Vilde Ekren Wins €350 NLH Queens Ring Event

Norway has become the country to beat in the €350 NLH Queens at WSOP Circuit Tallinn. Drea Karlsen won the title here last year, launching what would become the Pocket Queens Podcast alongside Lina Olofsson. On Tuesday, her compatriot Vilde Ekren claimed the ring, making it back-to-back Norwegian winners of the Ladies’ Main Event. Karlsen herself was in the field, finishing 12th and sweating for a shot at the repeat until the money ran out.

The event attracted 86 entries for a €25,327 prize pool with 13 players returning in the money for the second and final day. Excitement continued to build as the final table was reached before Ekren and her friends celebrated after she defeated her countrymate Linn Saeteroey heads-up to take the €7,182 top prize and the Bahamas package that comes with every ring win at this series. Switzerland’s Celine Zimmermann finished third for €3,076 in what was a strong final table for Nordic and Baltic players.

Check out how the Queens Ring action went down by the eyes of poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlen, who was on the scene with the key updates of the final day.

The €200 WSOPC Tallinn Special Surprise Bounty was the event of the day and arguably the event of the festival so far. The concept is built around mystery bounty envelopes placed on the heads of celebrities and local personalities from Finland and Estonia, giving every player a reason to be at the table beyond the standard prize pool. Playesr agreed with 407 entries getting into the action, creating a €65,730 prize pool and generating the kind of noise and atmosphere that are special for side events.

Estonia’s Tarvi Apsolon, who had already run deep in the Mini Main Event earlier in the series, was part of a three-way deal at the end before emerging with the trophy and €10,510. Norway’s Espen Ringstad took €8,530 in second and Sweden’s Dan Wald earned €9,950 for third in the deal.
