The Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition 2026, hosted by OlyBet, is in full swing, with several notable events already completed and the festival’s marquee tournament now underway.
Scotty Nguyen, the 1998 WSOP Main Event champion, made another appearance in the Estonian capital, a city he has visited frequently in recent years. He entered the €200 NLH DeepStack Celebrity Special to a warm reception but was eliminated early, failing to produce a deep run.
That event was ultimately won by Estonia’s Romet Mildov, who outlasted a 227-entry field to collect €7,659. According to The Hendon Mob, the result represents by far the largest cash of Mildov’s career, with his previous lifetime earnings totaling just $439.
Also featured in the celebrity field was Evely Pihela, a multiple-time Queens of Tallinn final tablist and co-host of the Kings of Tallinn series, who finished 22nd for €450.
Attention has now turned to the €1,100 NLH Main Event, which carries a €500,000 guarantee. The first two starting flights, 1a and 1b, played out on Wednesday, with Days 1c and 1d following on Thursday to complete the starting flights before the field is combined.
Strong participation has been bolstered by online satellites on OlyBet and live qualifiers at Olympic Casino. Surviving players will advance to Friday’s Day 2, when the money bubble is expected to burst, with the festival building toward its scheduled conclusion on Sunday.
