A river straight settled the title
Naujokas reached the nine-player final table with the largest stack after also leading at the end of Day 2. In the deciding heads-up hand, his king-queen made a straight on the river against Balodis’s ace-six, according to Poker.pro’s tournament report published by OlyBet Events.
The final result completed a marked step up from Naujokas’s earlier Tallinn record. Estonian publication Jokker reported that he finished 64th in the 2023 Summer Showdown Main Event and had won a poker championship in Kaunas in 2021.
Autumn Edition result
The title belongs to the Autumn Edition, which ended on October 18. It is distinct from the Kings of Tallinn festival held earlier in 2026. The reported €104,310 is Naujokas’s tournament payout; the result does not establish his profit after entries and expenses.
