Antoine DiGiorgio Flips €10 Into a Main Event Seat

Jaxon

Dozens of players gathered in hopes of turning €10 into a Kings of Tallinn Main Event seat worth €1,100. How it worked was 10 players sat down and were all-in preflop. The winner of the hand went into the final round along with anyone that wanted to pony-up €100.

The final round worked the same with 10 players all-in preflop with the winner walking away with a Main Event seat. Malta's Antoine DiGiorgio nailed a flush on the turn and his hand held. It would be a true Cinderella story if he can turn €10 to a Main Event victory.

Feras Abid Kicks off Day 2 of the Kings of Tallinn Main Event in the Lead

Jaxon

Welcome to Day 2 of the King's of Tallinn €1,100 Main Event at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Park Hotel located in the heart of the Estonian capital.

Players traveled from near and far to play in the Main Event with 241 entrants joining the field on Day 1. This is just six entrants shy of a Kings of Tallinn Main Event record of 247 entrants established last year. This year's Main Event will easily establish a new record with re-entries and late-registration allowed until the start of Day 2.

A total of 156 players survived yesterday's action with Finland's Feras Abid leading the way to start the day with a huge stack of 137,700 in chips. Behind him are Estonia's Tonis Viik in second place with 119,000 and Finland's Henri Vaisanen in third place with 118,300.

Also well in the mix is one of Europe's most successful poker players Juha Helppi bringing forth a healthy stack of 112,200 in chips. Additionally, three Team OlyBet members bagged chips yesterday including Dmitrijs Meless (96,000), Carmen-Elina Vist (55,900) and Raigo Aasmaa (34,600).

Day 2 of the Main Event will kick off at 12 p.m. local time with blinds at 400/800 and an ante of 100. We will have updated chip counts for all of the players before the action resumes. Similar to yesterday, Day 2 will play out seven 60-minute blind levels with 15-minute breaks scheduled after every two blind levels.
