Even though the €350 Mini Main Event is the only Ring Event that has begun, this poker.pro live reporter can’t help himself, and needs to share his excitement over one certain tournament that will be played next Friday, August 31: Ring Event #9, the €555 Sviten.
Out of all the various poker disciplines, Sviten is arguably the one that brings the most action. Only good vibes are guaranteed in this PLO/Five-Card Draw Frankenstein of a game. During the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, Sviten was played as a certified Ring Event for the first time ever. It attracted a large crowd, including many Swedes. The game was, in fact, invented in Sviten by Anders “Bengan” Bengtsson, and many players vawing the blue/yellow flag wanted to prove that the Swedes are the best at Sviten. Three Swedes made the final table during last year’s event, but the title was ultimately claimed by Finland’s Jarkko Suokas, who beat Sweden’s Nicklas Nordblom heads-up.
All Sviten enthusiasts won’t have to wait a whole week before satisfying their needs, though. In total, there are six events on the 2026 WSOP Circuit Tallinn schedule that include Sviten.
