The Festival Tallinn

The attention of the poker community is on the 2022 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, and rightly so, but there is an epic poker and gaming festival that is on European players' doorstep that simply cannot not be missed: The Festival Tallinn at the Olympic Park Casino.

Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk is an intelligent man that loves poker and everything gambling related. Franke looked at other poker festivals and saw something was missing from them all. He realized that not only do many poker players enjoy the odd sports wager or a few spins of the roulette wheel, but the opposite is true; casino players and sports bettors like the occasional hand of poker. Franke decided to pull them all together under one roof, and The Festival was born.

After a hugely successful debut in Bratislava, The Festival heads to Tallinn, Estonia, from June 27 through July 3 and brings with it almost 40 events. While players will find several No-Limit Hold'em tournaments, they will also be able to try their luck in Pot-Limit Omaha, Win the Button, 8-Game Mix, Open Face Chinese Poker, H.O.R.S.E. and the crazy game that is Sviten Special. If you have never played Sviten Special it is a cross between five-card PLO and five-card draw; it is a crazy game that generates a lot of action.

The flagship tournament of The Festival in Tallinn is the Main Event, which comes with a �550 buy-in unless you win your way in via one of the many live or online satellites; more on those soon.

The Main Event at The Festival in Bratislava last September drew in a 621-strong crowd who created a �304,245 prize pool. It ended in a three-way chop between three Austrian grinders. Vedral David finished third for �38,270, Adi Rajkovic was the runner-up and won �45,130, with Martin Mauthner receiving �47,600 and the title of champion. With how live poker is booming right now, it would not be surprising to see an even bigger attendance for the Tallinn Main Event.

As mentioned earlier, Franke created The Festival as a way to bring all forms of gambling and poker under one roof, whch is why anyone heading to Tallinn is spoiled for choice when it comes to events to play.

Cash game players are well-catered for with the Cash Game Festival Challenge, which features televised tables if you fancy some time under the spotlight. Then there are casino game tournaments for blackjack and roulette, which are not only a great way to try and make some money, but the perfect setting for people wanting to try these games for the first time because you can only lose a specific sum of money; although, hopefully, you will win.

There is even a sports betting tournament if you fancy showcasing your wagering skills and sports knowledge.
