PokerNews predicted back in late June that the Kings of Tallinn Summer Showdown would be massive, and that prediction looks set to become true judging by the superb turn out for the opening events of the series.
The €150 NLHE Kings of Tallinn Summer Warm Up kicked things off, and it drew in a field of 225 entrants, who were al outlasted by local hero Markku Koplimaa. The Estonian star has more than $16 million in live and online poker tournament earnings, and he added another €6,450 to that impressive figure after bulldozing his way through the field.
