Raimondas Zilenas Wins €350 NLH Bounty Hunter

Event #9: €350 NLH Bounty Hunter was easily the largest event on Monday, with 96 entries. This created a €29,621 prize pool, including €9,600 in bounties.

It was a “domination nation” situation for the home country, with all 11 players that cashed hailing from Lithuania.

Many big names in Lithuanian poker history were battling it out deep with Modestas Kryzanauskas, Tomas Pinkevicius, poker coach and podcaster Andrius Bielskis, and 2023 Vilnius Ace Breaker Main Event champion and Olympic Spring Cup Vilnius Main Event champion Vasilij Barna all collecting four-figure prizes.

Raimondas Zilenas won the largest prize of the day after he defeated the formidable Audrius Navickas heads-up to earn the €5,321 top prize.

Four-Way Deal in the €150 Pot Limit Omaha Knockout

Event #10: €150 Pot Limit Omaha Knockout boasted 39 entries battling it out with four cards for a share of the €4,945 prize pool, which included €1,950 in bounties.

Lithuanians put on another display with all five players who cashed coming from the home country. The ending was slightly anticlimactic as after Joris Norvaisas hit the rail the final four players in Igor Grimuta, Linas Liugas, Valerij Basarevskij, Vytautas Milbautas, and Joris Norvaisis agree to a four way deal which earned Grimuta the title.
