The 2026 WSOP Circuit Tallinn festival runs July 23 to August 2 at Olympic Park Casino. Featuring 75 events and 12 ring tournaments, the series opens with the €350 Mini Main Event alongside a €1,000,000 guaranteed Main Event in Estonia.

The 2026 WSOP Circuit Tallinn officially begins on Thursday, July 23, at the Olympic Park Casino located inside the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel. 

Marking its fourth consecutive year, OlyBet Poker returns to host one of Northern Europe's largest poker festivals in Estonia's capital city. 

Running for 11 consecutive days until August 2, the festival presents a comprehensive lineup of 75 events.

At the heart of the festival is the €1,500 Main Event featuring a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Across the schedule, players can compete in 12 certified WSOP Circuit Ring events. 

In addition to cash prizes and trophies, every ring winner secures a $5,000 package for the WSOP Circuit Championship at WSOP Paradise 2026 in the Bahamas, covering event entry and six nights of accommodation.

Thursday serves as an opening warm-up day featuring satellite tournaments throughout the afternoon and evening alongside the first flight of Ring Event #1: €350 Mini Main Event. 

The Mini Main Event features four opening flights, each playing down to 15 percent of the field. Players are allowed to enter multiple flights, with their largest stack advancing to Day 2 if they bag more than once.

Day 2 takes place on Sunday, leading to the final day on Monday, July 27, where the tournament crowns a winner and awards the first official ring of the series. 

During the previous year's festival, Simon Hesserud Persson claimed the inaugural ring of the event, earning €45,700 for his victory.

Weekend Schedule and Festival Highlights

The opening weekend offers additional high-stakes options alongside the Mini Main Event. Ring Event #2: €555 PLO4/5 runs across the weekend, catering specifically to Omaha players. 

This inclusion reflects the OlyBet philosophy of designing balanced schedules with variety rather than exclusively scheduling No-Limit Hold'em tournaments.

Rounding out the initial slate of ring events is Ring Event #3: €555 No-Limit Hold'em, which also starts over the weekend. All ring events across the series pay out the top 15 percent of their respective fields. 

Beyond the primary ring competitions, the festival provides a wide array of side events awarding trophies, satellite qualifiers, and 24-hour live cash games operating continuously throughout the 11-day series.

With the first official ring awarded in the €350 Mini Main Event on Monday, the opening weekend transforms a modest buy-in tournament into an immediate pathway to the Bahamas.
