Ville Keränen took down the showpiece €555 Main Event Mystery Bounty at the latest stop on The Festival Weekend calendar in Tallinn, Estonia.

As per The Festival website, the Finn banked €26,160 for his efforts at the Olympic Casino in the Estonian capital, including pulling the biggest mystery bounty prize en route to victory.

The final table featured players from across the Baltics, with Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Sweden all represented. However, it was Australia's Jarrod Coughtrie who stood between Keränen and the trophy, with the Finn prevailing heads-up to seal the victory.

According to The Hendon Mob, the win ranks as the fifth biggest cash of Keränen's live tournament career. His largest payday also came at Olympic Park Casino, where he finished fourth in the €1,100 Kings of Tallinn Main Event during the 2023 OlyBet festival for €34,900.
