The Queens of Tallinn festival returns to Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel from August 27-30, offering four days of women-only poker action. Created by OlyBet Poker as the first festival of its kind in the Baltic region, the event has steadily expanded since launching in 2023.
This year’s schedule includes a larger €555 Main Event, more than ten side events, a dedicated PokerNews-branded tournament, and round-the-clock cash games throughout the festival.
The 2025 edition set a festival record with 96 Main Event entries, producing a €27,677 prize pool. Lithuania’s Giedre Valgemäe won the title, taking home €5,690 after a four-way deal at the final table. Entries have climbed steadily since the festival’s debut, from 65 in 2023 to 85 in 2024.
The 2026 Main Event kicks off Friday, August 28, with nine levels played on Day 1. Action resumes Saturday, narrowing the field to a final nine, before the livestreamed final table concludes the festival on Sunday, August 30. With the buy-in raised from €350 to €555, this marks the largest Main Event in the series’ history. Players can also qualify through online satellites via OlyBet Poker’s Queens Centrolls.
Another highlight is the €200 PokerNews Queens Crown Deepstack on Saturday, August 29, featuring 30,000 starting chips and 20-minute levels. Introduced last year, it quickly became a fan favorite.
The festival also features a unique three-player Team Challenge, where teams earn points through event participation and cashes, reinforcing the event’s community-driven spirit.
