Day 4 at the OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition brought another trophy to Olympic Voodoo Casino, as Finland’s Joni Nenonen claimed the €250 NLH Progressive Bounty with a top-two Finnish finish.
The €555 NLH Championship wrapped up Day 1B, sending 22 more survivors to Wednesday’s Final Day, where Tomas Bulkšas still holds the overall chip lead and Gatis Reigass bags the Day 1B chip lead, with his sights set on another big multi-day finish this festival.
Richard Hayes will be live at the tables from Noon on Wednesday at poker.pro to cover the €555 Championship until a winner is crowned, and the €1,100 Main Event fires its first flight this evening to add even more excitement to the day with cash games running 24/7 at a variety of stakes.

Nenonen Wins the €250 NLH Progressive Bounty
The €250 NLH Progressive Bounty drew 51 entries, with €5,559 in the regular prize pool and €5,100 in bounties, for a total of €10,659 in prizes. As is standard at OlyBet progressive bounty events, the top two players earn the same prize from the prize pool before the winner collects the accumulated final bounty at the end.
Finland’s Joni Nenonen and fellow Finn Jesse Vanska both locked up €1,469 apiece, then Nenonen took the big bounty and the trophy. A Finnish finish at the top of a field otherwise dominated by Latvians.
Toms Čivčs, who won the €350 NLH Deepstack Progressive Bounty on Monday, followed up with a min-cash in sixth for €400. Two cashes in two days for the Latvian, who continues his strong run at the Autumn Edition.
€250 buy-in | 51 entries | €5,559 prize pool + €5,100 progressive bounties
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1st |  Joni Nenonen | €1,469 |
| 2nd | Jesse Vanska | €1,469 |
| 3rd |  Aleksandrs Horjonoks | €990 |
| 4th |  Simon Bringaud | €700 |
| 5th | Romāns Krasins | €530 |

Bulkšas Leads Combined €555 Championship Field Into Wednesday’s Final Day
Day 1B of the €555 NLH Championship drew 42 entries, with 13 survivors joining the nine from Day 1A to bring the combined field to 75 and the prize pool to €35,625. Late registration remains open until 13:40 on Wednesday’s Final Day at Noon. Lithuania’s Tomas Bulkšas still holds the overall chip lead with 225,000 chips.
However, the top of the leaderboard is full of other big names in the Baltic poker scene. Local hero Gatis Reigass, who bagged 212,000 as the Day 1B chip leader, comes back Wednesday looking for another multi-day title at this festival after his €250 NLH Opening Event victory on Sunday.
Ēriks Krūmiņš sits third at 141,500. The Latvian is no stranger to going deep at OlyBet events in Riga. He led the final 10 in the 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition Main Event before a dramatic final table exit. He also holds two WSOP Circuit Tallinn gold rings, winning the 2024 WSOP Circuit Tallinn €250 NLH Opening Event for €31,620 and the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn €350 Online Ring Event for €11,162. He knows how to close at OlyBet festivals, and 141,500 chips coming back on Wednesday is a dangerous stack.
Sixth place belongs to Dāvis Modāns at 123,000, a name familiar to OlyBet regulars who won the PLO Progressive Bounty at the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Spring Edition. He returns to the scene of that win, having just returned from the Diamond Poker Series at OlyBet’s flagship home, Olympic Park Casino in Tallinn.
The poker.pro Team, headlined by Richard Hayes, will live-report Final Day from noon on the 2026 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition live reporting page at poker.pro, where you can also find the intro and the start-of-day seat draw.
