2022 Kings of Tallinn – Side Events

The two-day €1,100 PLO Championship is fully underway and as of Level 5, there were 18 entries with 15 players remaining. If you miss the action on this event today, you will still be able to enter during the first blind level of tomorrow with today playing out eight levels and late registration open for nine levels.

Coming up in an hour is the two-day €660 Mystery Bounty event which will play 14 levels today and allows for unlimited re-entries during the seven-level late-registration window.

The cash games have been running around the clock in the casino since the Kings of Tallinn began. Whether you are looking to play €1/€2 or a bit higher, there will be a game for you with NLHE, PLO, and mixed games all available.

One player on his way to play cash games is Tallinn regular and Finnish poker author Aki Pyysing. Pyysing is normally seen playing tournaments but he shared with PokerListings that he can’t play any multi-day events so he will go back to his roots and play some Omaha cash games.

The Team Challenge has just been updated for all events completed from yesterday or earlier. Both ‘Timon Pojat’ and ‘Black hill Pedro’s’ are sitting above 70 points with ‘Rex Populi’ not too far behind in third place.

The €350 OlyBet Deepstack is a two-day affair that kicked off at 1 p.m. There are already more than 100 entries with the field likely to continue to climb between late risers, eliminations from the Main Event, and, of course, re-entries.

The action today will play down to a final table of nine hopefuls with the final table being played out tomorrow starting at noon.

The Kings of Tallinn boasts a new tournament in Event #17: €250 Team Tournament at 10 p.m. tonight. Kings of Tallinn Tournament Director Teresa Nousiainen shared with us a bit about the competition.

Each team consists of two to four players who must all register together at the cashier. There is one stack per team with each team starting off with 15,000 in chips. Each team must have each player play at least one blind level before late registration closes after seven blind levels. The teams decide who will play but can only swap players when the blind levels change.

Players are only allowed to talk to members of their team when not in a hand. In addition, players will earn points for their Team Challenge Team. Any team points earned will be divided by the amount of players in the Team Tournament Team.

For Example – Three players enter event #17, tonight’s Team Tournament. They will receive one point each for entering this Team Tournament, plus additional points for any cashes, DIVIDED BY THREE (because three members in this tournament).

Good Luck, enjoy, and have fun!

The €250 Sviten Special that kicked off at 1 p.m. is already down to a final table of 7 players from its opening field of 31 entries. The top 4 players are each guaranteed at least a min-cash of €620 with the eventual winner going home with the €2,950 top prize along with the coveted trophy.

Simo-Pekka Aalto, Matteo Crapanzano, Antti Hakala, Arto Loikkanen, Risto Pönniö, Sampo Ryynänen, and Iikka Tahkokallio are among the players still in the mix of the title.

PokerListings will update the results of many of the side events throughout the festival. Last night provided tons of excitement with the €250 Mystery Bounty entering its second and final day.

Fabian Bartuschk outlasted a field of 280 entries to win the €7,634 top prize.

Meanwhile, the anticipation of which player would draw the mystery bounty envelope with the biggest prize of €5,000 had players on pins and needles. This wasn’t decided until there were six players left. A friend of Akseli Paalanen pulled an envelope and Pallanen not only managed to collect the third place prize of €3,180 but was awarded the biggest bounty prize €5,000 as well.
