Estonia's capital Tallinn to host World Series of Poker in July

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to return to Northern Europe this July, with Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, as its host. Scheduled from July 19 to 28, the WSOP event marks a collaboration between the OlyBet Group and GGPoker. The Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Hotel will serve as the venue.

Anticipation runs high as thousands of players from around the globe are expected to converge in Tallinn, competing for the coveted WSOP gold ring. The main event guarantees a prize pool of €1 million ($1.07 million).

Beyond the main event, the WSOP festival will feature 12 ‘ring events,’ granting winners not only cash prizes but also guaranteed entry to next year’s tournament and a World Series of Poker gold ring. With over 40 side events and round-the-clock Cash Games, the festival promises "non-stop action" throughout its duration.

OlyBet, a sports betting and gaming brand that is a member of the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), will act as host for the WSOP event.

Tallinn, known for its vibrant atmosphere and historic charm, has previously hosted major poker events, including the 10th edition of the Kings of Tallinn poker festival earlier this year. The city's proven track record sets the stage for an unforgettable WSOP event, solidifying Tallinn's position as the emerging "poker capital of Northern Europe," according to organizers.
