Latest Monarch of Tallinn Discusses WSOPC Victory and Preparations for Title Defense
Drea Karlsen Crowned Queen of Tallinn at WSOP Circuit Event
Drea Karlsen, a multi-talented individual with interests in poker, photography, streaming, and authoring, has made history as the first woman in 30 years to make the WSOP Main Event final table. But that's not all; earlier this year, she also triumphed at OlyBet's Showdown series in Vilnius, winning a Queens title at the WSOPC Tallinn.
The event, held at OlyBet's flagship venue in Tallinn, was marked by an electric atmosphere and strong competition. Karlsen entered the final table as chip leader and knocked out six of her eight opponents on her way to the title. For her victory, she claimed €6,480, a €5,000 Ticket to Paradise package to the Bahamas, and the honour of becoming Tallinn's reigning female champion.
The Ticket to Paradise package includes a tournament buy-in and complimentary accommodation for December's WSOP Paradise festival, which will offer a $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty, with a $60 million Super Main Event - the biggest guarantee in live poker history.
Karlsen finds the level of competition at the Queens of Tallinn high and filled with skilled female players. She expresses her excitement about the festival, particularly the city of Tallinn and the hotel accommodations during the event.
The Queens of Tallinn series is in its third year, and it seems women's poker is experiencing a surge in popularity following notable achievements at the WSOP. Shiina Okamoto, for instance, has won back-to-back Ladies Event titles at the WSOP. Esther Taylor also reached the final table of the Poker Players Championship at the WSOP.
Leo Margets, another notable figure, made the WSOP Main Event final table, marking a significant milestone for women in the world of poker.
However, there is no publicly available information from these results that details a WSOP Paradise package awarded to Karlsen with this win. Commonly, WSOP Circuit event winners receive a gold ring and may earn invitations or packages to WSOP tournaments, but there is no direct evidence in these sources that Karlsen received a specific "WSOP Paradise package" as part of her victory. For more specific details on a WSOP Paradise package, it might be helpful to check official WSOP or OlyBet announcements beyond the current sources.
The Queens of Tallinn festival is scheduled to take place at Olympic Park Casino from August 21 to 24. Karlsen plans to defend her crown during this event.
