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.
