Saturday’s penultimate day of the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn by OlyBet Poker lived up to its billing with three circuit winners crowned at Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park. In addition, the €1,500 Main Event played down to a final table of nine players.
Finland’s Jarkko Suokas will forever be known as the first-ever ring winner in the Sviten Special poker variant after defeating Sweden’s Nicklas Nordblom heads-up to earn the €14,035 top prize.
Later in the day, German flag hunter Fabian Bartuschk had a day to remember after he earned a gold ring and a whopping €61,050, including mystery bounties in the €1,100 Mystery Bounty. Last, but not least, Latvia’s Eriks Krumins, who earned a ring last year in the €250 Mini Main Event in Tallinn, will need to make room on a second finger after shipping the €350 Online Ring Event, exclusively at OlyBet Poker, for €11,162. The online event smashed its €50,000 guarantee with 168 entries, creating a €55,440 prize pool.

Martin Surovec Captains Final Table of WSOP Circuit Tallinn €1,500 Main Event
On Day 3 of the Main Event, 78 runners returned from the original field of 888 entries, and players battled for a share of the OlyBet Poker record prize pool of €1,138,860.
Czech Republic’s Marin Surovec catapulted into the chip lead in a big hand near the end of the day when his cowboys held strong to eliminate two strong opponents in Norway’s Gunnar Wedde (12th – €9,100) with jacks and Ireland’s Andrew King (13th – €9,100) with fours.
Shortly after, Sweden’s Jenny Westerlund, the sole woman at the final table, eliminated Vidar Assersen in 11th place for €11,200 after king-ten got there against ace-jack suited.
The final table bubble broke after the United Kingdom’s Stephen Groom won a flip with big slick against fours to oust China’s Chaofei Wang in 10th place for €11,200.
The action will resume on Sunday at noon, with the stream starting on OlyBet Poker social media channels and on the PokerPro World YouTube channel 30 minutes later, with hole cards exposed. Check out the seat draw below:
