Welcome to the coverage of the third of 12 WSOP Circuit Tallinn ring events in Event #3: €555 No-Limit Hold'em.

The event boasts two opening flights on Sunday, Sept. 17 with each flight playing down to just 13 percent of the field. Surviving players will return to battle for one final day until a winner is crowned on Monday, Sept. 18 already in the money.

This event features not only one of the cheapest buy-ins you will find anywhere for a ring event but also a quick structure with players starting with 20,000 in chips and blinds increasing every 20 minutes on both opening flights and Day 2.

Our coverage will fully begin when cards are in the air for Day 2 on Monday at noon. However, we will provide vital stats and chip counts for both of the opening flights before then.

Best of luck to all of the players in their quest to claim a coveted WSOP gold ring in Event #3.
