Few faces in European poker command as much warmth and respect as Teddy Bremseth, the driving force behind poker.pro and a fixture at many of the continent’s marquee events. This October, from the 23rd to the 28th, Tallinn’s iconic Bombay Club will throw open its velvet doors to host Teddy’s milestone 50th birthday — transforming an elite poker haunt into a week-long festival celebrating both legendary personalities and the vibrant spirit of the game.
Poker’s Heartbeat in Tallinn
Bremseth’s five-decade journey is best marked by what’s planned: true festival energy and a welcoming, joyful atmosphere. Bombay Club’s famed opulence and meticulous hospitality are the backdrop for a gathering where cash games, nightly tournaments, and social revelry merge. Across the club’s grand rooms and relaxed setting, stakes range from €5/€10 at Bombay, with nosebleed action promised, to more accessible games perfect for everyone from seasoned grinders to first timers with low stakes offered at the nearby Chesterfield Club.
Festive Flips and Big Prizes
The schedule boasts the innovative €550 “Flip for Your Seat in the Money,” running October 23-26. The event boasts on-demand flips, guaranteeing that each winner starts the final day already in the prize pool. High rollers can look forward to semi-hyper turbos across Hold’em, PLO5, Pineapple, and more, with buy-ins soaring to €2,650. Meanwhile, Chesterfield’s €250 Mystery Bounty event (Oct 24-25) puts €25,000 guaranteed up for grabs, featuring secret cash prizes of €5,000, €3,000, and €2,000, plus a coveted The Festival Series package to Banco Casino Bratislava.
Stars, Showdowns, and Surprises
If top-tier action isn’t enough, a headline record-breaking heads-up match is set between Finland’s Ossi “Monarch” Ketola and Norway’s Kayhan Mokri, adding heavyweight excitement to an already star-studded week. With word of high-profile players and entrepreneurs flying in via private jet, the event promises to be the hub of European poker powerbrokers, with both legendary names and new faces ready to toast Teddy and battle on the felt.
More Than Poker: A Community Celebration
The party will go far beyond the cards. Bombay’s luxury setting, fine dining, live jazz, and top-class digital payments blend to offer visitors an experience worthy of the occasion.
