It’s a historic day at WSOPC Tallinn as the first-ever Sviten Special ring event gets underway, while the €1 million guaranteed Main Event storms into Day 2 here in the heart of the Estonian capital.
Sviten Special, also known as "Drawmaha," is a Swedish invention that blends five-card draw with pot-limit Omaha. Hugely popular in Scandinavia, the game is expected to draw a large and lively field today, with many Nordic players arriving here in Tallinn hoping to claim the honor of becoming the first-ever Sviten ring winner.
Meanwhile, the WSOPC Tallinn Main Event continues with 328 players having bagged chips across the Day 1 flights. Late registration remains open until Level 12, and the €1 million guarantee has already been shattered as players from around the globe have descended on Olympic Casino for a shot at the week's Main Event. The bubble is expected to burst later today, so anyone still in their seat this afternoon will be locking up a slice of the monster prize pool.
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s even more to look forward to as the €1,100 NLH Mystery Bounty also gets underway today.
The action isn't all confined to Friday, though, as Thursday also saw another ring awarded, as Krzysztof Budka triumphed in the €1,100 8-Game Final to win €22,390 and secure a €5,000 Ticket to Paradise package.
On top of it all, there’s the usual packed schedule of satellites and cash games, with the Sviten Special and Main Event taking center stage ahead of what’s shaping up to be a thrilling weekend in Tallinn.

| 12:00 p.m. | Ring Event #5: €1,500 Main Event Day 2 |

One of the best things about WSOPC Tallinn is the huge amount of mixed games action on offer, and that steps up another level today as the first-ever €555 Sviten Special ring event gets underway.
Although it's been a regular feature of previous Tallinn festivals as a side event, this is the first time the popular Scandinavian game has been awarded ring status, and there’s a real sense of excitement building here at OlyBet's Olympic Park Casino.
Swedish Sviten Special champion Peter La Terra is expected to be one of the players contesting the inaugural crown today, and if you want to learn more about Sviten Special, you can check out an explainer from the legend himself on OlyBet’s YouTube.
After five starting flights, it’s time for Day 2 of the festival’s feature event, the €1 million guaranteed WSOPC Tallinn Main Event. A total of 327 players have returned to the tables today, with late registration still open and the field continuing to grow. A record turnout looks well within reach here in the Estonian capital.
Estonian poker legend Markku Koplimaa leads the pack heading into Day 2 and will be aiming to add to his career live earnings of more than $1.5 million. But with a full day of poker ahead and two more still to come, there’s plenty of play left before anyone can start thinking about the final table.
What we do know is that the €1 million guarantee has already been smashed, and we’re in for an exciting weekend as the battle to become the next WSOPC Tallinn Main Event champion continues.
Thursday saw another ring awarded here at WSOPC Tallinn as Poland’s Krzysztof Budka took down the €1,100 8-Game Final for €22,390 and a coveted Ticket to Paradise package.
Budka is no stranger to mixed game success, having picked up his first WSOP Circuit ring back in 2022 at King’s Resort in Rozvadov, where he won a €1,100 PLO5 event for €24,174. That same year, he also earned honors here in Tallinn, capturing the €350 OlyBet Holiday Special PLO4/PLO5 for €5,050.
The Polish mixed game specialist battled through a tough final table after 16 players returned for Day 2. You can find the full final results below:
