Get Ready for The Festival Weekend Tallinn – Sviten Special Edition!
Mark your calendars for July 16–19, 2025, because The Festival Weekend is coming again to Tallinn, Estonia, for an epic poker weekend — Sviten Special Edition at the well-known Chesterfield Poker Club!
Operators: Betsson/Guts/Nordicbet/Betsafe
It does not matter if you have a passion for mixed games or prefer the good old No-Limit Hold'em, this four-day event has something for everyone. With ten different tournaments, including six played in Sviten Special, it’s the perfect chance to dive into a fun and unique poker format. Plus, there are some great prizes, cool trophies, and even packages to The Festival Malta 2025 to be won. You do not want to miss out on this one! Online qualifiers are available already and tonight another chance is scheduled.
What’s Sviten Special?
Sviten Special is a creative poker game that mixes five-card draw and five-card Omaha. Players start with five cards and play the board like in Omaha — but with a twist. After the flop, you can swap your cards just like in a draw game. And here’s the fun part — if you only draw one, the first card you take is shown face-up. Don’t like the one you got? You can throw it away and draw it again, but then face down.
It’s fast, it’s wild, and once you try it, you’ll see why it’s such a hit with players across the Nordics and Baltics.
Venue: Chesterfield Poker Club, Tallinn
Chesterfield Poker Club is a cosy and professional place that the Estonian poker community loves. The vibe is welcoming, the staff really know what they’re doing, and everything is clean and well organised. It’s perfect whether you’re joining for tournament poker or just playing some casual cash games, including mixed games!
You’ll find the club right in downtown Tallinn, just a short walk from the city centre and only 15–20 minutes from the airport. There are plenty of nice hotels nearby too — including the Nordic Forum Hotel that’s right next door, or the Original Sokos Hotel Viru that's right across the street.
Thinking of what to do during the day in Tallinn? The summer time in Tallinn is the coolest period of the year, and let it be coincidence that Franke owns a Padel Centre as well, which is located right next to Chesterfield Poker Club. You can be certain that the bars have been set high during this time in Tallinn, and parties will be a no-brainer.
Weekly €20 Satellite Tournaments – Every Wednesday & Thursday Until July!
Looking to win your way in without spending much? Every Wednesday and Thursday evening, Betsson/Guts/Nordicbet/Betsafe are running a €20 Satellite Tournament, with either a guaranteed €850 package up for grabs, or 2x €250 Sviten High Tickets.
These run weekly until the event kicks off in July, giving you plenty of chances to earn your spot at the tables for a fraction of the price. It doesn't require much thinking to realise these satellites are great +EV spots!
If you live in Estonia, you can also qualify already live at the Chesterfield Poker Club itself, check the full schedule on the main page of The Festival Weekend - Sviten Special.
