Bagočius Leads Nine at OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo €555 NLH Championship

The €555 NLH Championship Final Table is underway at Olympic Voodoo Casino. With 94 entries in the books and a €44,650 prize pool, the field has been trimmed to nine players, and one of them will walk away with €13,115, the largest first-place prize awarded so far at the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition. Mantas Bagočius leads with 725,000, more than the next two stacks combined. Tomas Dalidonis is in immediate danger with just 24,000, barely four big blinds.

The Final Nine

Mantas Bagočius – 725,000: The big stack and the most decorated player in the field. Won the Kings of Vilnius €1,100 Main Event in November 2025 for €58,130 from 327 entries after a marathon 10-hour final day. One of Lithuania’s most prominent online MTT players. Enters the final table with nearly double the second-place stack.

Ģirts Niedrītis – 516,000: The deepest live tournament run of Niedrītis’s recorded career. An OlyBet regular from Latvia, he built his stack late in the day with back-to-back eliminations inside a single level. Everything from here is a new benchmark.

Egidijus Matonis – 380,000: The form player in the field. Led the 2026 WSOP Circuit Tallinn €1,500 Main Event final table chip counts before finishing 5th for €49,300 after four knockouts on Day 3. Active across the Lithuanian circuit throughout 2026.

Dāvis Modāns – 369,000: The most internationally active player at the table. Finished 9th in the 2025 WSOP $5,000 Mystery Bounty PLO for $33,280 and 6th at the Battle of Malta 2025 for €48,450. Won the €250 PLO4/PLO5 Progressive Bounty at the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Riga Spring Edition. Just returned to Riga after making the trip to the Diamond Poker Series in Tallinn last week.

Lasse Melby – 379,000: The only non-Baltic player at the table, based in Nybergsund, Norway. $51,576 in confirmed live earnings, best cash $8,569. A regular on the Baltic festival circuit with a 7th-place finish in the Festival Weekend Tallinn TORSES €555 Mixed Games Main Event in July 2026.

Jari Mahonen – 121,000: Twenty big blinds. The Finnish player reached the final nine despite a short stack that will demand early action. Needs a double quickly to stay relevant.

Jurgis Beinoras – 150,000: Won the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius €1,100 Main Event in May for €24,995 after a deal from 121 entries. Already put a cooler on chip leader Matonis during the final day. With 25 big blinds and a title on the board this year, Beinoras knows how to close.

Ēriks Krūmiņš – 156,000: Two WSOPC gold rings: the 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn €250 NLH Opening Event for €31,620 from 788 entries and the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn €350 Online Ring Event for €11,162. Led the final 10 in the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo AE Main Event before finishing 5th for €9,650. $168,093 in total live earnings. Short but dangerous, the deepest tournament pedigree at this table by some distance.

Tomas Dalidonis – 24,000: Four big blinds. Dalidonis has been a consistent presence at Lithuanian OlyBet events throughout 2026, and his place at this final table reflects that, but the math is about as brutal as it gets. Needs a miracle double on the first hand or close to it.

Payouts

The nine remaining players have all locked up at least €1,360 with their eyes on the trophy and the €13,115 top prize. Latvia’s Patriks Svinka finished 11th for €1,170, and Estonia’s Hendrik Uibo followed him to the rail in 10th for the same amount.
