Welcome to Day 1 of the 2018 Kings of Tallinn Main Event

Kings of Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino
Kings of Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino

The Kings of Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino is the biggest live poker tournament festival in the Baltics and Nordics of the year. It has grown each year since its inception in 2015 with this year's edition featuring 46 action-packed events from Feb. 12-18.

The showcase of the festival, the Kings of Tallinn €1,100 Main Event, kicks off the first of its five days of action today at 12 p.m. Some of the biggest names in poker, especially from Finland, are expected to be part of today's action including Patrik Antonius, Jani Vilmunen, Juha Helppi, Ville Wahlbeck and Theo Jorgensen.

The Main Event boasts an amazing structure with players kicking off the action with 30,000 in chips and blinds increasing every 60 minutes. Players are scheduled to play seven blind levels today and can re-enter an unlimited amount of times up until the start of Day 2.

Players bagging chips after Day 1 will compete for four more days on Feb. 15-18 until a winner is crowned. Last year, Finland's Matias Knaapinen banked €45,007 and the coveted trophy after agreeing to a three-way deal with Estonia's Roland Luik (second place - €46,667) and Finland's Kasper Mellanen (third place - €36,016).
