Kings of Tallinn 2026: Four new Winners crowned – Scotty Nguyen as the Bounty

At the Kings of Tallinn 2026, presented by OlyBet, held at the Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park, the next four winners were crowned yesterday. In addition, the €555 NLH Championship and the €1,100 NLH Mystery Bounty continued. And on Wednesday, the big event finally begins: The €1,100 NLH Main Event, with a guaranteed prize pool of €500,000, kicks off with its first two starting days: Flight 1A at 12 p.m. and Flight 1B at 6 p.m.

€200 NLH DeepStack Celebrity Special

One of the first major highlights of Kings of Tallinn 2026 was the €200 NLH DeepStack Celebrity Special. This was, of course, largely due to the celebrities who had gathered at the tables. At the top of the list was Scotty Nguyen, the 1998 WSOP Main Event champion. But the poker pro didn’t make it very far. The tournament drew 227 entrants and featured a total prize pool of €35,889. Romet Mildov from Estonia secured the victory and prize money of €7,659.
