Actually, fellow Estonian Dennis Grabe is a classy one pocket player, too. If memory serves, he came fourth at the DCC one-pocket event in his only appearance at the Derby.

Mark Mägi from Estonia has taken down Justin Hall, John Morra, and now Roberto Gomez.
What a breakout performance he’s putting together at the 2026 Buffalo’s Pro Classic.
After selling for just $4,500 in the Calcutta, Mark has stormed his way into the final four on the winners’ side and has become one of the biggest stories of the tournament so far.
He’s beating some of the toughest names in One Pocket and proving he belongs with the elite. Nobody saw this run coming… but everybody is paying attention now.

they had a heated rivalry as teammates in the world cup.. i think it was 2018 and the argument continued well after the match, the mics picked it up from the back room in the subsequent match
estonia is like the size and population of new hampshire. but yea, per capita they're doing well, punching over their weight. karl gnadeberg is another good estonian player

Did Fedor buy Lunda in the calcutta?
Yup
incardona in the commbox 
If he has half himself and Lunda has half of himself, as is customary (at least at my level of Calcutta participation) then Fedor is still properly financially incentivized to win.
If not, then, agreed.
he has himself. best outcome is coming 1st with lunda 2nd
jhall hit a brick wall. i guess it's possible to turn 1–4 around but when fedor is playing like this.. pray
