2023 WSOPC Tallinn Day 9: Holmberg Leads Main Event

The atmosphere was electric on Thursday, Sept. 21 at the 2023 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Tallinn at our plush surroundings of Olympic Park Casino and the adjoining Hilton Tallinn Park even though no player claimed a coveted WSOPC gold ring. Yesterday boasted the final two opening flights of the €1 million guaranteed WSOPC Tallinn €1,500 Main Event, a few side events, and, of course, cash games running nonstop on the casino floor.

Check out below what happened on Thursday, Sept. 21, and what to expect on Friday.

Joel Holmberg Leads WSOPC Tallinn Main Event

The leaderboard of the €1 million guaranteed Event #6: WSOPC Tallinn €1,500 Main Event looks a bit different after the final two opening flights were completed on Thursday.

The top two players heading into Friday’s Day 2 are both from Finland and both advanced from yesterday’s Day 1c with Joel Holmberg leading the way with 318,000 followed by Jonatan Fors with 297,000.

The Estonian duo of Day 1b chip leader Urmo Velvelt (293,000) and Tarmo Tammel (290,000) along with Lithuanian crusher Mantas Bagocius (284,500).

The four opening flights attracted 617 entries with 282 players advancing to Day 2, which kicks off Friday at noon.

Norway’s Jon Kyte won the sole World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring winner on Tuesday, Sept. 19 during the 2023 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Tallinn at the Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park. Meanwhile, Estonia’s Urmo Velvelt bagged the overall chip lead in the Main Event on Day 1b, and three side event champions were crowned.

Check out below what happened on Wednesday, Sept. 20, and what to expect on Thursday:

Jon Kyte Wins Event #8: €1,100 PLO 4 & 5 Cards (€34,780)

Norway’s Jon Kyte is known for his strong play whether it is in cash games or tournaments or whether it is in hold’em or in mixed games. Kyte put on a dazzling live-streamed display at OlyBet.tv in Event #8: €1,100 PLO 4 & 5 Cards until he defeated Finland’s Olli Rummukainen heads-up en route to the title.

The Finnish contingent was once again left without hardware even though the trend continued at ring event final tables where the majority of the players were Finns.

Two-time WSOP champion Juha Helppi was the most accomplished tournament player at the final table but his hopes for a ring were dashed after bowing out in seventh place for €5,880.

Juha Helppi

Two other Finnish players were also among the first three to exit including Olli Kokko (sixth – €7,200) and 2017 Kings of Tallinn Main Event champion Matias Knaapinen (eighth – €4,700). The sole local player in Igor Pihela Jr. hit the rail in fifth place for €9,000 leaving just three Finns and Kyte in the hunt for the bracelet with Kyte holding a commanding chip lead.

One by one, Rummukainen (second – €23,250), Petteri Kalenius (third – €15,920), and Janne Peltoniemi (fourth – €11,800) hit the rail leaving Kyte the victory after approximately 14 hours of play in this single day ring event.

Also of note, this was remarkably Kalenius’s third-time he finished in third place in an event during the WSOP Circuit Tallinn including his impressive run in Event #4: Pot Limit Deuce to Seven Triple Draw ring event.

The fifth and fourth gold rings were awarded on Tuesday, Sept. 19 during the 2023 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Tallinn at our luxurious flagship home of Olympic Park Casino and the adjoining Hilton Tallinn Park. WSOP bracelet winner and local Estonian hero Ranno Sootla won the first ring of the day with Cyprus’ Antonios Onoufriou claiming the second ring in the wee hours of the morning. Meanwhile, the excitement continues on Wednesday with another ring on the line along with players battling in the second of four opening flights in the €1 million guaranteed WSOPC Tallinn €1,500 Main Event.

Check out below what happened on Tuesday, Sept. 19, and what to expect on Wednesday:

Ranno Sootla Wins Event #5: €660 Mystery Bounty (€10,000)

The two-day Event #5: €660 No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty provided tons of excitement with 164 entries getting into the action on Monday’s opening day. Just 25 players survived the opening day and came in on Tuesday when our live reporting at OlyBet.tv began ready to open mystery bounties in the hope of also grabbing a share of the prize pool with just 20 places paid at least a €325 min-cash.

The action was live-streamed at OlyBet.tv when the field was down to just two tables of eight players each. Eventually, it was just Estonia’s Ranno Sootla and Japan’s Yusuke Tanaka battling it out for the final bounties and the gold ring. Sootla had the lead throughout the heads-up match which ended on a cooler for Tanaka when his ace-queen ran into ace-king to claim €7,020 plus and additional €1,500 in mystery bounties for a total haul of €8,520.

Yusuke Tanaka

Meanwhile, Sootla, who these days mostly focuses on cash games, added a precious WSOP Circuit gold ring to compliment his WSOP bracelet and will get an invite to the $1 million guaranteed Tournament of Champions bracelet-event freeroll during the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas. Of course, Sootla won a decent chunk of money in addition to the bling he earned with first place paying €10,000 and Sootla earning another €5,000 in bounties to bank €15,000.

Meanwhile, the fourth-place finisher Urmo Velvelt won the most money in the event thanks to adding €16,500 in bounties to the fourth-place prize of €4,060 for a total of €20,560.

Antonios Onoufriou Wins Event #7: €555 8-Game Mix (€11,370)

The one-day Event #7: €555 8-Game Mix was a marathon, to say the least with it taking nearly 14 hours for Cyprus’ Antonios Onoufriou to defeat Finland’s Robert Relander heads-up en route to the title and the €11,370 top prize.

The event proved to be popular among mixed game enthusiasts with 79 runners creating a €37,920. The tournament rotated between eight different poker formats featuring flop, stud, and draw games.

It appeared the title would go to a player from Finland with just six players left with five players from Finland and just the sole Cypriot in the mix. However, Kim Kallman, Tomas Javanainen, Antti Karkkainen, and Juho Heiska all lost their stacks before Onoufriou defeated Relander to claim the coveted gold ring.

Joni Rantamaki Leads Event #6: €1,500 WSOPC Tallinn Main Event

The highlight of the WSOPC Tallinn kicked off yesterday with the first of the four opening flights in the €1 million guaranteed Event #6: WSOPC Tallinn €1,500 Main Event.

Players surviving Friday’s Day 2 will compete for two more days until the inaugural WSOPC Tallinn champion is crowned.

Thus far, it is Finland’s Joni Rantamaki making the most of the Main Event as he managed to bag the chip lead on Tuesday with 272,000 in chips. Meanwhile, not only did Estonia’s Igor Pihela Sr. advance with the second-largest stack of 257,000 but his son made it a family affair with Igor Pihela Jr. surviving with the fifth-largest stack of 210,000.

2023 WSOPC Tallinn Day 5: Lategui and Ajamaa Win Rings

The third and fourth gold rings were awarded on Monday, Sept. 18 as the 2023 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Tallinn at our plush surroundings of Olympic Park Casino and the adjoining Hilton Tallinn Park in Uruguay’s Martin Lategui and Estonia’s Kaur Ajamaa. Tuesday is an even bigger day as not only will there be two more gold rings awarded but also today is the start of the €1 million guaranteed WSOPC Tallinn €1,500 Main Event.

Check out below what happened on Monday, Sept. 18, and what to expect on Tuesday.

Martin Lategui Wins Event #4: €555 PL 2-7 Triple Draw (€6,300)

Uruguay’s Martin Lategui came to Tallinn with one goal in mind which was to win a WSOP Circuit gold bracelet. Now, his goal will be to win a second one as he agreed to a heads-up even-chop deal with runner-up Aleksandr Arutjunov (second – €5,800) before going on to win the event for the money left to play for to earn €6,300, the coveted gold ring, and an invitation to the $1 million Tournament of Champions bracelet freeroll taking place during the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas.

Aleksandr Arutjunov

“The WSOP Circuit ring was important,” Lategui said to OlyBet after his victory. “It was the most important part of the tournament. I love it. It was my first hope but hopefully not my last one.”

It appeared this event would belong to the Finns as when the final table began on the live-stream at OlyBet.tv on Monday four of the six remaining players in the money were from Finland including chip leader Juho Heiska.

The four Finns went out one by one with Lategui taking the lead which he held until heads-up play after first eliminating Janne Nevalainen in sixth place for €1,300. Heiska then blew up his stack to Arutjunov to join Nevalainen on the rail in fifth place for €1,850 before country-mates Petteri Kalenius (third – €3,650) and Kimmo Kurko (fourth – €2,700) to leave Arutjunov and Lategui close in chips to start the heads-up battle.

Arutjunov was slightly behind in chips when the even-money deal was made but then stormed ahead to take a massive 3:1 chip advantage. However, Lategui stormed back with back-to-back coolers for Arutjunov with eight-high beating nine-high on both hands and the rest was history.

Later in the day, Estonia’s Kaur Ajamaa became the second local player to win a ring in as many days as he joined Event #2: €1,100 champion Aleksei Smirnov with a ring of his own after shipping Event #3: €350 No-Limit Hold’em for €17,050.

Ajamaa agreed to a three-way deal with Igor Pihela Sr. (second €16,050) and Italy’s Michele Tocci (third – €16,050) before eliminating both of his opponents to collect the extra €1,000 left to play for.

Igor Pihela Sr., Kaur Ajamaa and Michele Tocci

Pihela Sr. wasn’t the only Pihela in the mix on the second and final day. In fact, there were three family members advancing from the original 383 entry field to the final 49 players that advanced to Day 2. While Pihela’s son Igor Pihela Jr. was out midway through the final day in 27th place for €940 both Pihela Sr. and his daughter-in-law Evely Pihela both advanced to the final table. Unfortunately, those watching the live stream at OlyBet.tv didn’t get to witness the family dynamic for long as Evely was the first player out on the rail at the final table in ninth place for €2,400.

As a cool turn of events, a blue moon in poker exposed its face with the final table featuring nine players from nine different nationalities. To add to this, none of the nine are from the festival’s home country of Estonia.

Blinds will start at 30,000/60,000 with a 60,000 big blind ante and increase every 30 minutes until a winner is crowned.
