Day 3 at the OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition delivered two more trophies at Olympic Voodoo Casino, with Latvia’s Toms Čivčs claiming the day’s biggest prize in the €350 NLH Deepstack Progressive Bounty and Oskars Rolovs taking home the silverware in a three-way deal finish to the €200 PLO4/PLO5. The €555 NLH Championship also got underway with Day 1A, Lithuania’s Tomas Bulkšas bagging the chip lead from nine survivors. The week is building exactly as it should.

Čivčs Wins the Deepstack

The €350 NLH Deepstack Progressive Bounty returned for its final day with seven players in the money and a chip lead held by Dāvis Daugaviņš. It did not stay that way. Toms Čivčs, who had bagged 422,000 chips overnight just behind the leader, ground his way to the front, sent Daugaviņš to the rail in fifth for €1,060, and then dispatched the last two for the trophy. Aleksandrs Krūmiņš finished runner-up for €2,830. Norway’s Steffen Toerrresdal, the only non-Latvian at the final table, finished third for €1,825.

It is not Čivčs’ first time winning hardware at an OlyBet-powered festival. Back in July, he won the €200 NLH Deep Stack side event at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Tallinn, taking €4,544 after a three-way deal at the final table. He knows how to close.

Rolovs Wins the PLO Trophy in a Three-Way Deal

The €200 PLO4/PLO5 drew 61 entries for a €9,852 prize pool and played deep into Monday evening before the final three players agreed to a deal. Latvia’s Oskars Rolovs, Denmark’s Peter Due and Finland’s Joonas Moilanen agreed terms at the final three, with Due earning the largest share of the prize pool at €2,800, Rolovs collecting €2,111, and Moilanen banking €1,720. Rolovs took the trophy.

Vygerdas Jonikas of Lithuania finished fourth for €990, the only Lithuanian in the paid places, while Bulgarian poker veteran Simeon Tsonev min-cashed in eighth. Six of the eight paid finishers were from Latvia or Scandinavia, continuing the regional flavor that has defined the Riga Voodoo field all week.
