The biggest WSOP Circuit Tallinn Main Event in history has reached its final table, with nine players remaining in contention for the title, a WSOP Circuit ring and the €210,000 first prize.

A record field of 977 entries took part in the €1,500 Main Event at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park. The turnout generated a prize pool of €1,253,002, comfortably passing the advertised €1 million guarantee

WSOPC Tallinn Main Event Final Table Chip Counts

Lithuania’s Egidijus Matonis will begin the final day with the chip lead after bagging 12,325,000 chips. His stack represents 82 big blinds when play resumes, giving him a relatively comfortable lead over Spain’s David Marfil, who sits second with 10,600,000.

Position	Player	Country	Chips	Big blinds
1	Egidijus Matonis	Lithuania	12,325,000	82
2	David Marfil	Spain	10,600,000	71
3	Julian Selinger	Germany	6,500,000	43
4	Fehim Hajdari	Denmark	6,050,000	40
5	Mateusz Dabkowski	Poland	3,800,000	25
6	Kai Lehto	Finland	3,400,000	23
7	Roy van der Reijnst	Netherlands	2,975,000	20
8	Feras Abid	Finland	1,800,000	12
9	Valentin Imperatore	France	1,400,000	9.5

The final table resumes, August 2 at 12:00 local time, with blinds of 75,000 and 150,000 (150,000 big blind ante).

Quad queens send Matonis to the top

Matonis was responsible for four eliminations during a fast moving Day 3, which began with 24 players and ended with the final nine.

The decisive hand in his rise came against Estonia’s Kristjan Jaan Kosk.
Matonis held pocket queens against Kosk’s pocket kings and appeared to be in serious trouble, but two additional queens arrived on the board to give the Lithuanian four of a kind.

Kosk was eliminated in 18th place, while Matonis used the huge pot as the foundation for his final table chip lead.
He later moved past the ten million mark and finished the day as the only player above Marfil in the counts.

Marfil is the clear nearest challenger and holds more than twice the average stack.
Germany’s Julian Selinger, who began Day 3 as the chip leader, remains firmly involved with 6,500,000.

Denmark’s Fehim Hajdari is close behind Selinger on 6,050,000, while Finnish players Kai Lehto and Feras Abid give the final table a strong Nordic presence.

Lehto is one of the more experienced players remaining. The Finnish regular has previously won a Kings of Tallinn title and enters the final day with 23 big blinds. Abid has less room to manoeuvre with 12 big blinds, but remains ahead of French short stack Valentin Imperatore.

Nine players chasing €210,000

Every finalist has secured at least €15,657, but the largest jumps are waiting near the top of the payout structure.

Place	Prize
1	€210,000
2	€140,500
3	€96,950
4	€68,575
5	€49,300
6	€36,050
7	€26,810
8	€20,300
9	€15,657

Reaching the final three guarantees at least €96,950, while both heads up players will collect a minimum of €140,500. The eventual champion takes home €210,000, the WSOP Circuit Main Event ring and a $5k package to WSOP Paradise in Bahamas later this year.
