In Tallinn, Estonia, some of the biggest names on the poker scene were attracted by Bombay High Stakes Week, which took place at the new Bombay Club. Buy-ins for the tournaments ranged from €5,000 to €50,000.
We saw names like Teun Mulder, Tom Vogelsang, Martin Kabrhel, András Németh, Joni Jouhkimainen, Eelis Parssinen, Aleksejs Ponakovs, Armin Rezaei, Niklas Astedt and Fedor Holz in action.
The first tournament of the entire schedule was the €5,000 buy-in Warm Up Turbo, which brought 38 entries and a prizepool of €180,500. The most recognizable name at the final table was Czech player Martin Kabrhel, who was kept company by his compatriot Zdenek Zizka. He finished in 5th place with a prize of €16,250.
