There was a ton of action yesterday at the 2026 Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel & Olympic Park Casino. The €250 NLH Kings of Tallinn Mini-Main Event title went to a player from Greece. Three other winners were also crowned on Sunday. And in the €350 Kings of Tallinn Cup, two preliminary rounds were played.
The €250 NLH Kings of Tallinn Mini-Main Event attracted 555 entrants and generated a prize pool of €113,553. A total of 71 places were set to finish in the money. In the end, Emmanouil Chalkiotis of Greece secured the victory for €19,875 after a heads-up deal with Simo Saarniit of Estonia, leaving €3,650 on the table. Simo Saarniit received €16,618 for second place, while Estonian Ranel Käsi finished third and won €10,160. Danish player Casper Stelzner Jensen placed fourth and received €7,480.
Chalkiotis had traveled to the OlyBet Team Challenge alone but then formed the team “The Greek is +EV” with Jyri Merivirta, Juha Helppi, and Mikael Haapaniemi. Chalkiotis has been on a real roll this year and last year. He won the Mystery Siege of Malta 2025, finished second in the Novibet Poker Championship Main Event in January 2026, and achieved five top-3 finishes within a week at the APT Jeju Classic earlier this year.
