Looking Back: The Spring Edition
The Spring festival in March showed why the OlyBet Showdown has become one of the Baltics’ most exciting poker brands. Roberts Krigers kept the Main Event title on home soil, conquering a 141-entry field in the €1,100 Main Event to pocket €33,300 and the trophy.
The final table was stacked with talent, including Lithuania’s Martynas Mockevicius (2nd, €21,710), Estonia’s Ott Jaakson (3rd, €15,500), and UK grinder Glen Gaines, who added another deep run to his CV by finishing fourth for €11,580. Michel Leibgorin also featured, having already won the €555 Championship earlier in the series.
The Spring edition delivered packed side events as well, with champions from across Europe, including Enea Subashi, Raivis Pucurs, and Joel Holmberg, all finding the winner’s circle.
