The event will feature a €1m ($1.08m) guaranteed main event and 12 WSOP 'ring events.'
Commenting on this announcement, Gregory Chochon, VP of the World Series of Poker, stated: “We are delighted that the first stop of the World Series of Poker Circuit new season is in Tallinn after last year’s successful event. We’ve seen the continuous growth of the sport and are happy to be in this partnership with OlyBet.”
Corey Plummer, CEO of OlyBet Group, added: “The passion for live events is part of the culture and strategy at OlyBet Group. The WSOP legacy is full of exciting and historical moments, and it continues to be one of the world’s leading gaming brands.
“We are already hosting the largest poker festival in Northern Europe with the Kings of Tallinn, and we expect to go further with the excitement and thrills of having this WSOP Circuit event with the 12 rings and €1m guaranteed main event.”
