It was a long day at Olympic Park Casino today. After 13 hours of play, the bubble in the Kings of Tallinn: Autumn Edition €1,100 Main Event had burst, securing the 87 surviving players a share of the €658,940 prize pool. But one man's gain is another man's loss, and this time it was Rolandas Aglinskas who was on the losing side. The Lithuanian player spent 13 hours playing his heart out only to end up in 88th place as the stone bubble after he was a big favorite preflop.
Immediately after Aglinskas' departure, the remaining 87 bagged up for Day 3. Serhii Leonov from Ukraine profited the most from the bubble, being the only player to bag a seven-figure stack. He grabbed the chip lead with 1,052,000, more than four times the average stacks, and a whopping 132 big blinds at the start of Day 3.
Leonov already had a respectable stack throughout the later part of the day, but he really started climbing the ranks when he picked off an overbet bluff by fellow top ten stack Angel Alonso on the soft bubble. He then spent the next 80 minutes exerting bubble pressure to end up with his massive pile of chips.
Meanwhile, Finnish regular Elias Suhonen was the only other player to end up with more than 100 big blinds as he ended the day with 896,000. Greek player Enea Subashi completes the top three with a stack of 712,000 while Luka Sorainen, Estonia's biggest stack Ranno Sootla, and Mitchell Hynam also secured a spot in the top ten.

Day 2 Action
Day 2 started with four levels of late registration still to go. After it had closed, the clock read 701 entries, of which 214 still remained. Quick goodbyes were said to €555 Championship runner-up Rasmus Lundstrom, Norwegian mixed game crusher Espen Sandvik, and Estonian poker mainstays Igor Pihela Sr. and Igor Pihela Jr.
Joshua Stewart, Juha Helppi, Aleksi Naski, and Markku Koplimaa also fell outside the top 100. The pace of play then slowed down significantly as the bubble kept creeping closer. Ermo Kosk was among the chipleaders with 105 left but was eliminated in 92nd about 90 minutes later. Gediminas Zimaitis fell in 90th and hand-for-hand play began shortly after, with two eliminations to go before the money.
It only took around 15 minutes to lose the first player when Ignas Navickas shoved his last chips into Subashi. However, the stone bubble lasted for no less than 45 minutes. In fact, Day 2 was supposed to end after Level 18 had been completed, but the tournament directors decided to play out the bubble, and Level 19 was reached.
Ultimately, it was in that level that Aglinskas became the bubble boy. His king-jack lost against the jack-seven of Samuli Segerman as a wave of relief and celebration went through the tournament room. The 87 remaining players had secured a min-cash of €2,200, but the big stacks will be more concerned with the massive €130,300 reserved for the eventual champion.

The button has been drawn, the players have taken their seats, and the cards are in the air for Day 2 of the Kings of Tallinn: Autumn Edition Main Event.
After four starting flights, 554 entries are on the clock for the €1,100 Kings of Tallinn: Autumn Edition Main Event. The €500,000 guarantee has already been surpassed, but with four more levels of late registration and unlimited re-entries, there is no telling how big the event will actually get.
Every player who registers today will receive 30,000 in chips for 25 big blinds, a far cry away from chipleader's Mikael Koistinen's 253,400. Since the pandemic, Koistinen has been playing live poker only sporadically, but he has returned with a bang, already having won the €350 8-Game earlier this week and now hunting his second trophy. Meanwhile, Dmitri Dudakov is the best Estonian, sitting in second with a stack of 218,700, while Sebastian Wahl and Luka Sorainen also secured a spot in the top ten.
