This does look like a really cool tournament and there should be plenty of interest. I went to Tallinn many years ago and it was one of the most beautiful places i had ever been to

Yes to me it look liek very good series of tournaments and main even too good orize money of 200.000 euros and maybe more. Not millions but good money, also i like that it is close to my country in estonia, not far to go. Many chips to start and apdo unlimited reentry is good structure

Another tournament for the live poker players. One that cant be described as a big one, according to the prize money. But it might built up in the future If it is combined with vacation, it can be even better, it is a nice place to visit, especially in winter

the truth I never went to a tournament like that but I would be covered if someday I was given and so I see those 200.mil auros are not bad at all, although the truth is something far to go and the aconomia here is not very well let's say at the moment haha

Any tourney where a polar bear mascot running around between the tables to greet the actual players is an okay event in my eyes. Buyin is out of my level though so I might never be able to participate on something like this.
This is of course very interesting, but the coolbet does not work for players from Russia // // I don’t know why such discrimination // // This is very sad // // I would try to fight because Tallinn is very close to St. Petersburg // // / it would be interesting to play in this tournament

They only allow playing poker/registering from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Netherlands, Austria, New Zealand, Switzerland and Germany. But I doubt their live events have the same restrictions...

Pajalnick, you can go with your personal money in Estonia, to play a live poker there if you want. I do not think there are any online satellites for that. You will have to pay and then try to win money. You played last night snap to level 30 and i wanted to greet you but i could not because someone gave it all in. Try if you really want it. Good luck

Yeah as I mentioned I fairly doubt they have the same restrictions on their sponsored live events as well - otherwise it would be a highly counteractive promotion.

Wow. Some live poker tournaments is restricted from russians people. Unbelievable. I sit and think... Igor Kurganov has a restriction on that tournament or not because is born in Sankt Petersburg, Rusia. I do not think he has double citizenship. Online is fine, but restriction for live in other countries is something embarrassing. Russia must to change this bad law.

I understand that. There are some restrictions in the online environment, but why is the restriction when the live tournament is in another country. The Russian institute is not happy to receive money when the players earn nice money with these games from other countries?
