WSOP Circuit Tallinn – Key Details
The WSOP Circuit Tallinn features 12 Circuit ring events, including a €1,500 Main Event which comes with a massive €1 million guarantee. There’s no shortage of poker action as the schedule also includes more than 30 side events, with the venue also running cash games 24/7.
Putting Tallinn on the Global Poker Map
The team behind this major WSOP event includes no other than renowned tournament director Teresa Nousiainen who was also responsible for the creation of the popular Kings of Tallinn festival.
Tallinn began hosting huge poker events as early as 2010 when it played host to the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT). Since 2015, the year Kings of Tallinn was born, Tallinn has served as home to several other international poker festivals, such as the Patrik Antonius Poker Challenge (PAPC) and The Summer Showdown Series.
