Lithuania’s Grantas Naujokas finished Day 2 of the Kings of Tallinn Autumn Edition 2026 Main Event with 909,000 chips. He led 64 survivors at Olympic Park Casino, ahead of Ville-Tapio Mesiranta on 820,000 and David Santalla Marfil on 745,000.
The €1,100 tournament drew 607 entries, pushing its prize pool to €564,510 above a €500,000 guarantee. The payout schedule reserved €104,310 for the eventual champion, with 79 places paid.
Scotty Nguyen survived a crucial bubble confrontation after calling Julius Kettunen’s shove with ace-nine. He doubled up and eventually bagged 138,000, while Tommi Lankinen’s elimination brought the remaining field into the money.
Former champions Johan Karlsson and Johan Creutz also advanced. Both remained in contention to become the first two-time Kings of Tallinn Main Event winner as play headed toward the October 17 penultimate session.
