Event Displaying Fresh Aspects in OlyBet Showdown Happens in Vilnius (May 17-25)
Get ready, poker fans! OlyBet is bringing back the thrill with the OlyBet Showdown Vilnius, happening at the famous Olympic Casino Lietuva from May 18-25, 2025. Fresh off the success of the OlyBet Showdown Voodoo Riga Spring Edition, this action-packed festival in the Lithuanian capital promises an exhilarating 30-tournament schedule, including main events like the €1,100 Main Event, €2,200 High Roller, and €555 Championship Event.
If you're a poker aficionado, you'll remember OlyBet's previous extravaganza in Vilnius earlier this year, the Ace Breaker series. But this next bonanza is gearing up to rival the Kings of Vilnius event from November last year, with higher buy-ins and premium tournament offerings.
Event Highlights
The event starts with the No-Limit Hold'em Championship, running from May 19-22. With last year's Kings of Vilnius festival attracting 297 players and generating a prize pool of €142,560, organizers expect hundreds of entrants for this event. Scott Hall, an American player, emerged victorious in that event, pocketing €26,725 after making a deal with runner-up Edvinas Grimalis (€21,565).
The High Roller event follows on May 20, a one-day affair with a slightly increased buy-in compared to last year's competition. Expect top-tier talent from across Europe as this event grows in reputation. In 2023, Lithuania's Robertas Sakinis triumphed over 58 competitors toclaim a €36,190 payday in the High Roller event at Kings of Vilnius.
The Main Event, the crown jewel, takes place from May 21-24. Last year's edition drew 365 entrants and generated a €350,400 prize pool. Aurimas Stanevicius claimed victory after a heads-up deal with Paulius Kostickis, earning €61,455, while Kostickis settled for €53,275. With such exciting results in past events, anticipation for this year's Main Event is through the roof.
