Welcome to the Kings of Tallinn Main Event

Kings of Tallinn
Kings of Tallinn

Welcome to Day 1a of the 2020 Kings of Tallinn �1,100 Main Event at the Hilton Tallinn Park and Olympic Park Casino.

Every year, the Kings of Tallinn is the biggest live poker festival. Attendance has grown each year since its inception in 2015 with this year's sixth edition featuring 40 action-packed events from Feb. 17-23.

This year will be by far the biggest to date with the Main Event featuring a huge �500,000 guaranteed prize pool and more sponsors than ever before bringing in qualifiers including Olybet Poker, Coolbet Poker, 32Red Poker, Paf Poker, and Optibet Poker.

The Main Event features two opening flights with players starting with a big stack of 30,000 in chips.

This is a change from previous years when a single opening flight prevailed. Day 1a features eight blind levels of an hour each starting at 12 p.m. EET.

Day 1b will begin shortly after players bag chips at 9 p.m. EET and is a turbo affair with 20-minute blind levels.

Players will have plenty of opportunities to build a massive stack with unlimited re-entries permitted until the conclusion of the first blind level fo Day 2 on Feb. 22.

Day 3 on Feb. 22 will play down to a final table, which will be played out until the sixth Kings of Tallinn Main Event winner is crowned on Feb. 23.

Last year, the Main Event attracted 375 entrants with Latvia's Vitalijs Zavorotnijs winning the trophy and the �85,300 top prize. This year's top prize will be even bigger.

Zavorotnijs has confirmed with PokerNews that he will attempt to defend his title as will 2018 Kings of Tallinn Main Event champion Juha Helppi.
