Once again, Tallinn is set to become the poker capital of Europe for female poker players. In partnership with Olybet, the Olympic Park Casino Tallinn is hosting “Queens of Tallinn” from August 27 to 30—a festival exclusively for women.
The festival was founded in 
, 2023, and was met with widespread acclaim right from its debut. In 2024, the program was expanded, and by 2025, female players from all over the world were already coming to compete for the title. Lithuanian player Giedre Valgemäe walked away with just under €5,690 in prize money after a deal.
In 2026, the organizers are stepping it up again with a diverse lineup featuring twelve tournaments spread over four days of play. Anca Eggenberger, who secured the first European Ladies bracelet at the WSOP Europe this spring, will be competing at the Queens of Tallinn for the first time.
The Main Event has a slightly higher buy-in than in recent years, but at €555, it’s still affordable. It kicks off on Friday, August 28, followed by Day 2 on Saturday, with the final taking place on Sunday. In addition to the Main Event, there will be satellites and several side events.
