The 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition came to an action-packed finale, as players bid their farewells while the last warriors left in the field clashed for the remaining two trophies at Olympic Casino Voodoo in the vibrant heart of Riga.
Despite the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition €1,100 Main Event concluding on Saturday, Sunday provided players with one final chance at Riga glory.
Lithuania’s Artūras Tiščenka was easily the star of the final day after winning the two-day Event #25: €350 NLH OlyBOOST Mystery Bounty for €15,070. He scooped up the top prize of €3,970 after ousting Latvia’s Rūdolfs Vosvenieks heads-up, along with a whopping €11,100 in bounties.
The final trophy of the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition remained home after Latvia’s Mark Baidjuks won the one-day Event #31: €250 NLH Deepstack for €2,572 as part of a three-way deal with fellow Latvians Igors Sevastjanovs (second – €2,418) and Artjoms Sutjagins (third – €2,092).

Artūras Tiščenka Wins €350 NLH OlyBOOST Mystery Bounty
The €350 NLH OlyBOOST Mystery Bounty provided tons of excitement on the final day. The original 103-entry strong field was down to just 13 players by the time the second and final day rolled around on Sunday, with players now already in the money with a chance at winning big by eliminating opponents and pulling the optimal mystery prize envelope.
Lithuania’s Artūras Tiščenka absolutely destroyed this event with big bounty after big bounty to earn a total haul of €15,070, including €11,100 in bounties. To put Tiščenka’s epic victory into perspective, the Lithuanian managed to win a shade less than half of the €30,334 of the available prizes, which includes €14,884 in the prize pool and €15,450 in bounties.
Although the hometown crew did miss out on the largest prizes, there was still an impressive showing from the Latvian poker community. Rūdolfs Vosvenieks was unable to collect any bounties, but finished runner-up for €2,744 while witnessing Tiščenka and others thin out the field and collect bounties.
Latvia’s Kārlis Pops collected €2,100 in bounties to go with his third-place podium finish for a total of €3,980, for a better result than runner-up Vosvenieks. Meanwhile, Kaspars Mallons also earned more than Vosvneieks, thanks to collecting €1,600 in bounties for a total of €2,970.

Mark Baidjuks Leads Latvian Destruction in the €250 NLH Deepstack
The final event of the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition, the €250 NLH Deepstack, attracted 48 entries to create a €10,332 prize pool.
This author stood out at the final table as everyone but Jason Glatzer, who resides in Lithuania, called Latvia their home in the final eight players after Finland’s Ilari Seinela hit the rail.
The event was originally scheduled to pay out the top six places with a €700 min-cash. However, as it was the final event, a bubble deal was proposed and quickly agreed upon where the top six players would deduct €50 each off their cash to payout the bubble at least €300.
Latvia’s Jānis Strautmalis benefited the most from the bubble deal as he soon after exited in seventh place for €300 before Glatzer ran out of gas in sixth place for €650.
The deal-making wasn’t quite done yet. The final three players looked at numbers before agreeing on a second deal after Mārtiņš Priede (fourth – €1,150) and Dmitrijs Petrenko (fifth – €850) collected their payout slips.
Mark Baidjuks earned the final trophy along with the €2,572 top prize, with Igors Sevastjanovs earning the runner-up prize of €2,418 and Artjoms Sutjagins banking €2,092 for third place.
