Eldars Sadih-Zade: 0

    Borja Martinez opened to 40,000 from UTG+1. Jenny Westerlund, seated in the Small Blind, was the sole caller.

    Action went check-check on the 6 river. Westerlund turned over A9 for a flopped full house; now that’s a decent flop.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: AJ
    Jack Kiriakus: AQ

  • Five Ring Events During Day 9

    Kenneth Svendsen & Even Rislov

    Time flies when you’re having fun, they say. That has proven to be the case during the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Eight days have flew by at rapid speed, and today, it’s the second-to-last day. That doesn’t imply that the fun is anywhere near done, though. In fact, today’s tournament schedule is one of the most packed one so far, with no less than five WSOP Circuit Ring Events on the schedule.

    Kicking things off is Day 3 of Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event. What a journey this tournament has been so far. Five starting flights led up to yesterday’s Day 2. When registration closed after the two first 60-minute levels, it was confirmed the tournament had registered 888 entries. Not only is this the biggest WSOP Circuit Main Event ever on Estonian soil, but the €1,00,000 guarantee has also been shattered (€1,138,860). The 88 remaining survivors will resume the battle for the €200,200 first-place payout at noon.

    Also starting at 12:00 is Day 2 of Ring Event #9: €555 Sviten. This is the first-time ever a Sviten tournament is WSOP Circuit Ring certified, and out of the 113 entries, 17 player remain. Patric Mattsson is the chip leader, and time will tell if he manages to navigate his way all the way to the title.

    One hour later, it’s time for the conclusion of Ring Event #10: €1,100 Mystery Bounty. The defending champion Rasmus Lundström is not one of the 41 players still in (out of a total 210 entries) as he’s still in the Main Event. Instead, there’ll be a new winner; will it be the current chip leader Andrius Mazurkevicius who emerges victorious, or perhaps another candidate?

    Ring Event #11: €3,000 NLH is also starting at 13:00. This is the tournament that holds the second-biggest buy-in of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, and presumably, many players will throw their name into the competition.

    Stephen Groom

    Last in terms of WSOP Circuit Ring Events, it’s Ring Event #12: €350 Online Event. Registration is open for the tournament in the OlyBet online poker client, and this virtual affair is a nice addition to what has already been a superb live poker event.

  • Jenny Westerlund Writes History after Winning the €1,500 Main Event during the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn

    The 2025 Wsop Circuit Tallinn has officially concluded. It was a live poker festival that will remembered for years to come for many different reasons. Featuring no less that 12 unique WSOP Circuit Ring Events, the €1,500 Main Event was the one tournament that was on everyone’s lips. With a €1,000,000 tournament guarantee, the hype before the event was unparalleled, and it’s safe to say it didn’t disappoint. Not only is there a new WSOP Circuit Main Event winner, but a new chapter has also been written in global poker history, as the first-ever female winner of a WSOP Circuit Event in Tallinn has now been crowned.

    Westerlund Claims Maiden WSOP Circuit Title

    Poker players from all across the world travelled to Tallinn, Estonia, to participate in what would prove to be one of the biggest ever live poker events in Northern Europe. The tables were set at the luxurious Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel, and with a tournament schedule packed to the absolute brim, there were events for everyone, no matter one’s preferred game and/or buy-in.

    What was always set to be the undisputed star of the show, however, was the €1,500 Main Event. The tournament boosted a €1,000,000 guarantee, and even though that’s an incomprehensibly large number, it would be shattered. The tournament registered 888 entries, which created a €1,138,860 prize pool. Not only was there the €200,200 first-place payout up top for the winner, but also an added $5,000 Ticket to Paradise (which includes a $2,700 tournament buy-in and hospitality during the 2025 WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas) and, most importantly, the coveted WSOP Circuit Ring.

    It was a three-day affair with five starting flights, and the top 138 players all were entitled to a €2,850 min-cash. After Day 3, 78 players had become nine, and these brave competitors all bagged their chips for the final table which was scheduled to be played on August 3, 12:00.

    Eventually, D-day came and the players took their seats. Leading the field going into the final table was Czech Martin Surovec, and right behind him was the only woman left standing in the tournament, Sweden’s Jenny Westerlund. Entering the tournament with the shortest stack was Karolis Kutkauskas. The Lithuanian had been the chip leader at one point during Day 3, but on the final stage, he resumed the competition with 17 Big Blinds. Eventually, he got it all in with JJ, and sadly for him, he got called by the AA of Finland’s Jari-Pekka Juhola. As such, Kutkauskas was the first one to bid farewell from the final table, receiving €14,200 for his ninth-place finish.

    The next one to hit the rail was the sole remaining Brit, Stephen Groom. All of his chips went in before the flop with AK, but the board did not help him crack the pocket kings of Surovec. For his feat, Groom was awarded €19,500.

    Jari-Pekka Juhola

    Juhola and Elias Vääräniemi were the two Finnish players left in the tournament, competing to claim a fourth Finnish WSOP Circuit Ring Event win during the festival. However, Juhola was the next player to be eliminated, as Estonian Igor Pihela Sr knocked him out in absolutely brutal fashion, hitting a two-outer on the turn. Juhola hit the payout desk to collect his €25,060 paycheck.

    One of the biggest story lines before the final table was the sunshine run of David Vinaya. Earlier during the festival, he had claimed victory in Ring Event #7: €5,000 NLH for €297,984, and he was arguably one of the most skillful players on the final table. It wouldn’t be back-to-back wins for the Norwegian, though, as he went out in sixth place for €33,100 after a decent call from Poland’s Krzysztof Chmielowski under pressure.

    David Vinaya

    Meanwhile, Vääräniemi was trying his best to keep the Finnish flag waving in the tournament, but some lost pots had taken their toll on his stack. Eventually, the math dictated that he needed to put it all in with pocket fours, and he lost the coin flip against Chmielowski. Vääräniemi bid farewell in fifth place for €46,000.

    Four players now remained, and it would take some time before Surovec would go out in fourth place for €62,500. He got it in good against Westerlund as his A10 dominated her A9 holdings, but Westerlund hit a nine on the flop and never looked back.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski

    Three left then, Pihela Sr being the shortest stack. During the very first hand of three-handed play, he put in a big three-bet after an initial open from Chmielowski. Westerlund then four-bet, trying to force Chmielowski to fold. Chmielowski wouldn’t have it, though, and he moved all in. Much to the rail’s surprise, Pihela Sr and Westerlund both made the call.

    The players turned over their cards, and Chmielowski’s QQ were up against the A6 of Pihela Sr, and the AJ of Westerlund. Everyone was full aware of the importance of this pot; all chips were in the middle, and if Chmielowski’s queens would be good after the runout, he would have a commanding chiplead. If Westerlund were able to suck out, she would be crowned the champion.

    The 293 brought eight additional outs to Westerlund. Then, she took a commanding lead as the A came on the turn. She could now taste victory, and Chmielowski was looking for the case Q on the river to stay alive. Much to Westerlund’s delight, the dealer turned over the 5, and just like that, it was all over. Pihela Sr got €90,200 for his third-place finish, while runner-up Chmielowski was awarded €128,500.

It’s the biggest-ever cash for the former poker dealer, and without any doubt, her joyful celebration together with her rail will be a moment they all will cherish forever.

    That concludes the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn. It truly was one for the ages, and the 12 WSOP Circuit Rings have now all found their new owners. While the action in Tallinn may be over, the circuit doesn’t stop. In fact, the 2025 WSOP Circuit Bratislava started on August 1, and after August 12, another WSOP Circuit Main Event champion will be crowned.

    During the first hand of three-handed play, Krzysztof Chmielowski opened to 600,000 UTG. Within a split second, Igor Pihela Sr then three-bet to 4,200,000. Now, the action was on Jenny Westerlund. The Swedish chip leader decided to four-bet to 10,000,000. Chmielowski took an extra peak on his cards, went into the tank for a minute or two, before moving all in himself for 14,000,000 in total. Pihela Sr committed his last 1,100,000 for the call, and Westerlund called for an additional 4,000,000.

    Krzysztof Chmielowski

    Krzysztof Chmielowski: QQ
    Igor Pihela Sr: A6
    Jenny Westerlund: AJ

    All the tournament chips were now in the middle. Westerlund had both of her opponents at risk, while Chmielowski would be a huge chip leader if his queens were to hold. It was time for the flop.

    There were all diamonds on the 293, giving Westerlund an additional eight outs. The turn wasn’t a diamond, but the A turn was enough to put Westerlund in a very solid lead. Chmielowski was now drawing to one out on the river, the Q. It was the 5 that finished the board, though, and such, Pihela Sr and Chmielowski both were eliminated in the same hand. Since Chmielowski had the superior stack, he got the €128,500 second-place payout, while Pihela Sr got €90,200 for his third-place finish.

    Jenny Westerlund: 44,000,000

    Martin Surovec: A10
    Jenny Westerlund: A9

    Surovec had his opponent in rough shape, but it was Westerlund who took the lead on the 597 flop. The 8 turn gave both players additional draws, but, in the end, it was Westerlund who emerged victorious as the river was the 7. Surovec bid farewell in fourth place for €62,500.

    Action went check-check on the 62Q flop. Westerlund bet 500,000 on the 3 turn, and Chmielowski made the call.

    The river was the K and Westerlund now bet 1,400,000. Then, Chmielowski put in a raise to 3,500,000. Westerlund gave a look of confusion, and eventually, she made the call.

    Chmielowski turned over 103 for a rivered flush, and Westerlund mucked her hand. Her QQ holdings were revealed on the stream.

    Surovec check-called a 400,000 bet from Pihela Sr on the 7K2 flop. Surovec checked again on the Q, and Pihela Sr now sized up to 725,000. Surovec wasn’t going anywhere.

    Surovec checked for a third time on the 4 river. Pihela Sr bet 450,000, and Surovec made the call.

    It was a classic flip scenario, and unfortunately for Vääräniemi, his pair didn’t hold up as the board spelled out 22J3Q. He bid farewell in fifth place for €46,000, and all his chips went the way of Chmielowski.

    The winner of Ring Event #3: €5,000 NLH, David Nivaya, opened to 400,000 UTG. Krzysztof Chmielowski called from the Cut-off, and Igor Pihela Sr joined in on the fun from the Small Blind.

    Action was checked to Chmielowski on the 2K7 flop, who bet 425,000. Pihela Sr folded, before Nivaya announced a raise to 1,200,000. Chmielowski double-checked his holdings before making the call.
