The payouts have been released with 31 players scheduled to cash the event for a minimum of €2,110. The first place winner will not only etch their name in history, but barring any deals will also receive a record Kings of Tallinn Main Event top prize of €62,000.
All three Team OlyBet pros are still in the field but all three are struggling to build their stacks. Dmitrijs Meless is still doing the best of the trio with 95,000 in chips. The oher two pros are a bit lower with Raigo Aasmaa with 50,000 in chips in his stack and Carmen-Elina Vist with 42,000.
Rauno "Estonian Jesus" Tahvonen was eliminated late on Day 1 and decided to fire another bullet before late registration closed today.
Tahvonen had a rough going early and his stack dwindled down to 18,000 at the first break. Shortly after the break, the action folded around to him and he open-jammed pocket tens only to get called by the pocket-queens held by Mikael Zackariasen.
The board ran out all blanks and Tahvonen hit the rail. He shared with PokerNews that his team is doing well and he plans to enter the €110 NLHE Deepstack event at 3 p.m.
What he meant by team was that two percent of the prize pool is removed from each non-satellite event for a team leaderboard. Players chose their own teammates and the top two teams will walk away with big prizes with first collecting 75 percent of the leaderboard prizes and second place banking 25 percent.
Last year, there were 52 registered teams and it has gone up to 54 teams this year. The top prize last year was €16,000 and due to more events and more entrants per event it will be even bigger for the winning team this year.
Lanilo Ganotisi Baraoidan bagged 29,000 in chips or almost his opening stack yesterday. However, he is the only player that has failed to make it to his seat today.
He still has about 11,000 in chips in his stack, so if you know Baraoidan, you can help him out by getting in touch with him to rush over to his seat.
Team OlyBet pro Dmitrijs Meless and 2015 Kings of Talllinn champion Ranno Sootla both have sizeable stacks over on Table 17.
Meless has grown his stack steadily during the first two blind levels to 135,000. However, this doesn't mean it has all gone smooth for the Latvian.
In a recent hand, Sootla opened from under the gun with a bet of 2,200. Meless called from late position as did a player from the blinds.
All three players checked on the flop. The player in the blinds and Sootla checked when the came on the turn before Meless bet 3,500. The player in the blinds folded before Sootla called.
Sootla then took charge and bet out for 9,000 after the completed the board on the river. Meless appeared deep in thought for a minute before laying down his hand.
