Finnish online qualifier Keimo Suominen has taken the mantle of MPNPT Tallinn Main Event champion from last year’s winner Ranno Sootla, winning €45,200 after a heads-up deal with Davis Modans. They’d outlasted a field of 534; the total prize pool reached €258,990 – well over its €150,000 guarantee.
Sunday's final table was a lesson in table-turning. Unassailable-looking chip leads proved their unreliability in the face of no-limit hold'em's brutal swings, and underdogs rose to claim the lion’s share of the prize money. Just 14 players returned for the final day, with nine final table spots – and one trophy – to play for.
