1,033 entries were at the start, €1,000,000 was played out from the guarantee in the prize pool with a small overlay.
The later winner Penttinen steadily increased his stack on the final day and went to the final table as the chip leader. He continued his dominance there and practically never gave up the lead – only for a few minutes in heads-up did he briefly lose the chip lead.
After a deal among the top 3 players, Penttinen was guaranteed €113,820, Barasofsky €112,775, and Gary Fisher €97,000. The three then continued to play for the remaining €35,955 and the trophy.

Fisher went out of the tournament in 3rd place. In heads-up, Penttinen and Barasofsky met. In the end, a bottom pair of threes and a miss-call from Barasofsky turned the match in Penttinen’s favor, who shortly thereafter closed the deal.
Veli-Pekka Penttinen secured the title of the 2026 Kings of Tallinn Main Event Champion and took home €149,775 and the trophy.
