World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to be held in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, this July, marking its return to Northern Europe.
The event will take place between 19-28 July and is held at the Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Hotel. Launched in collaboration with GGPoker, the event is hosted by OlyBet Group.
Featuring 12 WSOP ‘ring events,’ alongside a €1m ($1.07m) guaranteed main event tournament, the event is expected to draw thousands of poker enthusiasts to the city from across the globe.
Further, there will be 40+ side events paired with 24/7 Cash Games over the course of the festival. Winners of ring events will receive a cash prize, guaranteed entry to next year’s tournament, as well as a World Series of Poker gold ring.
