The final weekend of the 2026 Kings of Tallinn, powered by OlyBet, is delivering non-stop action at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park, with the €1,100 Main Event and other marquee tournaments set to crown new champions. While the Main Event steals the spotlight, three side events awarded trophies on a packed Friday in Tallinn.
The Main Event exploded to 1,033 entries after 194 late registrations on Day 2. Israel’s Shaul Weinstein dominated, cracking aces to bust Sweden’s Patrik Falk on the bubble in the final hand, and returns with a massive 159 big blind stack of 770,000 to lead Day 3. The €1 million guarantee generated a €2,000 min-cash for the final 135 players, all eyeing the €169,500 top prize on Sunday’s live stream. Catch the 30-minute delay with hole cards exposed at 12:30 p.m. across OlyBet Poker social channels and the PokerProWorld YouTube channel.

Two multi-day events kicked off Friday and resume at noon Saturday alongside the Main Event.

The €1,100 NLH Progressive Bounty logged 87 runners on its opener (late reg open for the first three levels Saturday), led by the Netherlands’ Ahmad Niazi among 33 survivors.
Finland’s Tatu Lahti claimed Friday’s first trophy in the €350 NLH Deep Stack, pocketing €8,416 from a four-way deal with compatriots Shadi Jamil, Antti Hakala, and Ari Varonen.
Patrik Falk rebounded from his Main Event heartbreak, striking a heads-up deal for €7,085 against Germany’s Roi Gibstein in the €350 NLH/PLO4/PLO5 Round of Each. Gibstein sealed his first Kings of Tallinn trophy with the full €8,285.
Norway’s Kenneth Heimdal capped the night, conquering the €200 NLH Turbo for €5,950 after outlasting Lithuania’s Paulius Kisielius heads-up.
