Our team at poker.pro is on-site at the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker at the Olympic Casino in Lietuva, covering key hands and the biggest moments from the €555 NLH Championship and the €1,100 NLH Main Event.
Action folded to Matas Kacinskas, who moved all in, having both players in the Blinds covered. Valdemaras Apolianskas made the call for his tournament life from the Small Blind (280,000), and Kacinskas was about to receive some bad news.
Kacinskas was up against the goods, and even though he improved to a pair of jacks on the J♣3♣10♠ flop, the 4♣K♦ runout eventually secured Apolianskas the double-up,
Reigning OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker Main Event champion Rasmus Sihvonen opened to 40,000 from the Lo-jack. Mindaugas Autukevičius made the call from the Button, before Matas Kacinskas made it 150,000 from the Small Blind. Within seconds, Sihvonen announced all in, and he successfully scared his two opponents away.
Good morning, fellow poker players, and welcome to the sixth day of the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker. The action is ramping up each day, and tomorrow will be no exception.
In terms of live coverage, the poker. The pro editorial office will follow the unnerving conclusion of the €555 NLH Championship. Day wrapped up around 20:00 last night, and in just 15 minutes, the remaining eight players will take their seats on the final table, picking up the fight for the €19,795 first-place payout.

Day 1b of the €1,100 Main Event will also kick off at 12:00, simultaneously with the €555 NLH Championship. Yesterday’s inaugural Main Event flight attracted 54 entries, and 19 of them made it through to tomorrow’s Day 2; it’s an educated guess Day 1b will score bigger numbers than yesterday’s flight.
The third starting-day flight of the Main Event, Day 1c, is scheduled to kick off at 19:00. It’s a turbo flight with 25-minute levels, compared to the 40 in Day 1b. In other news, the €200 NLH (16:00) and the €250 NLH Progressive Knockout (21:00) are fulfilling today’s schedule, offering all players some intriguing side action.

This poker.pro live reporter will be back soon, when it’s shuffle up and deal in the €555 NLH Championship.
Day 5 of the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker didn’t disappoint in terms of action. It may have been the fifth day of the festival, but it was the first day of poker.pro being on-site, live reporting from Olympic Casino Lithuania, the undisputed center of poker in Lithuania.
This glorious Wednesday featured four different affairs on the schedule, and as this journalist is writing this short summary, Day 1a of the €1,100 Main Event is still ongoing, as is the case with two other side events. What has been wrapped up for the day, though, is Day 2 of the €555 NLH Championship.
The tournament kicked off at 12:00, and those who had advanced from Day 1a or Day 1b were accompanied by some additional players (late registration was open during the first two levels of Day 2). When Level 15 eventually commenced, and the numbers were finalized, it was confirmed that 179 entries had created a €85,025 prize pool. Twenty players would all be guaranteed a €1,220 min-cash, but everyone had their eyes on the juicy €19,795 first-place payout, as well as the coveted trophy.
Rasmus Sihvonen
With late registration closed, there were still some prominent names left in the field, for example, Vasilij Barna (winner of the €555 Main Event during the 2023 Vilnius Ace Breaker) and Rasmus Sihvonen (winner of the €555 Main Event during the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker). Eventually, Augustas Bareiša became the unfortunate bubble boy, even though being all in pre-flop with pocket nines against the five-four off-suit of Algirdas Saveikis.
It would be a tad ambitious to call it “The Ketchup Effect” once the bubble burst, but some players did, in fact, bust fairly swiftly. Amongst the early victims were Francisco Di Martini, who had started Day 2 as the chip leader. One player who refused to go out, though, was the aforementioned Sihvonen. From being slightly below average during the bigger part of the day, he displayed sublime patience throughout the day, doubling up here and there while his opponents were hitting the rail.
Sihvonen was also involved in the bubble hand; he knocked out Audrius Navickas in ninth place, shortly after Mathies Boesen was out in tenth. Sihvonen has earned him great presumptions for a deep run in the €555 NLH Championship with a top-three stack. That being said, Algirdas Saveikis will begin tomorrow’s final table as the clear chip leader.

The poker.pro editorial office will return tomorrow at noon, following the raffling conclusion. Before then, though, chip counts from Day 1a of the €1,100 Main Event will be published, as well as a recap of everything that went down today at Olympic Casino Lithuania.
That being said, poker lovers, get a good night’s sleep, and we shall see you all tomorrow.
Action folded all the way to Vilius Zabarauskas, who opened to 80,000 from the Small Blind. Mathies Boesen took a gander at his hole cards in the Big Blind before moving all in for 324,000. Zabarauskas made the call.
Vilius Zabarauskas: 4♠4♦ Mathies Boesen: 5♥5♦
“Ah,” Zabarauskas sighed as he saw he was in rough shape. Boesen maintained his lead on the K♠2♦6♥ flop, and nothing changed on the A♣ turn. Brutal for Boesen, though, as the dealer revealed the 4♣ on the river.
As Boesen left the tournament area, there was another all-in and call situation at the other table. It was Audrius Navickas who had moved all in for 221,000 from the Small Blind, and he was snap-called by Rasmus Sihvonen in the Big Blind.
Audrius Navickas: A♥10♠ Rasmus Sihvonen: K♥K♠
Navickas was trailing, and the 9♥6♠2♣ flop didn’t improve his hand. The nail in the coffin came on the turn, when Sihvonen improved to a set thanks to the K♦. The 4♥ river didn’t change anything, and as such, two players went out in the same orbit.
The remaining eight players bagged their chips, and that’s a wrap for Day 2. They will return to the final table tomorrow at 12:00 to pick up the fight for the €19,795 first-place prize and the coveted trophy.
That’s a wrap for the poker.pro live coverage for today, but stay tuned, as a small recap of today’s action soon will follow (including the final table chip counts and all results so far).
Seated in the Cut-off, Rasmus Sihvonen opened to 30,000. When action came around to chip leader Matas Kacinskas in the Small Blind, he put in a big stack of green 25,000 chips, adding up to a 400,000 raise. Soon enough, action was back to Sihvonen, who made the call for his tournament life.
Matas Kacinskas: K♠Q♠ Rasmus Sihvonen: A♣Q♦
Sihvonen was ahead, but it’s an educated guess he wasn’t too comfortable on the J♠8♠7♦ flop. The Poker Gods were looking out for the Finn, though, and as the board completed with J♣8♣, he claimed the pot. “Too many outs,” Sihvonen joked with Kacinskas, who took it all with a smile.
Juris Liepins moved all in for 82,000 from the Hi-jack. Chip leader Algirdas Saveikis re-shoved from the Button, successfully scaring the remaining players away before showdown.
Juris Liepins: Q♣10♥ Algirdas Saveikis: K♦Q♥
“Argh,” Liepins uttered when he saw the nightmare scenario. He didn’t suck out on the 5♠8♦2♠7♠7♣ board, and he was eliminated in twelfth place for €1,650.
UTG, Juris Liepins limped the 15,000. Audrius Navickas made the call from the Small Blind, before Rasmus Sihvonen moved all in for 139,000 from the Big Blind. After receiving the count, Liepins made the call, while Navickas decided to get out of the way.
Rasmus Sihvonen: A♥2♥ Juris Liepins: K♠10♠
Sihvonen was a slight favorite, and he managed to hold as the board spelled out 8♦9♦8♠Q♣3♠. He doubled up through Liepins and is now a force to be reckoned with.
Action folded to the chip leader Algirdas Saveikis, who opened to 24,000 on the Button. Stanislavs Russits (Small Blind) and Mindaugas Autukevičius (Big Blind) both made the call.
First to act on the 5♥8♣9♥ flop, Russits wasted little time before moving all in for 110,000. Autukevičius folded before Saveikis made the call.
Stanislavs Russits: J♠8♠ Algirdas Saveikis: K♥9♣
Saveikis was in the lead, and as Russits’ hand didn’t improve on the 4♥A♥ runout, he was eliminated in fifteenth place for €1,460.
Algirdas Saveikis: 1,200,000 Stanislavs Russits: 0
With former chip leader Francesco De Martini going out in seventeenth place, the €555 NLH Championship is now down to its final two tables. Below are all the results so far.
It’s now the third 15-minute break of the day; the remaining 18 players will soon resume play at Level 21, featuring Blinds 6,000/12,000 and a 12,000 Ante.
Right before the break, one of the biggest pots of the tournament played out on Table 3. Algirdas Šukys attempted to limp from the Small Blind, but Deividas Daubaris wouldn’t allow it. He raised from the Big Blind to 30,000, only to be faced with a three-bet to 75,000 from Šukys. Daubaris made the call, and there was already a big one brewing.
Šukys continued on the aggressive path with a 55,000 continuation bet on the J♠J♦Q♥ flop, and Daubaris made the call. Šukys then check-called a shy 25,000 bet from Daubaris on the 8♣ turn. The dealer turned over the 8♣ river, and after a swift check from Šukys, Daubaris moved all in for 99,000. Šukys sighed heavily before making the call.
Deividas Daubaris: K♣K♦ Algirdas Šukys: Q♦7♣
The Cowboys saw Daubaris taking home the massive pot, soaring to second place in the chip counts.
Perhaps 30 minutes into hand-by-hand play on the bubble, Algirdas Saveikis opened to 23,000 from the Button. The shortest stack in the tournament, Augustas Bareiša, then moved all in for 15,000 from the Small Blind. Mindaugas Autukevičius folded his Big Blind swiftly, and soon enough, the two contestants went to showdown.
Augustas Bareiša: 9♠9♥ Algirdas Saveikis: 5♥4♠
Bareiša was in very good shape to double up his two Big Blind-stack, as the other players gathered around the table to witness the exciting runout. The audience let out a collective “Ooh,” as the dealer revealed the 7♥7♦8♥ flop. They followed it up with a “Whoah,” as the 6♦ fell on the turn. Bareiša was still alive, drawing to a higher straight or a full house, but the 6♠ didn’t see him seal the deal. As such, Bareiša became the unfortunate bubble boy, and the remaining 20 players are now all guaranteed a €1,220 min-cash.
This reporter saw from a distance a big pot brewing over at Table 2. It turned out to be an all-in pre-flop clash between Tomas Možeiko and Audrius Navickas, with Možeiko being the player at risk.
Tomas Možeiko: A♥J♦ Audrius Navickas: Q♣J♣
Možeiko was looking good for a double-up, and the 6♠8♥6♣ board wasn’t too threatening. Poker can be a brutal game at times, though; Navickas improved to a runner-runner flush as the board completed with 7♣3♣, and a disappointed Možeiko went out in twenty-third place.
Seated UTG, Algirdas Saveikis clicked it to 16,000. Rolandas Aglinskas (Big Blind) was the sole caller.
The short-stacked Aglinskas checked the 8♠10♣4♥ flop, and Saveikis then forced his opponent all in for a mere 19,000. After some consideration, Aglinskas decided he didn’t believe Saveikis and made the call.
Algirdas Saveikis: A♦8♥ Rolandas Aglinskas: 3♠3♥
Aglinskas’ gut feeling wasn’t right this time, and he didn’t take over the lead as the board completed with 7♠K♠. Aglinskas bid farewell in twenty-fourth place; he was the first player for quite some time to hit the rail.
Seated in the Hi-jack, Augustas Bareiša min-raised to 12,000. Chip leader Francesco De Martini decided to defend his Big Blind.
De Martini checked the J♥4♣3♥ flop. Bareiša continued for 8,000, and as fast as humanly possible, De Martini put in a raise to 20,000. Bareiša made the call almost as swiftly.
Somewhat anticlimactic when action went check-check on the 5♥ turn. On the J♦ river, De Martini sized up to 30,000, and Bareiša called within two seconds.
Perhaps somewhat to Bareiša’s surprise, De Martini turned over K♥10♥ for a flush, and he took valuable chips out of the Bareiša stack.
Francesco De Martini: 470,000 Augustas Bareiša: 58,000
As the bubble approaches at a rapid pace, all pots are becoming increasingly crucial.
Seated on the Hi-jack, Mathias Boesen opened to 12,000, and Matas Kacinskas decided to call from the Big Blind. First to act, Kacinskas checked the 3♣8♣6♠ flop. Boesen continued for 9,000, only to be faced with a 32,000 raise from Kacinskas. Boesen made the call within 10 seconds.
Kacinskas continued the aggressive path and fired a 40,000 bet on the 2♥ turn. Boesen made the call again, and the dealer revealed the J♠ on the river. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Kacinskas committed roughly three-quarters of his stack to a 115,000 bet. Boesen let his hand go relatively quickly, and Kacinskas looked relieved as he raked in the chips.
As the tournament is approaching the bubble, there are still some great players in the mix. Below are some of the most notable names left in the field.

The players are back after the second 15-minute break of the day. They are resuming play on Level 16 (Blinds 3,000/6,000, Ante 6,000). Below are the current chip counts.
Ignas Navickas min-raised to 8,000 from the Lo-jack. Action folded to Egidijus Matonis, who decided to move all in for 51,500. Action was now on Janis Velkeris, who contemplated his decision from the Big Blind. Eventually, he re-shoved, and Navickas decided to get out of the way.
Egidijus Matonis: 8♥8♣ Janis Velkeris: A♠A♣
Velkeris had picked up the goods and was already way ahead, but, just for good measure, he improved to trips on the A♥6♥9♠ flop. As the board completed with 9♣K♦, Velderis and his Full House sent Egidijus Matonis to the rail.
Tomas Možeiko made it 12,000 from the Cut-off. The only one willing to dance was Janis Velkeris, who made the call from the Big Blind.
Velkeris checked the 9♠K♦5♦ flop, and Možeiko put out a 6,500 continuation bet. Velkeris then moved all in for 22,000, and Možeiko believed he got a good price to make the call.
Janis Velkeris: K♣5♣ Tomas Možeiko: 9♦2♥
A very good spot for Velkeris, and as the board completed with 7♣Q♦, he managed to get a full double-up.
The 2025 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker €555 Main Event winner, Rasmus Sihvonen, has been off to a good start this festival. He won the €250 NLH Opening event for €5,560, and yesterday, he finished second in the €250 NLH for an additional €2,205. Now, he’s one of the 38 players remaining in the €555 NLH Championship.
This poker.pro reporter strolled by Sihvonen’s table when the board read 4♠9♦6♥ with 21,000 in the middle. Small Blind player Jaunius Maževičius checked it to Sihvonen in the Big Blind, and the Finn also knocked on the table. Maževičius checked again on the A♥ turn, and then, he called a 11,000 bet from Sihvonen.
The dealer revealed the Q♠ on the river, and Maževičius completed the check trifecta. Sihvonen then bet 12,000, only to be forced all in from Maževičius for what looked to be roughly 60,000. Without hesitation, Sihvonen made the call.
Jaunius Maževičius: Q♣9♣ Rasmus Sihvonen: A♠Q♥
Two-pair against two-pair was not what Maževičius hoped for. He survived with crumbs as Sihvonen doubled up, earning himself great presumptions for yet another deep run during the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker.
Estonian Mati Pirn opened to 6,500 from the Hi-jack. Egidijus Oleinik (Big Blind) was the sole caller.
Oleinik check-called a 11,000 bet from Pirn on the 8♣2♥9♥ flop. After another check from Oleinik on the 2♦ turn, Pirn moved all in for 22,000. This sent Oleinik to the tank, and he spent a minute there before making the call, having Pirn covered.
Mati Pirn: 10♣10♥ Egidijus Oleinik: 8♦4♦
Oleinik’s gut feeling wasn’t right this time, and he was drawing very slim to eliminate Pirn. The 7♦ didn’t change anything, and Pirn doubled up.

Almost exactly one year ago, during the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker, the Main Event buy-in was €555. Shortly thereafter, the buy-in was increased to €1,100, allowing for the €555 to become a side event. Ever since then, the €555 NLH Championship has been one of the most appreciated OlyBet side events; not only in Vilnius, but in all three Baltic countries.

The players in the €555 NLH Championship are now on the first break of the day. When the 15-minute break is finished, late registration will be closed. The upcoming level is Level 15, featuring Blinds 1,500/3,000 and a 3,000 Ante.
Below is the recently updated list of chip counts.
Big-stacked Vasilij Barna opened to 5,000 UTG. Juris Liepins made the call from the Button, before Herli Olop moved all in for 59,000 from the Small Blind. After receiving the count, Barna made the call before Liepins got out of the way.
Herli Olop: A♠J♠ Vasilij Barna: K♠K♦
Barna was already ahead with his Cowboys, and Olop didn’t manage to catch up as the board spelled out J♣Q♥7♣3♠3♦. As Olop hit the rail, Barna’s stack reached over the 300,000 mark.
Seated UTG, Paulius Kostickis min-raised to 4,000. Audrius Navickas (Small Blind) was the sole caller.
Both players checked the 3♦J♦10♣ flop. Navickas took the aggressive lead on the 8♦ turn with a 4,000 bet, a bet that Kostickis called. Navickas slowed down and checked the K♦ river; after perhaps 30 seconds, Kostickis bet 10,000, and Navickas snap-called.
Paulius Kostickis: 5♠5♣ Audrius Navickas: 2♦2♥
Navickas’ gut feeling was correct, and with his newly won chips, he’s now playing an above-average stack.
Audrius Navickas: 126,000 Paulius Kostickis: 21,000
The first couple of hands in the €555 NLH Championship have been dealt.
There are quite a few prominent players in the field, such as 2025 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker €1,100 Main Event winner Rasmus Sihvonen, and 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn €1,500 Main Event winner Aurimas Stanevičius.
The players who advanced from the various starting-day flights of the €555 NLH Championship are now taking their seats. They are getting accompanied by additional players who take advantage of the 100-minute window that is still open for late registration.
Good morning, fellow poker enthusiasts, and welcome to Day 5 of the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker. While it may be the fifth day of the festival, it’s the first day in terms of live coverage on poker.pro, and it’s a good time to join the party, considering what’s on today’s menu.
Wednesday’s main course will be Day 2 of the €555 NLH Championship. After two starting-day flights, a total of 42 players have advanced to Day 2, which will commence at 12:00 today. The tournament will resume play on Level 13 (Blinds 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 Ante); it’s worth mentioning that late registration will be open during the first two levels of play today.
Waving the Italian flag, Francesco De Martini is the current chip leader, as he bagged 294,500 from Day 1a. It won’t be a walk in the park to claim the title for anyone, though, as there are already many prominent names in the field, such as Rasmus Sihvonen, Johan Karlsson, and Aurimas Stanevičius.

While poker.pro will focus on covering the €555 NLH Championship, there is a lot more going on at the Olympic Casino Lithuania this glorious Wednesday. In fact, the first starting-day flight of the €1,100 Main Event is scheduled to begin at 16:00. This is actually the first time ever that the OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker Main Event features a €1,100 buy-in. During the earlier days of the festival, multiple players have qualified for the Main Event, and action is predicted to be busy in the inaugural flight.
For the players who fancy even more action, there is the €250 PLO4/5 Progressive Bounty kicking off at 18:00 tonight. Few things beat the thrill of live poker bounty tournaments, and you better believe heads will roll with the PLO4/5 format.
Last but not least, there is a €80 Satellite to the Main Event starting at 21:00, with four €1,100 tickets guaranteed. This is a sublime way for all players to secure their participation in the tournament for a cheaper buck.
The poker.pro editorial office is excited to finally be on-site in Vilnius, and the live coverage of the €555 NLH Championship is scheduled to commence at 12:00. See you all then.
