Record-breaking Schedule and Big Guarantees
This year's Kings of Tallinn runs from February 5th to 15th, once again at the Olympic Park Casino and adjacent Hilton Tallinn Park. Organizers have crafted a record-breaking schedule of 74 tournaments, with the €1,100 Main Event boasting a guarantee of €1,000,000—one of the largest in Northern Europe.
Among other highlights are the €200 Mini Main Event, Kings of Tallinn Cup, several 'mystery bounty' formats, and a strong lineup of mixed games and PLO championships. As the Main Event champion is yet to be crowned, the winner of the Mini Main Event has already taken the stage.
903 Entries and a Marathon Day Two
For those doubting that 'mini' signifies minimal interest, the reality hit as soon as it started. The €200 Mini Main Event drew an impressive 903 entries, generating a prize pool of €142,764—immediately setting the festival's pulse. A total of 111 players cashed, with a min-cash standing at €380.
After the initial days, the remaining players converged for Day 2, a long and grueling session with fierce competition for the trophy. The evening's standout was Latvia's Jevgenijs Zotovs. He navigated through the final stages to reach the heads-up against Greece's Athanasios Kostouros.
In the heads-up, Zotovs appeared unflinching and continued to apply pressure on his opponent, ultimately sealing his victory. His reward: €25,570 and the trophy. Although Kostouros didn't clinch the top spot, the €17,060 payday ensured he left on a high note.
