Martin Zobel Wins Kings of Tallinn €555 Championship (€53,520)

Tuesday was packed with excitement at Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park as seven new champions were crowned at the 2026 Kings of Tallinn.

Germany’s Martin Zobel earned the largest cash prize of €53,520 thus far after defeating Finland’s Onni Huttunen heads-up in the €555 NLH Championship in front of a live-streamed audience with live reporting simultaneously at poker.pro.

Excitement began to brew elsewhere as Zobel was busy battling for the title in the €555 NLH Championship. Earlier in the day, OlyBet launched the Spin&Gold Arena in a partnership with GGPoker, where players competed standing up for free in a three-max affair for random prizes.

The buzz got louder as the day progressed with the launch of the €200 NLH Celebrity Special. Kings of Tallinn host Teele Viira and poker.pro host Glenn Brown introduced all of the local celebrities, who all had added mystery prize bounties added to their heads. This event is always popular among players and celebrities alike, creating a fantastic atmosphere midway through the festival.

As was fitting, the trophy in this event stayed on Estonian soil after Alari Künnapuu defeated Latvia’s Kaspars Avots heads-up to win the €14,330 top prize for a nice return on the €200 buy-in.

In other news, Sweden’s Lennart Andersson defeated the United Kingdom’s Gary Fisher heads-up to win the inaugural €555 NLH Seniors for €9,480 before Lithuania’s Jonas Lapinskas won a larger top prize of €14,550 after defeating Finland’s Vili Turunen heads-up.

Sweden’s Abbe Mardiny won the €1,100 NLH Mystery Bounty for €14,950. Despite winning the trophy, runner-up Ben Miller earned more thanks to pulling the larger mystery bounty envelopes for a total haul of €26,850.

Latvia’s Konstantin Mikhailyuk and Finland’s Risto Pönniö both earned the top €910 top prize from the €200 PL Razz Progressive Bounty before Mikhailyuk earned the trophy and the big bounty at the end.

Last, but not least, Ukraine’s Iaroslav Boiko earned the €38,700 top prize in the €2,000 PLO4 after defeating Finland’s Olli Rummukainen heads-up.

Martin Zobel Wins €53,520 in €555 NLH Championship on Live Stream

Tuesday was not only a busy day for poker players, with trophies awarded left and right as the day and evening progressed. However, it was also the start of both the Spin&Gold Arena and also the live stream for the final day of the €555 NLH Championship.

The live stream kicked off at the beginning of the day across OlyBet Poker social media channels and its media partner’s PokerProWorld YouTube channel with Kings of Tallinn commentators Andreas “Wiseguy” Hoglund and poker.pro CEO Jason Glatzer hosted with guests Rasmus Lundström, Scott “Pokerbrahs” Kenyon, and poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlén is contributing throughout the day.

The day began with 25 hopefuls from the field of the original 608-entry field, hoping to snag a larger piece of the €282,720 prize pool.

Lithuania’s Mindaugas Grigaitis began the final day with the chip lead and was back-and-forth with Finland’s Onni Huttunen throughout the final day until Germany’s Martin Zobel snagged the lead during short-handed play.

Zobel was in the middle of the pack to start the final table, with Huttunen and Grigatis on top, after he eliminated Finland’s Sami Pulliainen in 10th place when his ace-queen held against ace-ten.

Two of the Lithuanians collided early in the final table. Algirdas Saveikis jammed queen-ten with an open-ended and was out in ninth place for €4,750 after being unable to complete his straight to push ahead of Grigaitis’s pocket rockets.

Grigaitis then sent the short-stacked Swede Emil Göransson to the rail in eighth place for €5,850 when his king-jack ran a straight on the board to defeat ace-ten suited.

Huttunen ousted Andrejs Kovalovs (seventh – €7,200) when ace-five held against king-jack before Grigaitis was back at it again, eliminating country-mate Tomas Bulksas (sixth – €9,500) when his king-queen spiked a king on the river to pull ahead of ace-six suited.

Ukraine’s Yevhen Sukhov was the next to go in fifth place for €12,700 as Grigaitis began losing his stack before becoming the short-stack before hitting the rail himself in fourth place for €16,800.

Zobel then took the lead to start the heads-up affair against Huttunen with a small lead after his ace-deuce got there against eights to eliminate Sweden’s Max Jafaripour in third place for €23,950.

Shortly after, Zobel was crowned the 2026 Kings of Tallinn €555 Championship winner after his sevens held against ace-deuce suited to win the trophy and the €53,520 top prize, while Huttunen settled for the healthy runner-up prize of €35,250.
