We’ve had a break in the Main Event, but now the 6 remaining players have returned.

Jun Chun raises to 250k from UTG with 10 10 . He gets called by Mairo Tori in the Cut-Off.

Flop comes 2 4 4 . Jun bets 400k and Mairo calls. The turn brings 5 and Jun now bets 800k in the 1,6M pot. Mairo calls.

On the river 9 , Jun puts Mairo all in. However, Mairo has hit the flush on the river with his K J and calls. Mairo doubles up and takes a large chunk of Jun’s stack.

Alongside the final table of the Main Event, 6 players are battling it out in the €3 000 Texas NLH tournament for the first price €78 280:

Mairo Tori opens to 250k (blinds 50k/125k) UTG+2. From the small blind, chipleader Akseli Paalanen moves all in and quickly gets called by Mairo.

Mairo holds K K and Akseli has A 10 . Board runs out 5 4 2 K 6 and Mairo doubles up.

The only Finnish player left, Akseli Paalanen, enters the final table as the chiplead with his 10 650 000 stack, which converts to 100 big blinds.

Jun Chun could be the player that the rest of the field fears. He is a very experienced player and also enters the field with the second biggest stack, 6 875 000, roughly 69 big blinds.

Artur Külanurk is the one of the three Estonians with the biggest stack, 4 550 000 (46,5 big blinds). He has only cashed in live events in Tallinn.

Jesus Martinez biggest live cash this far is $4 480 and he enters the final table 4th most in chips, 3 450 000, which is 34,5 big blinds.

If the WSOPC Tallinn Main Event Ring will see a Swedish owner, it’s up to Emil Hovmark. This is by far the biggest achievement in Emil’s live poker career thus far and he has a 3 250 000 (ca 33BB) stack to work with.

Adrias Comas will play a stack of 2 275 000, roughly 23 big blinds, and is the most experienced player of the three Spaniards left on the final table. He has won over $100 000 dollars in live events.

The Spaniard, residented in Estonia, will take his seat with 2 200 000 chips, which is 22 big blinds. He has cashed in one live event prior to this, a €30 Rebuy tournament in Alicante back in 2013.

The second Estonian in the field of nine enters the final table with 1 500 000 (15 big blinds). Mairo has cashed in live events for over a decade, mostly in Estonia.

Estonias Mario Linno enters the final table with the shortest stack of 1 175 000, roughly 12 big blinds. His biggest achievement on the live poker scene so far is his win in the €330 event in Battle of Malta 2018, which earned him €24 069.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. We have a final table for the €1 500 WSOPC Tallinn Main Event. 719 players have become 9 which will now battle it out for the WSOPC Ring and the first prize of €211 500.

Max Rotko and Pekka Ikonen both bust from the secondary table. Ten players are remaining and we soon have a 9-handed final table.

Jon Martínez shoves from the small blind with K 10 and gets called by Artur Külanurk with 9 9 from the big blind. The board reads 6 8 9 A 10 and Jonis out in 13th place, colleting a €9 600 paycheck.

The Swede Anders Hansson flopped an open ender and got it all in on the second table against top pair. No help for Anders who left in 14th place with €7 750.

From the Cut-Off, Garrido Gonzalez makes it 200k (blinds 50k/100k) with A Q . Hendrik Uibo shoves 1,3M from the button holding A 8 . Jun Chum finds A Q on the Big Blind and re-shoves, leading Garrido to fold.

The board runs out 5 3 4 4 9 and Hendrik is out in place 15.

Jon Martinez opens up UTG. Tomasz Janusz goes All In from the Button and Jon calls. Jon holds J J and Tomasz has A 8 . Board runs out 3 Q 4 K K and we lose Tomasz in 17th place. He takes home €6 000 for his feat.

The remaining 16 players are now subject to a seat draw. We will return with new tabling and chip count as soon as possible.

On table 3, Artur Külanurk raises to 250k from the small blind (blinds 40k/80k). Anders Hansson defends his big blind.

Flop comes 4 5 5 . Artur bets 175k and Anders calls. Turn comes 6 . Artur makes it 350k and Anders calls once again.

On the river 5 , Artur thinks about two minutes before he checks. Anders immediately moves all in and Artur folds instant. The swedish rail cheers for Anders as he turns over Q 10 showing his missed flush draw. The pot was about 1.2M.

We’re closing in on two 8-handed tables! The biggest stack right now seems to be Pekka Ikonen.

On table 3, Tomasz Mroz opens it up from the Cut-Off. Maciej Komorowski defends his Big Blind and we see the flop 5 2 5 . After Maciej checks, Tomasz bets 75k and Maciej calls. It goes check-check on the turn 3 . On river 5 , Maciej now leads out for 145k and gets snap called by Tomasz!

Maciej holds 8 4 for the bluff and Romasz takes down the pot with A K .

Ring Event #11, €3 000 Texas NLH, could be considered the High Roller of the WSOPC Tallinn. 63 players entered the event so far, with 12 having busted.

24 players remaining on three tables in the Main Event. The following are battling it out with blinds 20k/50k:

We’re down to 24 players in the Main Event, which means we will do a new seat draw.

Seppo Parkkinen busted as 25th in quite the dramatic fashion against Jun Beum Chun. They were all in preflop, Jun holding an off-suited Ace-four and Seppo having pocket sixes. The flop A-6-9 put Seppo in the lead, but the run-out 4-A saw Jun getting better full house, sending Seppo to the rail.

Vu Vuong shoves 415k from the Hi-Jack on blinds 20k/50k. He gets called from Andrius Bielskis in the small blind.

Andrius held 9 9 and Vu K J . The board ran out 9 8 8 Q A and Vu busts in 28th.

The remaining 28 players are now going on a 20 minute break. Since we’re playing 8-handed (until the final table which will feature the final 9 players), we will soon be down to 3 tables.

I ran over to table 18 when I see the big pot on the board 4 K 4 2 6 . The pot is 600k+ and Jun Beum Chun has checked it to Seppo Parkkinen. Seppo checks back and Jun reveals K K for the full house.

From the small blind, Ekrem Esker moves all in and gets snap called by Samuel Richards from the big blind.

Ekrem holds K J and Samuel holds A 2 . Board runs out 6 8 4 A Q and Ekrem is out in 37th, collecting €4 750.

39 players remaining in the Main Event after Aleksandr Arutjunov busted as 40th.

There’s an all in situation on table 18 between Jun Beum Chum and Remigijus Dzerva. Jun holds A 10 and Remigijus has A J . Even though dominated, Jun wins the hand after the runout K 10 6 4 3 . We’ve lost Reigijus to the rail.

18 players have busted this far during day 3, as we’re entering level 23 with blinds 20k/40k and big blind ante of 40k. The current cashout €4 250.

Finland’s Anna-Mari Hursti is currently the only woman left in the Main Event. There are 50 players remaining and we’ve just entered level 22 with blinds 15k/30k and a big blind ante of 30k.

UTG on table 19, Pekka Ikonen raises to 50k (blinds 10k/25k). He gets called by Ekrem Esker in UTG+1, before the Small Blind, Vu Vuong moves all in for roughly 650k. He gets called by the smaller stack Pekka before Ekrem folds.

Pekka holds J J , and Vu holds A A . Not a bad flop for Pekka, the 6 J J . The runout completes 9 K .

Imagine if there would have been post-flop action between the three players with nut flush, full house, and quads…

There’s a blind battle between Emanuele Mari (SB) and Ekrem Esker (BB). We join the action on the turn with the board being J 6 [9Jc]9 . Emanuele bets 135k into the roughly 170k pot and gets called by Ekrem.

River reads 3 and Emanuele bets 225, leaving roughly 350k behind. He eventually gets called by Ekrem and Emanuele shows J K . Eksem mucks.

We are just 10 minutes away before day 3 of the Main Event will commence with its 60 remaining players. Follow all the action live here on PokerListings!

Day 2 ended with 60 players advancing to day 3 tomorrow, saturday 23rd. These are the remaining players, their chip count, and seating:

Players will begin play on saturday with blinds 10k/25k and ante 25k on Big Blind.

Day 2 has concluded with 61 players moving on to day 3, which will start tomorrow 12:00! As always, we will return during the evening with chip counts.

We’ve seen this before, haven’t we? The bubble bursting and suddenly people are busting left and right. 7 additional players have busted the three post-bubble hands and we are now down to 80 players.

28 minutes of play remains during this day.

Kaspars Renga moves all in from UTG+1. From the Hi-Jack, Seppo Parkkinen moves all in himself and we go to showdown between the two players.

Kaspars: J J
Seppo: K K

The board runs out 8 Q 9 8 4 . Kaspars unfortunately bubbles and we are now ITM!

This is it, ladies and gentleman. We’re 88 players left in the Main Event. One more bust before the remaining players are ITM.

The 92 remaining players are now back from a 20 minute break. Five more will go out before we are in the money.

Finland’s Joel Holmberg entered day 2 as chip leader. He just went all in from the small blind with 118k, after Andrey Koks and Emil Hovmark limped. He got called by Andrey.

Joel held A J and Andrey J J . The hand ran out smoothly for Andrey and we lose Joel in 93rd place.

On table 12, Astur Külanurk raises to 25k (blinds 6k/12k). Samuli Koponen shoves 146k from the button. Astur is thinking but can’t decide wether to call or fold. Eventually he asks Samuli “you are from…?”. Samuli replies “Finland” and Astur quickly folds.

With Christoffer Overgaard busting as player #100, we’re now 99 players remanining in the Main Event.

From the Lo-Jack, Yi-Zhan Peng opens to 25k. He gets called by Joel Holmberg on the button, and Andrey Koks joins in on the fun from the Big Blind.

The flop is K 7 4 and all three players check. We see the turn 3 and Andrey now leads ut for 30k. Yi-Zhan raises to 75k. Joel folds and Andrey calls.

The river is 4 and both players check. They split the pot with K J and K J .

“I thought he was bluffing, I was so ready to make a tough call” Andrey said.

At table 1, Gilles Simon raises to 20k (blinds 5k/10k). He gets called by Gustavs Civics from the Lo-Jack, before Adriá Comas moves all in for 299k. Gilles moves all in himself for 250k, seeing Gustavs fold.

Adriá holds K K and Gilles holds A A . The board runs out Q 10 3 7 9 . Aces holds and Gilles doubles!

The payouts for the Main Events are now published and reads as follows:

Calle Hansson just busted from the Main Event. We wrote earlier that Calle and his father Anders Hansson both played day 2 in the Main Event, as well as Estonian father-and-son duo Igor Pehela Sr. and Igor Pehela Jr. The “juniors” both have busted and the dads are left.

Of course there are many well meritaded players left in the Main Event. On table 6, we have Emil Hovmark with the 900k stack, Joel Holmberg who entered day 2 as the chipleader, Juha Helppi who’s 2nd on Finlands all time money list, and more.

Players have returned from the dinner break and 128 players are remaining. Sweden’s Emil Hovmark is for sure one of the biggest stack with his 900k+.

David Asqino from Spain started the day with 125k in his stack, but he has since improved to 374k! The spaniard lives in Norway since five years back and is in hunt for the WSOPC Main Event Ring.

The 142 remanining players are now on a dinner break and will come back to blinds 4k/8k.

Even though the payouts not yet are official, the tournament directors at Olympic Casino just revealed that top 87 in the Main Event will be ITM.

The 144 remaining players will go on a dinner break in 2 minutes.

There are three swedes left in the Main Event out of the total 149 players. Calle Hansson plays 79k and his father Anders Hansson has 460k. Emil Hovmark has a whopping 935k. Average stack is 244,5k.

Igor Pihela Sr. is still alive in the Main Event, so is his son Igor Pihela Jr. The Estonian father-and-son duo are not alone in this quite unique constellation, seeing as Anders Hansson and son Calle Hansson are still repping the Swedish flag in the Main Event.

Lithuania’s Mantas Bagacius entered day 2 with 284,5k, sixth most in chips. Day 2 has treated him well so far; he currently plays 510k which is more than double average.

Luca Beretta goes all in from 113k in the roughly 100k pot and gets called by Jaakko Talvitie on the board 3 10 8 6 . Luca holds Q 9 whilst Jaakko shows A 8 . The 9 on the river saves Jaakko and he doubles up.

We’re down to 165 players.

43 players have entered the PLO HI/LO so far, with one player busting out so far.

We’re down under 200 players in the Main Event. The remaining 191 players will soon get to know the payouts.

There’s a battle on the flop between Mauren Zormati and Anders Hansson. We see 2 8 4 and a 60k pot. Mauren bets 21k and gets called by Anders. Turn is 6 and as Mauren slows down and checks, Anders bets 75k, enough to make Mauren fold.

We’ve just entered level 14 with blinds 2k/5k and 210 players are remaining.

WSOPC Ring Event #9 has begun in Tallinn, being the €660 PLO HI/LO tournament. So far, 31 players are registered.

Over at table 19, Estonia’s Hanna Heinlo raises to 9k Under the Gun (blinds 2k/4k). She gets called by Giovanni Memola from UTG+1, before Niko Petro raises to 26k. Hanna goes all in, Giovanni folds and Niko calls.

Niko’s A K is up against Hanna’s A A and with the board reading 8 9 2 K 6 , Hanna’s aces hold and she doubles up and more.

The players are now on a 20 minute break (7 minutes remaining). Late registration is open until the break is over.

Before the break, I had a little chat with Finland’s Joel Holmberg who went into day 2 as the chipleader.

Joel chose 1C as his start flight and and bagged 318k for day 2. During the rougly first two hours today, he has managed his stack well and now plays rougly 390k.

The Finn has played poker professionally for the last 6-7 years, and even though he mainly plays online he seems to be really comfortable on the live scene. During day 1C he had quite the smooth ride; he got good value at showdown and his bluffs mostly went his way.

When asked what his favourite game is after Texas NLH, he answers PLO Hi-Lo.

It will be very interesting to follow Joel during the day!

I rush over to table 24 when I see the players taking pictures of the board. Emanuele Mari have raised from the Small Blind and Ranno Sootla defended from the Big Blind.

Flop came 7 9 8 . Emanuele checked, Ranno bet, Emanuele raised and Ranno went all in.

Emanuele held 6 5 and Ranno J Q . Then the turn came: 10 . Straight flush against straight flush! Sadly, there’s no bad beat jackpot. The river 4 obviously didn’t change anything. The pot was roughly 200k.

We’ve just entered level 12 with blinds 1,5k/3k – the last level before late registration for the Main Event closes!

On the flop 10 3 5 , Jevgenijs Sapronenko goes all in and gets called by Anders Hansson.

Jevgenijs holds 7 7 and Anders has 6 10 . Even though Anders is already in the lead, he improves to quads with the 10 10 runout.

Even though we will focus maily on day 2 of the €1 500 Main Event, we will bring you live updates from the €660 PLO Hi-Lo ring event which starts at 14:00. There is also the €350 Texas NLH Online Ring Event which is played on Olybet at 20:00 tonight.

The first hand of day 2 has been dealt! 313 players seeks to survive the 10 levels that are going to be played today. However, late registration is open for the first two 40 minute levels.

After flight 1D finished last night, we are now ready for day 2! Here follow the chip counts from every first flight. Simply type CTRL and F on your keyboard to search up your favourite player!

Flight 1A

Flight 1B

Flight 1C

Flight 1D

A whopping 115 players advanced from flight 1B to day 2 which will be played tomorrow (friday 22nd). These are the fortunate 115 and their current chip counts prior to day 2:

Flight 1C has officially ended! Out of the 260 players, 115 survived and will return tomorrow for day 2. We will publish chip counts as soon as possible.

Flight 1D is currently at level 2 with 64 entries.

In the second to last hand of the day, we saw a three-way all in pre-flop over at table 12! It was between Jaime Cases Susarte Q Q , Mikko Ylämäki A K and Víctor Iglesias A Q .

The board ran out 8 7 Q 6 2 , seeing Jaime taking down the 130k and Víctor busting out.

Four more hands will be played in flight 1C, then the remaning players will bag their chips. Of course, we will publish a chip count for the players advancing to day 2 as quickly as possible.

Play in flight 1D will proceed until level 10 is finished. 54 players are currently in.

It seems like everytime we visited table 16, Pyry Kekäläinen and Anders Hansson have tangled with eachother. This time we see the board 5 10 A J 3 . Pyry bets 40k into the 120k pot and Anders is thinking, thinking, thinking…

Eventually the Swede decides to fold, showing the A . Pyry throws up Q 4 for the air bluff and takes down a pot that itself is over average stack.

We arrive to table 14 with 6 J 9 3 revealed. Hai Hoang checks, Lars Jonsson bets 7,5k. On the Button, Christoffer Overgaard Bering calls the bet, and then Hai raises to 20,5k. Lars gets out of the way, and after a while Christoffer goes all in, quickly called by Hai.

Hai has 9 9 for a flopped set, whilst Christoffer is looking for a third heart with his A 8 . River is a black card and we’ve lost Christoffer.

Look at that; the clock struck 19:00! This means two things: the last starting flight to the Main Event, 1D, is starting, and the 1C players move into the final blind levels with 1k/2k.

So far, 22 players have entered 1D.

Juha Nikkola goes all in pre-flop UTG+1 and gets called by Pyry Kekäläinen from the Big Blind. Juha holds A 9 and Pyry has him dominated with A J .

Board runs out 4 7 8 A 10 giving Juha the flush on the river. He survives!

Over at table 18, Aleksei Gontsar check-raised Oskar Ojaveer’s 8k bet to 20k on the 9 2 8 J Q board. Oskar eventually calls.

With Aleksei holding 10 Q and Oskar holding 10 A , they chop the pot with the same straight. Friendly!

Deividas Butnoras raises to 4k from the Cut-Off and Juuso Elsinen defends from the Big Blind.

We’re treated with the 9 9 8 flop and action goes check-check. Turn is 9 and Deividas bets 3,5k after Juuso checked. Juuso calls the bet.

River is 10 and action goes check-check. “I have a nine” Juuso says as he shows 10 9 . Quads are good.

155/255 currently in flight 1C, meaning 100 people have busted so far.

On table 16, there is a battle on the J 8 5 flop between Anders Hansson and Viktors Kurovs. Viktor bets 10k on the flop which Anders calls.

On the turn 2 , Anders checks and Viktors goes all in. Anders looks confused for one second before he calls.

Viktors reveals his nut flush draw with A 6 , which puts Anders in the lead with 9 8 . The river reads J and Anders is improving his already impressive stack even further.

The players are on a 20 minute break. This is the last break before they will play the last two levels.

Out of the 170 players that are in, Finland’s Joel Holmberg seems to be the chipleader.

Greger Larsson finds himself all in preflop against Jevgenijs Zotovs. Greger holds 7 7 and Jevgenijs has 8 8 .

The board reveals K 5 A 10 5 and the eights of Jevgenijs stand. Prior to this hand, Greger had lost two big pots with nut flush against full house, and ace king against queens.

At table 27, Steven Tool makes it 3k (blinds 600/1 200). Viktor Kurovs shoves his stack around 20k and Steven makes the call.

Steven holds A K and Viktor has 8 8 . The board runs out 5 3 6 9 J and Viktor doubles!

We visit table 6 with the board 3 5 K 6 10 , where Mauro-Mark Musting has put Valters Cernevskis all in. It is quite the dramatic fashion as Valters talks to himself what possible hands he is blocking. Eventually the clock gets called and Valters has 30 seconds to make it decision. With a few seconds left, he folds and Mauro-Mark takes down the pot.

Niko Palonen raises to 2,1k from the Hi-Jack (blinds 500/1 000). Agnius Ismailovas raises to 6,3k from the Button and Niko calls.

The flop comes 3 10 2 . Niko checks and Agnius bets 4,6k, a bet which gets called by Niko.

Turn reveals the Q and Niko checks again. Agnius this time fires 11k, and Niko decides to go all in. He gets called quickly by Agnius.

Niko holds Q Q and Agnius has A Q . The river bricks out and Niko doubles.

The dinner break is over at 186 players are currently in flight 1C of the Main Event. We’re halfway through level 7 and as previously mentioned, we’re playing level 10 out.

The players are ow on a 20 minute dinner break. Jun Beum Chum looks to be in the top with his 210k stack.

We arrive at table 20 on the 6 A 2 K Q board. Claudio Cecchi bets 10,5k into the estimated 20k pot and eventually gets called by Viktors Semjonovs. Claudio reveals his A A and takes home the pot.

We arrive to table 10 on the board 7 8 J 7 , when the pot is 14k. After the Small Blind checks, Henri Wagner bets 7,2k. Calle moves all in, resulting in folds from both the Small Blind-player and Henri.

Level 5 of flight 1C has just concluded. This means that we are halfway, seeing as we will play out level 10 before the remaining players advance to day 2.

Blinds are now 400/800 and average stack is 57k.

On table 16, Einar Hersdal and Anders Hansson gets it in on the river, when the board reads 9 9 6 5 A .

Einar holds 9 6 for a flopped full house. However, Anders rivered a better full house holding A A . This saw Anders doubling up and he is now playing 170k. Average is 56,5k.

Ranno Sootla, who won the €660 Mystery Bounty WSOPC Ring Event a couple of days ago, has entered flight 1C of the Main Event!

Ranno just bet re-raised Justas Semaska’s river bet on the 6 5 Q 9 J board. Justas then went all in and Ranno folded.

We arrive at table 16 on the board 2 6 9 7 5 when Einar Hersdal bets 7k into the 18k pot. He gets called by Martti Keel. Einar shows 7 5 for the two pair which takes down the pot.

Andreas Werner opens from UTG+1, before Deividas Butnoras raises from the seat behind. Andreas moves all in and gets snap called by Deividas pocket aces.

The board runs out K 7 6 J 10 and Andreas’ Ace Jack is no good.

Two of the 190 players currently in flight 1C of the Main Event are Calle Hansson and his father Anders Hansson. Wouldn’t it be a cool story if they were to play Heads Up for the title on sunday?!

On the 9 10 Q 4 board, Robert Svedin moves all in against Jarmo Salonen. After some consideration, Jarmo calls with K 10 . Bad news for him as Robert has a straight with K J . No chop as the river bricks ut with 2 and Robert doubles up.

We see the players return back from the dinner break on blinds 200/400, with a Big Blind Ante of 500. Average stack is 52 473.

While the 168 flight 1C players are on a break, we circulate around the tables looking to identify the chip leader. We have two contendats: Andrius Bielskis and Christopher Berggren. They both play around 140k.

Only about 2 hours in, and flight 1C of the Main Event already have more entries than day 1A which had 139. The players keep on entering the 1C flight.

Renars Sakauskis raises to 800 UTG and gets two callers, one of them being Andrius Bielskis from the Cut-Off.

Flop is 5 9 J . The player from the Small Blind checks, Renars bets 1k before Andrius raises to 2,8k. The Small Blind gets out of the way and Renars calls.

Turn brings 10 . After Renars checks, Andrius bets 6,8k which gets called by Renars.

On river 7 , Renars checks and Andrius fires 18,2k. Renars eventually calls.

Andrius shows K Q for the nut straight and takes down a considerable pot.

I am just in time for the conclusion of a hand over at table 11. Magnus Pukk bet 2,6k into the 3k pot on the 4 9 9 J 10 board. Andrius Bielskis eventually calls and Magnus shows the straight with his 7 8 . Andrius mucks.

Maciej Komorowski opens up Under the Gun. He gets re-raised by UTG+1, Luca Beretta, who makes it 3k. Maciej calls.

The action goes check-check on the 9 10 J flop. Turn falls 6 . Maciej checks, Luca bets 4k, and Maciej then raises to 10,5k. Luca calls and we will see the river with 27k in the pot.

River brings us 4 and Maciej bets 15k. Luca elects to fold.

We arrive to table 19 on the board 7 K A 5 2 . Björne Lindberg is faced with a 10k bet from Dmitri Dukanov. Eventually he calls and Dmitri shows A Q , seeing Björne mucking his hand. Dmitri takes down a pot at roughly 40k. Björne revealed he held pocket queens.

Cut-Off opens to 700 (blinds 100/300) and gets called by Henri Wagner from the button, the player in the Small Blind, as well as from Minho Cho from the Big Blind.

The flop comes 5 2 J . It checks to Henri Wagner who bets 1,6k. Minho is the only one who calls and we go to the turn.

Turn brings 4 and the action goes check-check. We see A on the river. Minho checks, Henri bets 2,9k and Minho quickly raises to 8k, possibly representing the straight. Henri doesn’t believes Minho and calls.

Minho shows Q 2 for the bluff, and Henri takes down the pot with A 10 .

Sweden’s Björne Lindberg, who cashed in the two ring events he played this far, has taken his seat in the Main Event. Will Sweden see its first ring winner through Björne?

Look at it, the magnificent WSOPC Tallinn Main Event Ring! Only one player will be crowned the champion on sunday and put the ring on.

Except for me, Christoffer “The Oyster” Karlén who is managing this live blog on pokerlistings.com, legendary finnish poker reporter Juhani Tyrisevä is managing the Finnish blog over at pokerlistings.fi. Starstrucked!

The initial 50+ entries have doubled during the first 25 minutes, seeing as 107 players now are in the tournament.

In just ten minutes, about 20 more people registered for flight 1C of the Main Event. We’re now at 88 entries and counting.

The only two Ring Events today are 1C and 1D of the Main Event. These are what we will follow. We will try to throw in some more player interviews.

Get ready for more Main Event action! Flight 1C will start in about five minutes. So far, 59 players are registered and this flight seeks to be the biggest one.

It was around 4 am last night when Norway’s Jon Kyte won the €1 100 PLOC WSOPC Tallinn Ring Event! Except the ring, Jon also collected the paycheck of €34 780.

As chip leader Jon Kyte knocks out Mohammad Halafi in 18th place, the remaining 17 players are now in the money!

17 players are left in the PLO 4&5 Event. When 16 players, a full redraw and chip count will be made by the tournament officials.

It was about one hour ago that flight 1B of Main Event finished. The following 42 players survived the day and moves on to day 2 with the following chip stacks:

For the 22 remaining players in the €1 100 PLO, seat draw and chip count is as follows:

Table 1:

Table 2:

Table 3:

45 contendants for the WSOPC Ring returned to the €1 100 PLO 4&5 after the dinner break. The tournament will see its champion being crowned tonight.

When three tables remain, a seat draw and chip count will be made and we will start to follow the event until it is finished.

In 38 minutes, level 10 is finished and flight 1B will be concluded. When this happens, we will publish the chip counts and the people who have advanced to day 2 on Friday as quickly as possible.

In approximately one hour, we will shift focus to the PLO 4&5 event and follow that until it is finished.

It could be Cyprus’ Georgios Tsouloftas who is the current chip leader in Main Event flight 1B, with his 230k. Average stack is 83,5k.

The Main Event players are now on a 20 minute break. We will try to identify the chip leader.

The €1 100 PLO 4&5 players are now on a one hour dinner break. 46 players are still in, and it’s possible to register for the tournament during the break. Norways Jon Kyte is currently chiplead with around 275k.

We arrive to table 2 which helds to board 5 6 J 9 10 . Tarmi Roope bets out and gets snaped call by David Spysschaert. Tarmi has a straight with 7 8 , but David’s straight with 8 Q is higher.

Tomi Räsänen min-raises to 2k from UTG+1 over at table 7. Ronny Albrigsten re-raises to 8,5 from the Cut-Off. Tomi decides to go All In and Ronny snap calls!

Tomi: 10 10
Ronny: A J

Board runs out K A Q 2 2 , seeing Tomi double up.

When we arrive to table 6, Victor Prior is all in with A 10 . He’s up against A Q but the board 10 K 3 9 K favours him and he doubles up.

Minutes before the dinner break is over, we manage to have a little chat with Lithuanias Albert Ostrovskij. He was down to 30k has fought his way back to start stack, playing about 52k on the current 500/1 000 blinds level.

Albert played couple of the Ring Events prior to the Main Event, and he is comitted to bringing av WSOPC Ring back home to Lithuania!

58 players remaining in the PLO 4&5! We will continue to update from the event from time to time, but when we are down to the final two tables (and flight 1B of Main Event has ended), we will follow the PLO 4&5 action very closely!

The players in the Main Event are now going for a dinner break. We had a small chat with Germany’s Stefan Bittger who’s currently played a bit over average.

What caught our interest with Stefan, was his two lucky charms on the table guarding his chip stack – a smurf and a amethyst stone. The smurf is a companion given to him by a friend, and the amethyst stone brings good energy to the table.

Stefan traveled to Tallinn and the Olympic Park Casino from Germany and has participated in a couple of events prior to the Main Event. Will he manage to bring the WSOPC Ring home to Germany?

Out of the 95 registered players, 59 remain in the €1 100 PLO 4&5, however, the late registration is still open.

Right now, 96 players have registered for €1 500 Main Event flight 1B, 10 of them which have busted. The players just entered level 6 with blinds 400/800 and a Big Blind Ante of 800. AS previously mentioned, they will play level 10 out.

When the players go on a longer dinner break in 40 minutes, we plan on doing a couple of player interviews.

We wisited table 5 where Semjons Karuckis raised to 1,3k from the Lo-Jack (blinds 300/600). From the Hi-Jack, Georgios Skarparis 3-bet to 2,7k. Semjons elected to call.

Flop came 10 6 8 and after Semjons checked, Georgios bet 3k, a bet which was called by Semjons.

Turn revealed the Q and this time, Semjons led ut with 5k in the 16k pot. Georgios called fairly quickly.

On the river J , Semjons slowed down. Georgios then bet 8,5k and after some consideration, Semjons decided to fold.

Adriá Comas makes it 1,3k from the Lo-Jack (blinds 300/600k). He gets called by Jonas Neukirch (Hi-jack), Rimantas Boguzas (Small Blind) and Rolands Norietis (Big Blind).

The flop comes A J 5 and all four players check. Turn brings 4 and Rimantas leads ut for 5,2k. Rolands calls the bet.

On river 9 Rimantas bets 15,5k in the 16k pot. After thinking it over, Rolands calls. Rimantas shows 8 6 for the busted straight draw and Rolands takes home the pot with A 10 .

Kert Hallik makes it 1,4k from the Button (blinds 200/500) and gets called by Vilius Zabarauskas (SB) and Josep Pastor (BB).

Flop comes 4 K A . The blinds checks to Kert who bets 1,3k. Vilius gets out of the way before Josep calls.

Turn brings out Q . After Josep checks, Kert bets 2k which Josep then calls.

It goes check-check on river 9 . Josep shows A 10 and Kert mucks his hand. We’ll never know what he had.

So far, 72 players have entered the €1 100 PLO 4&5. 58 players are remaining, one of them being Aki Pyysing, who finished third in the €1 100 Texas NLH earlier this week.

The players in flight 1B of the Main Event are now on a 20 minute break. Kelly Kellner seems to be our current chipleader with about 130k. Average stack is 55k. Players will return to blinds 200/500 and ante 500 on the Big Blind.

74 players have entered flight 1B of the Main Event so far. Five of these have busted:

Player	Position
Andrej Koriakin	70
Vladimiras Meckovskis	71
Rene Peterkopf	72
Mustafa Biz	73
Georgios Tsouloftas	74

At table one, Stanislovas Norkus raises from Under the Gun to 1k (blinds 200/400) and gets called by Topi Palenius (UTG+1) as well as Kert Hallik (UTG+2).

Flop comes 3 4 J . Stanislovas bets 1,5k, Topi folds and Kert calls.

Turn reads 4 and action goes check-check. On the 7 river, Stanislovas bets 3,5k and Kert calls. As Stanislovas shows J K , Kert mucks his hand and Stanislovas takes down a nice pot.

Raivo Pinsel raises from Under the Gun to 700 (blinds 100/300). He gets called the Kriss Riekstins (Small Blind) and Celso Del Almeida Rolim Junior (Big Blind).

The flop comes 6 2 J . It checks to Raivo who bets 1,2k. He gets called solely by Celso and we head to the K . Raivo now bets 3,1k, leading to Celso folding 10 10 .

We arreive to table 8 on the Q 5 A J K when Sandis Stikuts is faced with a decision wether to call Mairo Tori’s river bet or not. Eventually he does; Mairo shows the K 5 and takes down a pot worth around 3k as Sandis folds.

We take a gander over at table 2 where Meckovskis Vladimiras opens UTG with a raise to 400 (blinds 100/200). He gets four callers, one being Samuli Tero from the Cut Off.

The flop treats us with A 5 3 and it checks to Samuli who bets the pot. He gets called by Meckovskis as well as Eha Pinsel from UTG+1.

The turn is 3 and Meckovskis now leads ut. Eha gets out of the way and Samuli calls.

On river 2 , Meckovskis bets 2k and gets called by Samuli. Samuli shows A 3 for a Full House, but since Meckovskis holds 5 5 and a bigger Full House, he takes down the pot.

13 players have registered in the PLO4&5 so far. The late registration period will close after the dinner break following level 10, and the aim to finish the tournament today.

12 minutes in and 32 players have registered for the Main Event, and counting! Just as yesterday, they will play out level 10 before the survivors advances to day 2 (Friday 22nd).

It might be raining outside, but the atmosphere is bright inside the Olympic Park Casino! Today, we have two WSOPC Ring Events on the schedule: flight 1B of the €1 500 Main Event, as well as the €1 100 PLO 4&5. Both are starting now at 12:00.

The €555 Eight Game was finished last night, with Cyprus’ Onoufriou Antonios grabbing the WSOPC ring! The “Results” tab with full payouts will be updated as soon as we get the winner picture.

The “results” tab has been updated with the €660 Mystery Bounty payouts.

Flight 1A of the €1 500 Main Event has come to an end! 63 players out of the total 139 survived level 10. They will return to day 2 (Friday 22nd) with the following chip count:

Yusuke Tanaka looked down at A Q and went All In preflop. Unlucky for him, Estonia’s Ranno Sootla held A K and quickly called.

With the board revealing 10 J 10 7 2 , the tournament is over: Ranno Sootla is the winner of the €660 Mystery Bounty WSOPC Tallinn Ring Event!

Dream spot for Vilius Zabarauskas as he finds the A Q in the Small Blind. However, Ranno Sootia looks down at J J in the Big Blind and calls Vilius’ All In bet.

We see a 7 J 9 Q 4 board and Vilius Zabarauskas is out in third place.

Urmo Velvelt puts in his last Big Blind from Under the Gun with A 8 . He gets called by Yusuke Tanaka from the Button 6 4 and Vilius Zabaraouskas J 3 from the Small Blind.

This is when Raano Sootla finds J J in the Big Blind and raises to 325k. Yusuke and Vilius folds.

The board runs out 10 4 9 8 5 and Urmo Velvelt is out in 4th place.

We’re playing blinds 25k/50k. Raano Sootla (1,1M) calls from the Small Blind with 7 6 . Urmo Velvelt plays 1M and raises from the Big Blind to 175k with A 10 . Raano then shoves and gets snap-called by Urmo.

The board runs out 9 5 5 6 6 and Sootla doubles up.

We visited the other room where the Main Event flight 1A is played and had a chat with player Andreas Kaju!

Andreas is an Estonian who used to play semi-professional togheter with other countrymen back in the 00’s. Today, they all have other projects but are still playing poker casually.

Andreas is currently playing 26k in the Main Event, after calling off a 4-bet squeeze shove from the Big Blind with an off-suited king queen. Sadly for Andreas, the opponent held the ace next to his king and made a dent in Andreas stack.

Yusuke Tanaka plays 1,5M on blinds 15k/30k and finds K 9 on the Cut-Off. He raises it up to 60k and Vilius Zabarauskas (who also has 1,5M in chips) calls from the button with Q Q .

The blinds get out of the way and we’re treated with the A J 3 flop. Yusuke bets 70k into the 195k pot and Vilius calls.

The turn is another ace, the A . Yusuke keeps on betting and puts in 125k. Vilius isn’t going anywhere with the queens and calls once again.

The river is the 10 and Yusuke showes his 1,3m into the 585k pot. Vilius did not find the call and Yusuke takes it down. Andreas Höglund screams “what a move!” from the commentator’s booth.

The late registration period of the €555 Eight Game Event is still open for about one hour. 56 of the so far 64 registered players are still in.

Marco attempts to limp in from the Small Blind with A 9 . Yusuke Tanaka wakes up with A Q in the Big Blind and re-raises. Marco won’t be pushed around and moves All In. He gets called by Yusuke.

The board is quite the rollercoaster ride with J 9 4 Q J and Marco goes out in 5th place.

96 players are still battling it out in the first flight of the Main Event. You can still buy in to the tournament.

The tournament will soon enter level 8 and they will finish play for the day after level 10.

After defending 4 2 from the Big Blind against Urmo Velvelt’s opening from the button, Yusuke Tanaka flops a straight at 6 3 5 . The board ran out 7 5 and Yusuke got some decent value being called on the turn, before Urmo folded to the river value bet.

Björne Lindberg had 6 Big Blinds when he went all in with A 5 . He got called by Urmo Velvelt who held 6 6 .

We got to see J 8 K 4 4 and we say goodbye to Björne in 6th place.

Martin Sedlak went all in with 4 4 from the Button, getting called by Marco Baglioni with 5 5 from the Big Blind.

The board 8 9 10 3 K did not help Martin and he is out in 7th.

Yanis Sahli is the first one to exit from the €660 Mystery Bounty.

There is three-way All In action between Yanis 10 10 , Yusuke Tanaka A Q and big stack Vilius Zabarauskas 6 6 . The board 5 K Q 3 9 sees Yusuke collecting Yanis bounty and we are now seven players remaining.

We have eight players on the final table of the €660 Mystery Bounty Ring Event!

Seat	Player	Chips
1.	Marco Baglioni	250 000
2.	Yusuke Tamaka	275 000
3.	Vilius Zabarauskas	1 490 000
4.	Yanis Sahli	210 000
5.	Björne Lindberg	220 000
6.	Ranno Sootia	1 185 000
7.	Urmo Velvelt	945 000
8.	Martin Sedlak	345 000

There are currently 10 players remaining in the €660 Mystery Bounty:

125 players have registered for €1 500 Main Event so far on this first flight. They are currently on level 5 and will play level 10 out today.

In the 8-game, there are currently 51 entries. They will finish today.

Björne Lindberg finds himself All In pre-flop three-ways holding the K K . He’s up against A 8 and A 9 , and is a huge favourite for a 1,5M pot! The flop 3 A 6 though otherwise and Björne didn’t improve after the board ran out 7 10 .

Except for the Mystery Envelopes, the biggest one containing €10 000, these are the payouts for top 16:

Play recently commenced in the €660 Mystery Bounty with the following players:

Ring Event number seven, €555 8-Game, has officially begun with 38 players registered so far.

It’s the first break of the €1 500 Main Event flight 1A, and we had a little chat with a player over at table 9, Karlis Kreslins!

Karlin arrived to Tallinn the 14th and is playing everyday during the WSOPC festival. The Latvian won two €1 500 tickets through GGPoker and used the first one of them for the Main Event Buy-in.

Even though Karlin mainly is an online player, he fancies the live scene and he was here in Tallinn just a couple of months ago during the Kings of Tallinn festival.

Karlin’s currently playing 75k in the Main Event. We will return with a beautiful picture of Karlin as soon as possible!

92 players have entered flight 1A of the €1 500 Main Event so far, with four people busted.

We’re down to 16 players in the €660 Mystery Bounty, which means two things: a complete table redraw will be made, and the 9 players who busted in day 2 will draw a mystery envelope for the tombola. The biggest envelope contains €10 000.

We are now ITM in the €660 Mystery Bounty!

On table 11, Joel Holmberg goes all in from the Hi-jack. It folds to Kriss Riekstins who goes all in with his even shorter stack.

Joel: J 10
Kriss: Q J

Joel spikes the flush on the 3 A 4 Q A board and Kriss is eliminated. However, there was a bust over at table 12 simultaneously, so two players share the 20th place payout.

We’re at the bubble of the €660 Mystery Bounty, when Martin Sedlak opens from the Cut-Off. Björne Lindberg shoves his 5BB stack from the Button. It folds back to Martin who calls.

Björne: 10 10
Martin: 8 8

The flop 7 6 9 sure is scary for Björne, but the runout is A 6 and the Swede survives and doubles up.

We arrive to table 8 when the 4 3 5 10 7 board already ran out. Rinalds Zimka bets 5k and Joakim Palm folds. Rinalds wins a nice pot.

There’s a battle between Janis Zablovskis and Martin Zobel at table 6, blind VS blind. Janis C-bets on the 2 8 2 flop and gets called. Turn brings 9 and the action repeats itself. River comes 4 and Janis bets once again. After a minutes consideration, Martin calls.

Martins wins the pot holdning 8 K , beating Janis’ A K .

We arrive to table 2 on the river where Mikael “Greenbay” Grönvik is faced with a decision after Torbjörn Larsen bets on the K 5 6 6 A . Greenbay calls with his A Q and gets to see A A .

We’re live from the first start flight in the prestigious €1 500 Main Event! So far, 47 people have registered for 1A.

It’s Tuesday the 19th and the first day of the Main Event! Today, we will follow all three Ring Events: the conclusion of the €660 Mystery Bounty, the €555 8 Game, and of course, day 1A of the €1 500 Main Event.

Except our live reporting here, we’re also doing live footage on our social media; make sure you follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!

Play in the €660 Mystery has concluded for the day, seeing 25 players getting some sleep before day 2 tomorrow at 12:00. The players are not yet ITM (20 will be), but tomorrow the “mystery envelopes” are introduced for the 25 remaining: bust and claim you envelope! The biggest envelope will contain a €10 000 paycheck.

Igor Pihela showed J 10 and gets called by Kaur Ajamaa’s 2 2 . We have a huge flip!

The board reads 9 6 4 3 9 and that settles it: Kaur Ajamaa is the winner of the €350 WSOPC Tallinn Ring Event!

After Kaor Ajamaa min-raised from the Button, Michela Tocci jams A 7 from the Small Blind. Igor Pihela Sr. folds from the Big Blind before Kaor calls with K J and we go to the flop.

The board runs out J 8 4 2 7 and Michela is eliminated. We are now Heads Up!

Rafael Lategui beats Aleksandr Arutjunov in the Heads Up of the €555 Deuce to Seven Ring Event and is the winner of the event! For this, he takes home €6 300!

Both players “stand pat” on the last round. Rafael held 8 7 5 4 3 and Aleksandr 9 8 5 4 2 .

Let’s have an overview of what’s left for today: we’re Heads Up in the €555 Deuce to Seven, we’re three-handed in the €350, and then we also have the €660 Mystery Bounty.

The last mentioned one currently has 150 people registered, with latereg lasting for maybe 30 more minutes.

All of these tournaments are Ring Events.

After todays action, we will update the “result” tab with all Ring Events finished thus far.

In the €555 Deuce to Seven Ring-Event, Petteri Kalenius has recently busted and Heads Up will now commence between Rafael Rategui and Aleksandr Arutjunov.

Unfortunately we missed the action, but we see Merida Tanel leave the €350 Ring Event in 4th place, cashing €6 400.

Three players are now remaining, playing for the WSOPC Ring.

The short-stacked Joshua Stewart finds himself all in with 2 5 against Tocci Michele’s Q 10 . The board runs out 6 8 4 K J and Joshua is eliminated.

Vilius Zabarauskas is eliminated from the €350 in 6th place, but he is €4 349 wealthier.

Norwegian’s Nils Kollandsrud busted in 7th place. He takes home €3 600.

Dominik Ostrowski shoves from UTG+2. He gets called by Kaur Ajamaa.

Kaur: J A
Dominik: K Q

The board reveals 10 J 5 J 10 and Dominik takes home €2 900 for his 8th place finish.

Joshua Stewart opens UTG+2. Kaur Ajamaa shoves from the Hi-Jack for about 1M (blinds 25k/50k). Joshua calls.

Joshua has A K and Kaur A K . No one hits the flush and the chop the pot.

Evely Pihela is the first player to bust from the final table. She moves All In from UTG with roughly 250k (blinds 25k/50k) holding K 5 . Joshua Stewart calls from the Big Blind with A 10 and we head to the flop.

A 9 8 2 K sees Evely being eliminated.

Viljus Zabarauskas moves all in from the Cut-Off with K 10 and gets called by Dominik Ostrowski in the Big Blind who holds A 9 .

Viljus wasn’t far from a Royal Straight Flush on the 2 6 J Q A , but an ordinary straight was enough to win the hand.

Kimmo Kurko leaves the event in 4th place, as he lost to fellow Finn Petteri Kalenius.

Petteri stand pat before the last draw with 8 7 6 3 2 . Kimmos 9 7 5 4 2 was not good enough to extend his tournament life.

With Martin Piik busting out in 10th, we have nine players left and a final table. We will return with the new seat draw as soon as possible.

The €350 Ring Event will not see a Finnish player taking the title, as the nation’s lasst hope Juho Härkönen busted out in 10th. 10 players are left.

Even though there’s still 11 players left in the €350 Ring Event, let’s take a look at what the top 9 players will fight for:

Juho Heiska has busted the €555 Deuce to Seven WSOPC Ring Event in 5th place.

It’s up to Nils Kollandsrud, if the €350 WSOPC Ring will see a Norwegian owner. He doubled up his short stack just before the break with K Q against Q J . The flop brought a scare with 5 8 7 , but after turn and river revealed 7 K , Nils could breathe out and is one of the remaining 11 players.

We visit one of the two remaining tables in the €350, when Topi Palenius moves all in from UTG with 90k. Chipleader Kaur Ajamaa calls from UTG+1, before Jonas Ruginis moves All In from the Button. Kaur folds and we go to showdown.

Topi: J 8
Jonas: A Q

The board runs out 8 Q K K K .

This saw Topi leaving us in 14th place.

We are now down at two 8-handed tables in the €350 Ring Event.

We’re on the bubble for two tables. Vilius Zabarauskas has one of the biggest stacks.

The five remaining players in the Deuce to Seven-event har competing for the following:

Janne Nevalainen was the first person to bust from the €555 Deuce to Seven Ring Event Final Table.

In the €350 Ring Event, we are down to the final three tables.

There is a third WSOPC Ring Event today, that being the €660 Mystery Bounty. 45 players are currently registered in the tournament.

Several people already busted out of the €350 NLH Ring Event. 27 players are still fighting for the third WSOPC Ring of the week.

We will also follow the final table from the €555 Deuce to Seven-event which begins in just a minute with the following players:

It’s day 2 of PokerListings live coverage from the WSOPC Tallinn! Day 2 of the €350 NLH Ring Event has just started with 49 players. They are all ITM:

The bubble just burst in day 1B of the €350 Ring Event! 24 players advanced and will play day 2 tomorrow, alongside the 1A survivors.

The last Ring Event of the day, the WSOPC Tallinn €555 Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, has just begun with 14 registered players. The late registration is open until the break after level 7 has ended (which will be approximately 22:15). They will play down to the final table, which will be played tomorrow (18th) at 12:00.
