The Swedish Invasion

This time they’re here to play poker

Sweden’s tough gambling laws have forced 800 Swedish poker players to play for the title of the Swedish champion in Tallinn during a week-long tournament in April.

The Swedish Poker Federation, which is forced to organize competitions outside Sweden, decided to hold the championships in Tallinn because of ease of travel. The tournament takes place April 9-16 at the Reval Park Hotel casino.
