Seven Winners on Monday at the Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition

Monday delivered the most memorable session of the 2026 Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition thus far at OlyBet’s flagship home Olympic Park Casino and the adjoining Hilton Tallinn Park. Seven events wrapped, producing winners from six countries: a Lithuanian sweep of the €350 NLH Kings of Tallinn Cup, a second Tallinn title in 2026 for Latvia’s Marcis Zeltmatis, a near double-win from Latvia’s Deniss Lebedevs after finishing runner-up in the €1,100 PLO 4/5 Championship before shipping the €350 PLO4/PLO5 Double Board Bomb Pot, a WSOP Circuit ring winner taking the €200 NLH Queens, and Estonia’s Erik Põlluveer topping the €250 High Only Mix.

The stage was also set on Tuesday’s Day 2 in the €555 NLH Championship after the final two opening flights were played out on Monday, with more than 200 entries so far. Sweden’s Jawad Habib leads 81 survivors into Day 2 of the €555 Championship with late registration still open and the prize pool continuing to grow in six-figure territory.

Paulius Turcinskas Wins the €350 NLH Kings of Tallinn Cup

Lithuania’s Paulius Turcinskas won the €350 No-Limit Hold’em Kings of Tallinn Cup for €12,602, defeating a field of 205 entries, which created a €59,102 prize pool.

The final table came down to an all-Lithuanian heads-up, with Kestutis Jungevicius coming one player shy of the title. Turcinskas defeated his countryman, and the two-time WSOP Circuit champ Jungevicius had to settle for the €8,430 runner-up prize instead of the title. Ukraine’s Arsenii Hvozdetskyi ran deep to finish third, taking €6,030. Spain’s Alfonso Lopez Delgado finished just shy of the podium in fourth for €4,600.
