The final event of WSOPC Tallinn has concluded, and it was Albert Gorelik who claimed the victory in Event #12: €660 No-Limit Hold'em Progressive Bounty. The American defeated Latvia's Jevgenijs Zotovs heads-up after a final table that lasted well into the later hours of the night. Both players received €7,900 as the cash prize, but it was Gorelik who had the bigger haul of bounties, totaling thousands of euros more.

This win marks Gorelik's fourth first place in a WSOPC Ring Event, and his third ring in just two months. Time will only tell if his hot run will continue onwards, but it will not be at WSOPC Tallinn as the festivities have now come to an end.

We hope you enjoyed all of the action live on the blogs and hopefully until the next poker festival.

Meanwhile, Jevgenijs Zotovs took home €7,900 for his efforts, as well as plenty of bounties gathered throughout the long tournament day.

After a lot of folds, Jevgenijs Zotovs finally found a hand to jam on his button, and he did so for 516,000 chips. Albert Gorelik thought it over for a small while but eventually called the bet.

Jevgenijs Zotovs:
Albert Gorelik:

Mihails Morozovs:
Albert Gorelik:

Bad timing for Morozovs, who ran into Gorelik's Big Slick. The board did not help him out either, as Gorelik was the only one to make a pair on the runout.

Morozovs said his goodbyes and left to collect his fifth-place winnings.

Albert Gorelik raised his button to 80,000 chips and Jani Haarala went all-in from the big blind for the mere 180,000 chips he still had in his possession. Gorelik complied with the extra chips and the cards were revealed.

Albert Gorelik:

Teemu Toikkanen:
Max Sanders:

Toikkanen left the tournament in seventh place and said his goodbyes in amicable spirits.

The players are sent on a 15-minute break.

Albert Gorelik raised to 60,000 from early position and the action folded to Nikolay Ponomarev in the big blind, who defended with a small stack.

The flop came down and Gorelik continued to bet another 35,000 after a check from Ponomarev. Ponomarev then jammed his 170,000 remaining chips in the middle and received an instant call from the American.

Nikolay Ponomarev:
Albert Gorelik:

Gorelik was in the lead with his rockets, and he won the pot when Ponomarev did not improve with the turn or river. Ponomarev left the table in eight place and play continues seven-handed.

Joona Ranta-Nilkku went all-in from early position with 35,000 chips and Jevgenijs Zotovs three-bet to 175,000 from middle position. Albert Gorelik then put in the four-bet to 300,000 from the hijack, and folded everyone out, including Zotovs.

The flop gave Ojaveer a much-needed pair, the turn was and the river came which meant Ojaveer won the hand and the €450 bounty. He got €225 in cash and increased the bounty on his head.

After that, he mentioned that he is free-rolling the tournament and already €675 cashed in bounties and has almost a €1,000 bounty on his head.

Level 7: 500/1,000 (1,000)
Entries: 75/114

Yanis Mehdi Sahli raised from the cutoff to 2,200 followed by a call from Jani Kalervo and Stein Naerland. 

The flop came and Kalervo and Naerland checked, Sahli bet 3,100 and got a call from Kalervo followed by a 21,000 all-in from Naerland. The French folded and Kalervo ended up calling.

Jani Kalervo:
Stein Naerland: 

Naerland already had a made flush and Kalervo needed help from the lady in black. The turn was and the binked on the river for Kalervo to complete his flush as well.

Kalervo took Naerland's bounty and a good 50,000 pot.

Level 6: 400/800 (800)
Entries: 75/105

The €660 NLH Mystery Bounty Winner and WSOP Online Bracelet winner Ranno Sootla limped from the hijack and the player behind Khalid Dghaim raised to 50,000. 

"Do you have a pair?" Sootla asked.

"Maybe," responded Dghaim while smiling.

Shortly after, Sootla called off his stack of 20,600.

Khalid Dghaim:
Ranno Sootla:

Both faced the flop with a smile on their face and the dealer turned on the board, which was good so far for the bracelet winner.

The turn didn't help Dgaim, nor the brick on the river ending up in a good double up for the Estonian (pictured below).

On Friday, Event #10: €350 NLH OlyBet Online Event was held here in WSOPC Tallinn but this time it wasn't at the Olympic Casino. It was actually online at OlyBet making it possible for players not to be able to attend this fantastic festival to compete and lay their hand on one of these beauties. 

The €50,000 Guaranteed Online Event kicked off at 8 p.m. Friday night and attracted 124 entrants with 20 players cashing in this event. Up to this date, this is the single biggest prize in the OlyBet-exclusive tournament. 

One hour into the tournament Toomas "Stablecoinflip" Orm decided to join the action and registered and this would turn out to be a very good decision as he ended up winning the whole thing. We got a chance to sit down and have a little chat with our latest Ring Event winner as he came into the Hilton Park and Olympic Casino to take his winning shot. 

Great Start of Turning Pro - Again

Toomas Orm used to play professionally up until ten years ago but after a few hard years, he decided to stop and took a job as a salesman. It wasn't until the end of last year as he had a good run he decided it was time to give it another shot going pro again.

"I have two daughters and that makes you think differently at these things but as this year started I had built my bankroll up and felt comfortable to do this as a profession again," Orm explained. 

This was the second €350 buy-in ring event he played during the WSOPC Tallinn as he also entered another event live here at the Olympic Casino. Even though Orm mostly plays no-limit hold'em tournaments online, he has $12,745 in live tournament winnings according to The Hendon Mob and one of his biggest tournament cash wasn't in a hold'em but instead in a pot-limit Omaha event in Malta earlier this year. 

"I never play PLO but it was the very last day and I was bored so I took a shot in the very last tournament they had," Orm shared. "That was a Pot Limit Omaha and that was the first time I ever played it. When we were at the final table I started to feel a bit stressed though since it was really late and I had a flight to catch at seven in the morning." 

Orm thought he'd have to book another flight back home to Estonian but eventually, they decided to make an ICM chop of the remaining prize money with five players left giving him the most money for €1,800, and as soon as he cashed out he ran off to the hotel, picked up his bag and took a cab to the airport where he came to the gate three minutes before the boarding closed. 

But it's safe to say that playing on home soil is where he has his best track record with two big live cashes here from February earlier this year in the Main Event of the Estonian Championship finishing fifth for €3,600 and being runner up in the same championship in a Shootout tournament for another €2,278.     

Five Bet Jam on Kosk Took Orm to the Lead

Back to the Online Ring Event the other night he started rocky and thought his days were counted but after first a double up and then a triple up he described the rest of the tournament as very smooth sailing. As he ended up at the table with his fellow Estonian countryman Ermo Kosk the latter tried to push him around but after a hand where Orm five-bet jammed against Kosk with only queen-jack suited and got away with it, he knew this was his tournament. 

"I had some really nice rivers," shared Orm. "I was such an underdog and didn't even look at the screen as the board ran out several times but each time I looked up and magically survived. I screamed so many times so I was really happy my family wasn't home." 

Loves to play Small Ball Poker

When half the field remained in the tournament Orm amassed a massive lead and as they entered the final table he still had a huge advantage. When the action whittled down to the last five players he had half the chips in play and then he was certain he would take it down as the others only had around ten big blinds each. 

But when they started playing heads-up he was actually for the first time giving up his lead a few times but managed to get back up on the horse and when they were even in chips the two players decided to make a deal where they secured €9K each, left the ring and the WSOP Freeroll in Vegas up for grabs. 

Even though the deal was made the Heads-up would last for an hour.

"I love playing small ball poker and that's exactly what we did," Orm shared.

At three o'clock in the morning his experience and his strategy with the small balling paid off as he was crowned as the winner. 

It's safe to say that Orm has had a very nice return to the poker scene since he decided to take it up and make it a living again and now he has a trip to Vegas to look forward to next summer. 

€350 WSOP Circuit Tallinn Online Ring Event top four: 

Level 5: 300/600 (600)
Entries: 76/100

Maksim Solodilov jammed it all in from the button for 14,500 and Yevhen Roshchebak called from the small blind.

Maksim Solodilov:
Yevhen Roshchebak:

The Estonian needed an ace or a seven against the pair of threes that Roshchebak had. He managed to hit on the flop and now the Ukrainian was the one behind.

No luck for Roshchebak on the turn and river, he couldn't take the bounty and is left with only 3,000 chips. 

A few hands after the Ukrainen was knocked out.

The tournament has reached a hundred entries so far at the beginning of level 5. After this level, there are five more levels of late registration open. The average stack is 39,000 and the prize pool is up to €57,000.

The biggest stack is Einar Hersdal from Denmark with around 100,000 chips, he has claimed three bounties of €150 each adding up to €750 bounty on his own head. If someone knocks him out he will get €375 in cash and €375 added to their head.

Players will return shortly from their first 20-minute break. Check out some of the bigger stacks down below.

Level 4: 200/500 (500)
Entries: 69/86

We had six players called the 1,100 raise from Rasmus Lundstrom, one of them being Kasparas Klezys who just lost his stack to Martin Sedlak's flush and had exactly 1,100 left.

The flop was checked around by 3 players and action was on Dominik Ostrowski who quickly bet 7,000, everyone folded and Ostrowski was heads-up for Klezys's bounty.

Dominik Ostrowski:
Kasparas Klezys:

Klezys looked amazed at how he was still ahead with so many players in the pot against Ostrowski's open-ended straight draw.

The turn came which paired the board. Klezys said "Please no eight" and the dealer put the on the river.

"Well, it wasn't an eight," Ostrowski said with a smile on his face while collecting his second bounty for €150.

Level 3: 200/400 (400)
Entries: 66/79

Kelly Kellner, Raivo Pinsel (pictured below), and Andree Tiri were all involved after the first three cards were dealt , Kellner made a small bet, followed by a raise from Pinsel and an all-in from Tiri for 26,700 chips which Kellner folded to and Pinsel snap-called.

Raivo Pinsel:
Andree Tiri:

Pinsel had a two-pair, while Tiri had the nut flush draw, he didn't manage to hit it on the turn but got additional out for a straight.

The river wasn't what Pinsel wanted to see as the dealer began to count the chips. No bounty for Tiri since he didn't cover Pinsel.

Level 2: 100/300 (300)
Entries: 60/63

Yanis Mehdi Sahli opened the pot and Andrey Koks was left with only 2,600 chips which he shoved all in followed by a call from Sebastian Wahl and the original raiser.

Sahli bet 2,000 on the flop and his opponent folded, the remaining two players went to a showdown.

Yanis Mehdi Sahli:
Andrey Koks:  

Koks was ahead and needed to hold it to the river. The turn looked promising, but the river completed Sahli's straight and he got one of the first bounties in the tournament.
