Bittersweet goodbyes were shared at Olympic Casino Lietuva as the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Tallinn closed out its final chapter with two notable trophy winners.
Latvia’s Artjoms Hromovs capped off another festival in style, winning the two-day €350 NLH OlyBet Special Final for €5,955 after agreeing to a heads-up deal with Lithuania’s Arūnas Kontautas. The victory adds to his growing résumé, following a trophy win on the final day of the OlyBet Showdown festival in Tallinn this past April.
Meanwhile, Lithuania’s Vytautas Kačerauskas got the monkey off his back, at least according to The Hendon Mob, by securing his first international poker trophy. Kačerauskas claimed the final title after defeating Finland’s Jani Mäkinen in the one-day €250 NLH Wrap-Up PKO for €931 plus bounties.

WSOP Circuit Tallinn Coming Next
The action doesn’t stop in Vilnius. For the fourth consecutive year, WSOP Circuit returns to Tallinn as the 2026 WSOP Circuit Tallinn takes over Estonia’s capital from July 23 to August 2 at the Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel.
The festival features 72 unique events, including 12 prestigious WSOP Circuit Ring Events, with a combined schedule spanning 11 days and set to be one of the highlights of the 2026 poker calendar.
The undisputed star of the show is the €1,500 Main Event with a €1,000,000 guarantee, played over five starting-day flights from July 28 through August 2. Last year, Sweden’s Jenny Westerlund claimed a historic win, eliminating her final two opponents in the same hand for €200,200 and the coveted ring.
