WSOP Circuit Tallinn – World’s First WSOP Circuit Festival in Northern Europe!

During the period 14th-24th of September this year, poker history will surely be made. For the first time ever, the WSOP Circuit festival will come to Northern Europe and it’s hard not to walk on needles whilst waiting for the middle of September to be here.

After day 2 (Friday 22nd) and day 3, (Saturday 23rd), a winner will be crowned after the final day, Sunday 24th. With its 50 000 starting stack and a guaranteed prize pool of €1 000 000, the main event will surely be an extraordinary affair!

For the non-Texas NLH players, Deuce To Seven Triple Draw goes off the rails Sunday 17th with its €555 buy-in, alongside the €350 Texas NLH event. It’s not until Tuesday 19th that the 8 GAME-lovers will prove their skills in the €555 event.

Of course, the Pot Limit Omaha people are not forgotten! The 4&5 Cards event (Button round each) has a buy-in of €1 100 and will be held on Wednesday the 20th. Two days later, Friday the 22nd, the PLO HI/LO tournament makes its entrance with a €660 buy-in.
