Nikunlassi Takes From Westerlund
Jari Nikunlassi Level 11: 1,000/1,500 (1,500) Entries: 310/930 Prizes: €1,000,000 The board read 2♦6♥3♠A♦5♠ with perhaps 20,000 in the middle. Jenny Westerlund (Lo-jack) bet 10,800, and the decision was on Jari Nikunlassi. He contemplated his decision for a minute or two before ultimately making the call.
Jenny Westerlund: J♣10♣
Jari Nikunlassi: A♠J♠Top pair was good for Nikunlassi, and he took down the decently-sized pot.
Jenny Westerlund: 171,000
Jari Nikunlassi: 122,000 -
Franke Might Multi-Table
Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk Level 11: 1,000/1,500 (1,500) Entries: 316/927 Prizes: €1,000,000 Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk plays a decent stack in Day 2 of the €1,100 Main Event. He’s not a big Texas NLH fan, but more a huge Mixed Games enthusiast. That being said, he has some impressive two-card results on his resume from the past.
Action folded to Gintautas Danilevicius, who opened to 3,000 from the Cut-off. Sergejs Serkovs (Button), Franke (Small Blind), and Erio Ermann all made the call. Franke then donk-bet 4,000 on the 6♥2♣10♥ flop; Danilevicius was the only one who decided to stick around. Franke continued on the aggressive path with a 6,500 bet on the A♥ turn, only to be faced with a 13,000 min-raise from his Lithuanian opponent. Franke looked at his hole cards and revealed his Q♠Q♣ holdings for the reporter before mucking swiftly.
“Aiyaah!” he let out as Danilevicius showed 5♣3♣. Time will tell if Franke is still alive in the Main Event at 17:00, when the €555 PL Sviten Championship kicks off. It’s his favorite game, and he wouldn’t want to miss it for the world.
Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk: 128,000

We’re Live; Segins is Out
Level 11: 1,000/1,500 (1,500) Entries: 333/915 Prizes: €1,000,000 This live reporter set the new Guinness World Record for fastest sprint to Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel. The first encounters captured went down at Table 3.
Romperto Koskinidis opened to 3,500 from the Button, and Aigars Petrovs made the call before Eero Ihaksi moved all in for 15,200 from the Big Blind. Koskinidis folded, but Petrovs decided he was priced in to make the call.
Eero Ihaksi: A♦5♠
Aigars Petrovs: 9♥6♦Ihaksi was looking somewhat good for a double up, but the 9♣K♥9♠ flop was far from ideal for him. The board completed with 4♥3♣, and his tournament life came to an end. That being said, late registration is still open for roughly three hours, so perhaps he will rebuy.
Aigars Petrovs: 80,000
Eero Ihaksi: 0 -
Day 2 has Kicked Off; Coverage Soon to Commence
Ranno Sootla Level 10: 600/1,200 (1,200) Entries: 333/881 Prizes: €1,000,000 Welcome, fellow poker enthusiasts, to the seventh day of live coverage of the 2026 Kings of Tallinn. Today is a big one, seeing as Day 2 of the €1,100 Main Event is on the schedule.
In fact, the tournament has already begun. This poker.pro live reporter has experienced some unforeseen incidents, which stopped me from being on-site at 12:00 when the tournament kicked off. Everything’s settled now, though, and the on-site live coverage will commence within 30 minutes.
Late registration is open during the first four 60-minute levels of Day 2. Below are the chip counts starting Day 2.

Maciej Komorowski: 4♦4♥
Vu Vuong: 5♣4♣Not ideal for Vuong, and Komorowski’s small pocket pair would prove to be good as the board spelled out K♠J♥9♠7♣7♠.
Vu Vuong: 125,000

Temperature’s Rising
Ruslan Stserbjuk Level 9: 600/1,200 (1,200) Entries: 153/396 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Ruslan Stserbjuk opened to 2,500 from the Hi-jack, and was faced with a 10,500 three-bet from Arkadiusz Liszewski (Small Blind). After some consideration, Stserbjuk made the call.
Liszewski decided to check the J♥7♥10♦ flop, and Stserbjuk felt the terrain with an 11,500 bet. Liszewski made the call, and the dealer revealed the 9♦ turn. After another check from Liszewski, Stjerbjuk now sized up to an impressive 40,000. This was too much for Liszewski, who decided to let his hand go.
There are roughly 30 minutes remaining for the last level of the day.

The Plot Thickens
Ahmad Niazi Level 8: 500/1,000 (1,000) Entries: 175/395 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Ahmad Niazi min-raised to 2,000 from UTG+1. Vytautas Semaska called from the Button before Ole Hov made it 8,000 from the Small Blind. Both of his opponents made the call.
All three contestants checked the 6♥2♠J♠ flop. Action was checked to Semaska on the Q♠ turn, and he bet 11,500, leaving himself with 25,000 behind. Hov mucked, but Niazi made the call.
After another check from Niazi on the A♥ river, Semaska utilized his five blue 5,000 chips to go all in. This sent Niazi into the tank. “You show if I fold?” he asked his opponent. No answer, and Niazi soon enough mucked his hand. Semaska didn’t show; we’ll never know what he had.
Ahmad Niazi: 112,000
Vytautas Semaska: 83,000 -
The Westerlund Rollercoaster
Jenny Westerlund Level 8: 500/1,000 (1,000) Entries: 177/393 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Klaudijus Bajoras opened to 2,200 from the Lo-jack before Vilius Zabarauskas made it 5,800 from the Cut-off. Jenny Westerlund made the call from the Big Blind, and when action came back to Bajoras, he put out a hefty 60,000 raise. Zabarauskas folded, but Westerlund committed her 40,000 stack to make the call.
Klaudijus Bajoras: A♣K♠
Jenny Westerlund: 10♥10♦Westerlund’s tens benefited from the 6♥8♠8♦7♦9♦ runout, and she is again up to roughly 100,000. Her stack is jojoing up and down today.

Meanwhile in Day 1d
Linas Bulksas Day 1d of the €1,100 Main Event is also ongoing. This poker.pro live reporter managed to catch a big hand.
Playing Blinds 100/200 with a 200 Ante, Linas Bulksas opened to 1,900 from the Hi-jack. Roman Jezov made it 3,800 from the Button, only to be faced with a 9,200 four-bet from Bulksas. Jezov made the call.
Bulksas put out 6,000 on the Q♥4♣10♣ flop, and Jezov moved all in for 20,000. Bulksas made the call without hesitation.
Roman Jezov: J♦J♣
Linas Bulksas: A♦A♣Jezov was in rough shape, and no miracle jack or any other help for him as the board completed with 9♥10♥. Bulksas’ stack is so big that it would even be twice the average in Day 1c.
Linas Bulksas: 125,000
Roman Jezov: 0 -

Mihail Leiderman Level 7: 400/800 (800) Entries: 204/387 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Perttu Kvist opened to 1,600 from the Hi-jack. It would turn out to be somewhat of a family pot; Mihail Leiderman (Cut-off), Andrew Ward (Button), Edvinas Balciunas (Small Blind), and Eivind Vold (Big Blind) all made the call.
Action was checked to Leiderman on the K♦8♦K♥ flop, and he bet 2,000. Vold and Kvist both made the call. After another round of checking to Leiderman on the 8♠ turn, he moved all in for 6,400. Vold made the call before Kvist mucked his hand.

Habib check-called a 2,500 bet from Bennsten on the K♥3♠10♠ flop. “How much do you have?” Bennsten asked Habib after he checked the Q♦ turn. He then forced his opponent all in for 13,900, and Habib snap-called.

Jenny Westerlund Level 5: 200/500 (500) Entries: 253/362 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD The board read 2♦J♥K♥Q♠ with 11,500 in the middle.

Level 4: 200/400 (400) Entries: 258/327 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Justinas Adomauskas opened to 1,000 from the Hi-jack. Linas Bulksas made it 3,500 from the Button; Ruslan Stserbjuk called from the Big Blind before Adomauskas mucked.
The action on the 4♦2♦10♣ was most certainly rapid. Stserbjuk checked, Bulksas bet 2,500, Stserbjuk made it 7,500, Bulksas forced his opponent all in for roughly 16,000, and Stserbjuk made the call.
Linas Bulksas: 8♦6♦
Ruslan Stserbjuk: A♦5♦Stserbjuk was looking good with the superior flush draw, but as Bulksas improved to a straight on the 3♥5♠ runout, he was awarded the pot and stacked Stserbjuk off.

Kutkauskas check-called a 2,500 bet from Chen on the A♠Q♦3♣ flop. Action repeated itself on the 8♠ turn, the only difference being that the sizing from Chen now was 8,000. On the 10♠ river, Kutkauskas immediately moved all in for 17,300. Chen leaned back in his chair, and he let out a chuckle that screamed, “Is this really happening?” Eventually, he made the call.
Karolis Kutkauskas: 4♠3♠
Yayan Chen: A♥K♠Runner-runner flush for Kutkauskas, and he received a full double-up at the expense of Chen.
Karolis Kutkauskas: 65,000

Westerlund Adds to Already Impressive Stack
Jenny Westerlund Level 3: 100/300 (300) Entries: 249/284 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Seated UTG+1, Jenny Westerlund opened to 800. Anthony Phillips called from the Cut-off before Tahsin Majumder made it 2,700 from the Button. Westerlund called, and Phillips folded.
The first-ever female WSOP Circuit Tallinn Main Event champion check-called a 3,700 bet from Majumder on the 10♦8♣5♦ flop. She checked again on the 4♣ turn, and Majumder continued for 6,700. After some consideration, Westerlund forced her German opponent all in for roughly 30,000 in total. Majumder took his time before, ultimately, making the call.
Jenny Westerlund: 4♦4♠
Tahsin Majumder: J♥J♦Majumder did not improve his hand on the A♣ river, and as his bullet came to an end, Westerlund now plays three times the average stack.
Jenny Westerlund: 100,000
Tahsin Majumder: 0 -
An Unlikely Runout
Level 3: 100/300 (300) Entries: 249/282 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Action folded to Ruslan Stserbjuk, who opened to 800 from the Button. Erio Ermann made it 1,800 from the Small Blind, before Stserbjuk moved all in for a mere 2,600. Naturally, Ermann made the call.
Ruslan Stserbjuk: Q♣10♥
Erio Ermann: A♥3♦Stserbjuk rose from his chair and saluted “Good game” to his table mates once he saw the A♠4♥3♣ flop. The old trick always works; the board completed with Q♥Q♠, and trip queens ensured Stserbjuk’s survival.
Erio Ermann: 35,000

Sneaky Move by Alvariza
Nicolas Alvariza Level 2: 100/200 (200) Entries: 203/208 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Nicolas Alvariza opened to 800 UTG. Jari Mähönen made the call from the Lo-jack, and Martins Sulte joined in on the fun from the Button.
All three players checked the 5♥6♠J♠ flop. Action was checked to Sulte on the 10♣ turn, who dipped his toes in the waters with a 1,600 bet. Then, faster than the speed of lightning, Alvariza put in a raise to 3,500. Mähönen swiftly folded before Sulte made the call.
The dealer revealed the K♠ river, and Alvariza put out an intimidating 16,000. “What do you think I have?” Sulte tried to engage his opponent in some table talk. After spending perhaps two minutes in the tank, Sulte mucked his hand. A revealed Alvariza revealed his 9♥7♣ holdings for a creative bluff.

Fabian Bartuschk Yesterday, the €1,100 PLO4/5 Championship played down to the money.

More Titles to Sweden
Erik Friberg Compared to the 2025 Kings of Tallinn, this year’s edition of Northern Europe’s biggest live poker festival is going better for the Swedes. Zero titles last year would prove to be nothing more than a temporary speedbump for the Scandinavians; after yesterday, Sweden has now claimed six titles.
Prior to the festival’s sixth day, Sweden had already claimed four titles. When the dust settled yesterday, two more winners waving the blue/yellow flag emerged victorious. Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk got lucky on his sixth bullet in the €200 PL Sviten/PLO5, and claimed the win for €4,550. This poker.pro live journalist will do his very best to schedule an interview with the farmer later today.
What is arguably even more impressive is Erik Friberg’s win in the prestigious €5,000 High Roller. Forty-two entries yielded a €209,760 prize pool, and after conquering a field that included prominent names such as Juha Helppi, Ranno Sootla, and Roope Tarmi, the legendary Swedish player claimed the trophy and the €71,700.
It’s worth mentioning that Lennart Andersson came second in the €200 NLH Turbo, coming very close to earning Sweden a third trophy on Wednesday.

Alfredsen Gets a Flush
Frode Alfredsen Level 9: 600/1,200 (1,200) Entries: 74/204 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD After an initial opening to 2,500 from Frode Alfredsen from the Lo-jack, Sergejs Piratovs moved all in for 21,000 from the Cut-off. When action came back to Alfredsen, he comfortably made the call.
Sergjes Piratovs: J♠J♥
Frode Alfredsen: A♦K♣Piratovs grimaced once he saw the Q♣9♣5♣ flop. He was drawing dead on the 2♣ turn, and just for good measure, Alfredsen improved to a six-card flush on the 4♣ river. Piratovs busted, and the floor announced the last five hands for the day.
Frode Alfredsen: 91,000

Franke’s in the Green
Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk We interrupt the €1,100 Main Event Day 1a coverage with an important announcement! After firing six bullets, Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk is now guaranteed a profit in the €200 PL Sviten/PLO5. His first three bullets converted into three hands; partially because he misread the game, but also because he is a fish. Just kidding; he’s currently at the final table, battling it out for the €4,550 first-place payout against three Finnish opponents. They’re all guaranteed €1,940, and time will tell whether Franke will be able to turn this into a Cinderella story.

Reigning Champion Plays a Big Stack
Kaspars Butans Level 8: 500/1,000 (1,000) Entries: 91/201 Prizes: €1,000,000 GTD Scrolling through PokerLens, this poker.pro live reporter noticed Kaspars Butans in the field. Butans won the €1,100 Main Event during the 2025 Kings of Tallinn for €182,000, beating No Filter Poker Series founder Mounir Tajiou heads-up. That was the biggest-ever Kings of Tallinn Main Event; only time will tell whether the record will be broken this year.
When this reporter strolled by Butans’ table, the board read 7♦7♠6♦10♠ with 16,500 in the middle. Steinn Thanh Du Karlsson (Small Blind) and Oleh Pritsak (Big Blind) both checked before Butans bet 6,500. Thanh Du Karlsson mucked instantly, but Pritsak made the call. The dealer revealed the Q♥ on the river; after another check from Pritsak, Butans sized up to 14,500. This sent Pritsak into the tank, and he spent two minutes there before making the call.
Butans turned over Q♦Q♣ for a rivered full house. Pritsak grimaced before mucking his hand.
Kaspars Butans: 134,000

The action on the A♠K♦10♣ flop went down so fast; this poker journalist’s pen almost caught fire. Mihelsons checked, Koutsoftas continued for 1,300, Dyhrberg Andersen raised to 4,500, Mihelsons folded, Koutsoftas moved all in for 20,400, and Dyhrberg Andersen called.
Alexandros Koutsoftas: Q♠J♦
Jorgen Dyhrberg Andersen: A♦K♠What a sick flop for the guys. It would be all premium cards on the board as it completed with 10♥Q♦, and Koutsoftas secured a full double up with his flopped straight.

The Prestigeous €5,000 High Roller in Full Flare
Another tournament that is currently going on in the main tournament room is the €5,000 High Roller.
There have been High Roller tournaments on the Kings of Tallinn schedules for many years, but last year was the first time it had the €5,000 buy-in. Then, Lithuanian Kestutis Jungevicius conquered a field that consisted of 58 entries to claim €90,380, which was the biggest share of the €264,480 prize pool.
As of this very moment, the €5,000 High Roller has 20 entries; late registration is open until 18:00. Juha Helppi, Mounir Tajiou, Yaniv Peretz, Markkos Ladev, and Paul Newey are just some of the prominent names in the field, competing for arguably one of the most prestigious titles of the 2026 Kings of Tallinn.

Onni Huttunen Eliminated in 2nd Place (€35,250)
Onni Huttunen Level 36: 150,000/300,000 (300,000) Entries: 1/608 Prizes: €282,720 After Martin Zobel limped the 300,000 Big Blind from the Button, Onni Huttunen moved all in for 6,100,000. It didn’t take too long for Zobel to make the call.
Onni Huttunen: A♦3♦
Martin Zobel: 7♦7♣Huttunen was out on deep waters, and he was in dire need of an ace or any other miracle to stay alive. The 9♠J♣2♦ flop didn’t bring much hope, and as the board completed with 8♦J♥, Huttunen’s tournament life came to an end. For his runner-up finish, he was awarded €35,250.

Zobel Extends Lead
Martin Zobel Level 36: 150,000/300,000 (300,000) Entries: 2/608 Prizes: €282,720 Seated on the Button, Onni Huttunen limped the 300,000 Big Blind. Martin Zobel raised to 1,100,000 from the Big Blind, and Huttunen made the call.
Zobel check-called an 800,000 bet from Huttunen on the Q♣J♠8♥ flop. After another check from Zobel on the 5♣ turn, Huttunen fired a hefty 1,400,000 bet. After some consideration, Zobel moved all in for 6,100,000 in total. It didn’t take long for Huttunen’s hand to hit the muck.
Thanks to the stream, we know the players’ holdings.

Max Jafaripour Eliminated in 3rd Place (€23,950)
Max Jafaripour Level 35: 125,000/250,000 (250,000) Entries: 2/608 Prizes: €282,720 Action folded to Germany’s Martin Zobel, who moved all in for 4,800,000 from the Small Blind. Seated in the Big Blind, Max Jafaripour peeked at his hole cards, then immediately made the call.
Martin Zobel: A♣2♠
Max Jafaripour: 8♥8♦It’s an educated guess Jafaripour was thrilled and hopeful to double up, but the K♦A♦K♥ flop was not high on his wish list. The board completed with 10♣4♠; Jafaripour couldn’t beat Zobel’s pair of aces, and he had to settle for a third-place finish for €23,950.
The stage is now set for a heads-up duel between Zobel and Onni Huttunen.

Mindaugas Grigaitis Eliminated in 4th Place (€16,800)
Mindaugas Grigaitis Level 35: 125,000/250,000 (250,000) Entries: 3/608 Prizes: €282,720 A fairly short-stacked Mindaugas Grigaitis moved all in for 1,000,000 UTG. Onni Huttunen decided to make the call from the Button, and soon enough, the two contestants were heads-up to the flop.
Mindaugas Grigaitis: Q♥6♥
Onni Huttunen: K♠10♥Grigaitis was trailing, but he took the lead on the 9♣Q♠4♦ flop. His breathing room wouldn’t last long, though, as Huttunen improved to a superior pair on the K♥ turn. No dice for Huttunen on the 8♠ river, and he bid farewell in fourth place for €16,800.
Onni Huttunen: 9,400,000

Yevhen Sukhov Eliminated in 5th Place (€12,700)
Yevhen Sukhov Level 34: 100,000/200,000 (200,000) Entries: 4/608 Prizes: €282,720 Onni Huttunen opened to 400,000 UTG, before short-stacked Yevhen Sukhov moved all in for 450,000 from the Small Blind. Mindaugas Grigaitis made the call from the Big Blind; three-ways to the flop, then.
Grigaitis check-called a 250,000 bet from Huttunen on the 8♣5♠A♠ flop. After another check from Grigaitis on the 9♦ turn, Huttunen sized up to 675,000. Grigaitis decided to fold after some pondering; Sukhov and Huttunen revealed their holdings.
Yevhen Sukhov: A♦10♥
Onni Huttunen: A♥K♥Thanks to the stream, we know that Grigaitis folded A♣7♣; in other words, all aces were out. No improvement for Sukhov on the 5♥ river, and he was eliminated in fifth place for €12,700.
Onni Huttunen: 7,600,000

The Sukhov Survival
Yevhen Sukhov Level 33: 75,000/150,000 (150,000) Entries: 4/608 Prizes: €282,720 Action folded to Yevhen Sukhov in the Small Blind, who moved all in for 1,100,000. After doing the maths, Mindaugas Grigaitis made the call from the Big Blind.
Yevhen Sukhov: A♣K♣
Mindaugas Grigaitis: 3♥3♣It was a classic coin flip situation, and Sukhov wasted little time before taking the lead on the K♦Q♦7♣ flop. No case three for Grigaitis as the river was the 4♦, and Sukhov doubled up.
Mindaugas Grigaitis: 7,500,000
Yevhen Sukhov: 2,500,000 -
Jafaripour Doubles Up
Max Jafaripour Level 33: 75,000/150,000 (150,000) Entries: 4/608 Prizes: €282,720 Swede Max Jafaripour open-shoved 1,700,000 from the Cut-off. After some consideration, Onni Huttunen made the call from the Big Blind.
Max Jafaripour: 8♠8♥
Onni Huttunen: A♦10♥Jafaripour maintained his lead on the Q♣9♥Q♦ turn, and he left his opponent drawing dead on the 8♦ turn. The dealer dealt the 3♠ river just to follow the rules, and Jafaripour received a full double-up.
Max Jafaripour: 3,700,000
Onni Huttunen: 1,600,000 -
Aaltonen Proudly Plays in Härkönen’s Seat
The final table of the €555 NLH Championship is not the only thing running in the main tournament area. The €200 NLH Celebrity Special is also in full swing, and the “regular” players are looking for good spots to knock out the celebrities, as they all have some kind of mystery bounty on their heads.
Tapio Aaltonen is one of the players in the tournament. Two weeks ago, Kings of Tallinn regular Marko Härkönen suddenly passed away. As a sign of respect, the Kings of Tallinn crew reserved Table 1-Seat 1 to Aaltonen, who was a very close friend of Härkönen. He has promised to donate half of his potential tournament winnings to Härkönen’s widow; both Härkönen and Kings of Tallinn are paying homage to Aaltonen in the most beautiful way possible.

Tomas Bulksas Level 32: 50,000/125,000 (125,000) Entries: 5/608 Prizes: €282,720 Action folded to Tomas Bulksas, who moved all in for 700,000 from the Button. After some consideration, Mindaugas Grigaitis decided to make the call from the Big Blind.
Tomas Bulksas: A♦6♦
Mindaugas Grigaitis: K♦Q♣Bulksas was ahead on the 5♦5♠4♦ flop, and he maintained his lead on the 4♣ turn. Poker can be a brutal game, though; Grigaitis hit the K♠ on the river, and with that, he eliminated Bulksas in sixth place for €9,500.
Mindaugas Grigaitis: 6,600,000
Tomas Bulksas: 0 -
Andrejs Kovalovs Eliminated in 7th Place (€7,200)
Level 32: 50,000/125,000 (125,000) Entries: 6/608 Prizes: €282,720 Chip leader Mindaugas Grigaitis opened to 250,000 from the Cut-off. Finland’s Onni Huttunen, second in chips, then three-bet to 725,000 from the Button. Small-stacked Andrejs Kovalovs was more or less forced all in from the Big Blind, so he committed his 275,000 stack. Grigaitis folded before Huttonen and Kovalovs went to showdown.
Onni Huttunen: A♦5♣
Andrejs Kovalovs: K♣J♦Both players hit a pair on the 4♣J♠A♠ flop, which made it even tougher for Kovalovs. The A♥ turn left Kovalovs drawing dead; the dealer dealt the 2♦ river for ceremonial reasons, and Kovalovs went to collect €7,200 for his seventh-place finish.
Onni Huttunen: 6,200,000
Andrejs Kovalovs: 0 -
Emil Göransson Eliminated in 8th Place (€5,850)

Emil Göransson: A♣10♣
Mindaugas Grigaitis: K♣J♦Göransson was ahead, but it wasn’t by much. He maintained his lead on the 7♦8♥10♣, but Grigaitis picked up an additional straight draw. Things were still in Göransson’s favor on the 8♣ turn, but the 9♥ river ultimately ended his tournament life, as Grigaitis hit his straight. For his eighth-place finish, he was awarded €5,850.
Mindaugas Grigaitis: 6,300,000
Emil Göransson: 0 -
Algirdas Saveikis Eliminated in 9th Place (€4,750)
Algirdas Saveikis Level 31: 50,000/100,000 (100,000) Entries: 8/608 Prizes: €282,720 Action folded Mindaugas Grigaitis, who min-raised to 200,000 from the Hi-jack. Seated in the Big Blind, Algirdas Saveikis was the sole caller.
After a check from Saveikis on the 9♥J♣2♥ flop, Grigaitis put out a 250,000 continuation bet. Saveikis then moved all in for 1,400,000, and Grigaitis made the call.
Algirdas Saveikis: Q♥10♦
Mindaugas Grigaitis: A♥A♦Saveikis was looking to improve to a straight, but he didn’t get there on the Q♣J♠ runout. As such, Saveikis became the first casualty of the final table, earning €4,750 for his ninth-place finish.

The remaining nine players in the €555 NLH Championship have yet to resume play on the final table; it’ll be another 30 minutes before all poker enthusiasts will be able to follow the final table action on the stream.
In the meantime, it feels fitting to mention something about another tournament that is currently going on: the €200 Pot Limit Razz Progressive Bounty.
Last year, the €200 Pot Limit Razz made its first appearance on a Kings of Tallinn schedule. Kings of Tallinn is a festival for the players, so tournament director Teresa Nousainen and her crew are eager to listen to players’ wishes and continually improve the festival. After hearing the players’ requests, the Kings of Tallinn team has now added the Progressive Bounty format to the tournament, something that is guaranteed to spice up the action even more.
The tournament kicked off roughly 2 hours ago, and late registration will close in about 10 minutes. Three things that are worth knowing about the tournament:
- Plays with Blinds.
- Initial deal: calling/raising Blinds.
- Fourth street and onwards: lowest hand showing to open.
Last but not least, here’s a breakdown of last year’s Razz tournament.

Zobel Knocks Out Pulliainen; Final Table is Set
Sami Pulliainen Level 30: 40,000/80,000 (80,000) Entries: 9/608 Prizes: €282,720 Martin Zobel made it 160,000 from the Cut-off before short-stacked Sami Pulliainen moved all in for 320,000 from the Button. The remaining players mucked before Zboel made the call.
Sami Pulliainen: A♦10♠
Martin Zobel: A♣Q♠As if things weren’t already bad enough for Pulliainen, Zobel hit top pair on the Q♥4♦5♦ flop. Pulliainen wasn’t able to produce a miracle on the 6♠K♠ runout, and he bubbled the final table.
The remaining nine players are now on a short break. The poker.pro live reporting will now follow the delay of the stream. Watch the stream through the link below.

Henri Antikainen: 10♣6♣
Mindaugas Grigaitis: A♣5♣“Dealer, can you help me please?” Antikainen joked with the dealer. “A six would be nice,” he rounded up his prayer. The Poker Gods didn’t listen; the board spelled out 9♠3♣3♦2♥8♣, and as Antikainen went out in seventeenth place, a redraw is now being conducted for the final two tables.

Tomi Rissanen Level 28: 25,000/50,000 (50,000) Entries: 17/608 Prizes: €282,720 Seated on the Button, Yevhen Sukhov opened to 500,000, applying big ICM pressure on Simon Hassan (Small Blind) and Veli-Pekka Penttinen (Big Blind). Hassan made the call with his 110,000 stack before Penttinen folded.
Yevhen Sukhov: K♥Q♣
Simon Hassan: 6♥6♦It was a classic coin flip situation. Suhkov immediately took a firm lead on the A♦K♣8♣ flop, and Hassan wasn’t able to catch up as the board completed with K♥5♥.

After an initial check from Dao on the J♦K♠8♥ flop, Bzeskis bet 60,000. Dao wasted little time before moving all in for 375,000. After perhaps 30 seconds’ worth of consideration, Bzeskis made the call.
Thuy Dao: Q♦K♣
Irmantas Bzeskis: A♥J♥Dao was ahead, but the 10♦J♠ runout saw Bzeskis improving to trips. The table let out a collective “Wow,” as the dealer pushed the chips towards Bzeskis.

Max Jafaripour: A♣5♥
Arsen Petrunin: K♣9♠The board spelled out 7♣4♠5♠4♥7♠, and a disappointed Jafaripour left the table…until his rail made him aware that his opponent in fact didn’t have a flush. Jafaripour realised he won the hand and returned to the table.

Jäppinen Doubles Through Göransson
Kauno Jäppinen Level 24: 10,000/20,000 (20,000) Entries: 29/608 Prizes: €282,720 Action folded to Emil Göransson, who min-raised to 40,000 from the Cut-off. Seated right next to him, Kauno Jäppinen moved all in for 125,000. When action came back to Göransson, he made the call.
Kauno Jäppinen: 8♠8♦
Emil Göransson: J♣J♦Jäppinen was in rough shape, but he improved to a set on the 8♣10♥7♣. Göransson didn’t hit a superior set or a straight as the board completed with 2♠5♦, and he lost a considerable chunk of his stack to Jäppinen.

Lundström Bids Farewell
Rasmus Lundström Level 24: 10,000/20,000 (20,000) Entries: 30/608 Prizes: €282,720 Juho Suutari min-raised to 40,000 UTG+1, before Max Jafaripour made it 125,000 from the Lo-jack. When action came to Rasmus Lundström, he clicked to 210,000, leaving him with perhaps 30,000 behind. Suutari then re-shoved for 440,000; this sent Jafaripour into the tank. After perhaps two minutes’ worth of consideration, he decided to let his hand go.
Rasmus Lundström: A♣Q♥
Juho Suutari: A♦K♦Lundström was in rough shape, and no queen or any other help for him as the board spelled out 10♠3♠6♣7♠9♦.
The floor has decided today’s play will conclude after Level 24 (i.e., in one hour from now), or when the tournament has reached 24 players.

Aleksi Heikkinen: 3♦3♥
Henri Antikainen: A♦8♦Heikkinen utilized the old “Stand up and get ready to leave” trick in order to increase his equity. It seemed to be working on the 5♣5♠2♦ flop, before Antikainen overtook the lead on the A♥ turn. No miracle for Heikkinen on the 9♠ river, and he was sent to the rail.
