Lithuania may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think about prestigious live poker tournaments, but the country’s capital, Vilnius, was awash with poker talent during the past week, who were all in town for the OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker festival.

The 555 buy-in Main Event was the showpiece of the festival. It saw 371 players buy-in and create a 178,080 prize pool.

Over three days of intense poker action, the 371-strong crowd was whittled to a more manageable 14 players. Paulius Zilinskas found himself in the bottom half of the chip counts at the start of play but was the last man standing after the final hand concluded. Zilinskas has live tournament winnings of $14,895 before this event, with his largest score weighing in at 1,644 ($1,806). Zilinskas now has a 34,805 prize on his resume.
