“There was an extremely positive atmosphere at the festival, the players and organizers supported each other, and the communication between them was extremely warm,” said poker player Pihela, who came eighth in the main tournament. This was also confirmed by Marta Porter, winner of the most important tournament of the festival, who said that she appreciated every minute spent at the table and promised, if possible, to return next year.
In addition to the cash prize, the winner of the main tournament was awarded with a gold-plated necklace, and the best of the regular tournaments with a silver necklace, made especially for this event.

More than 150 players from 15 countries took part in the four-day Queens of Tallinn poker festival, more than 100 of them were women. Christer Larsson, head of poker at the Olympic Casino and the OlyBet Group, thanked all the participants and promised that the Queens of Tallinn will also be held in the coming years.
“With the first poker festival for women, we want to give women more opportunities to test themselves against other players in a competitive situation and to establish contacts with other players at other levels. We are very happy with the positive feedback received from many players,” Larsson said.
