Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition 2026: Grantas Naujokas heads to the Final Table as Chip Leader

The Main Event continued over the weekend at the Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition 2026, presented by OlyBet Poker. In addition, seven more champions were crowned at the Olympic Park Casino at the Hilton Tallinn Park.

A total of 607 entries generated a prize pool of 564,510 euros for the €1,100 Main Event. The field was set to be reduced to nine players on Day 3. Naujokas entered Day 3 as the chip leader with 909,000 chips. In the end, Lithuanian Grantas Naujokas also entered the final day as the leader with 5,215,000 chips. Finland’s Juhani Hassi is in second place with 3,615,000 chips. Five-time WSOP champion Scotty Nguyen, however, missed the final table after being eliminated by Sweden’s Jawad Habib. Nguyen’s tournament ended on Day 3 with aces and a set after the turn. Habib took the initiative on the turn and bet enough chips on the river to force Nguyen all-in. Nguyen called but was unable to beat Habib’s flush.  Iryna Tsikhanskaya, a Lithuanian born in Belarus but living in Vilnius, enters the race as the last remaining woman with 1,355,000 chips. Estonian Kert Soitu suffered one of the most bitter eliminations of the evening against Tsikhanskaya when her ace-nine hand hit yet another nine on the river.
