One of Europe’s most exciting ladies-only poker festivals is back! The Queens of Tallinn returns to Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park from August 21–24, 2025, for four full days of poker, prizes, and nonstop action. Now in its third edition, the festival created by Teresa Nousiainen is set to build on the momentum of previous years with 11 unique tournaments, round-the-clock cash games, and a warm welcome for women of all skill levels.
Value That Can’t be Beat
The 2025 schedule features buy-ins ranging from Free Entry satellites to the €350 Main Event, capped off by the €250 Progressive Bounty. Action kicks off Thursday with the traditional Meet and Greet followed by the €80 Opening Event and a Free Satellite to the Main.
Other highlights include a €200 PokerNews Queens Crown, a mixed PLO event, and the always-fun Team Challenge, where 2% of prize pools feed into a separate team prize pool. Teams of three female players must register by August 22 at 20:00 to qualify—and those who register by August 7 will receive custom team shirts.
A Look Back at the 2024 Main Event
Last year’s edition was another high watermark for the growing festival. Finland’s Saara Benlamine conquered the 2024 Main Event, topping an 85-entry field to capture the title, a golden necklace, and €5,148 from the €17,578 prize pool. She also bagged a second trophy during the series, taking down the €80 NLH/PLO4/PLO5 Mix event. “Queen of Queens” indeed.
The €350 Queens of Tallinn Main Event once again features two Day 1 flights on Friday, with late reg open until Day 2 kicks off on Saturday. The field will play down to the final table on August 23, with a new champion crowned on Sunday, August 24.
