Karlsson & Parmasto Eye Historic Double in Kings of Tallinn Main Event

Karl Karlsson and Priit Parmasto, former Kings of Tallinn Main Event champions in 2020 and 2023 respectively, progressed to Day 2 of the 2025 edition, putting them in contention to become the first-ever two-time winners of the prestigious tournament.

With three of five starting flights completed, the current field stands at 433 entries, producing 158 survivors for Day 2. The remaining two flights on February 27 and the opportunity for late registration on Day 2 could further boost the turnout, potentially setting a new record.

Finn Veikka Keto-Tokoi bagged the overall chip lead on Day 1b with 300,000 chips after qualifying among the 80 players from a 215-entry field. Ukraine’s Konstantyn Holskyi finished second (221,500), while OlyBet qualifier Enea Subashi was the best of the online qualifiers in third (205,000).

Parmasto secured a modest 48,600 stack, but former champion Karlsson fared better, ending Day 1c with 76,600 chips for a top 10 finish. Estonia’s Dmitri Zatsik led that flight after amassing 211,400.

In the undefined5,000 High Roller, Lithuanian Kestutis Jungevicius defeated Matiss Celmins heads-up to capture the undefined90,380 top prize and his biggest live cash. The event attracted a record 58 entries for a undefined264,480 prize pool.

Two other winners were crowned on February 26 – Juho Suutari took down the undefined200 NL Hold’em PKO for undefined4,650, while Elias Suhonen won undefined3,317 in the undefined200 PL 2-7 Triple Draw.
