Traveling Through Time in Tallinn with 888Live Poker Series (Photos)

888poker likes to take its players to places they might never travel to otherwise.

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, the Northernmost of the three Baltic countries. It has a population of 450,000; equivalent to a third of the whole country’s population.

During the 888Live event “Travel through Time” the players went on a trip to the Old Town and the Bay of Tallinn.

Helsinki is only 80 km to the North if you take the ferry – or 800 km if you take the car all around the Gulf of Finland.
