The penultimate day of The Festival Weekend Vilnius, powered by OlyBet Poker, set the stage for Sunday’s grand finale with both the €555 Main Event PKO and the €350 T.O.R.S.E.S. Mixed Games Main Event playing down to just eight players at Olympic Casino Lietuva.
The local crowd dominated the side events on Saturday, with Lithuanian duo Tomas Možeiko and Valentinas Liuzinas earning trophies on Sunday. Možeiko was the first to ship a title after defeating countrymate Lukas Gudinauskas in the €200 NLH Big Bounty before Liuzinas followed up with a victory of his own in the €150 PLO4/PLO5/PLO6 (Bomb Pot Feature).
Cash games continued while many others enjoyed the cultural aspects of Vilnius, especially with this weekend featuring the popular Vilnius Pink Soup Festival.
Meanwhile, Sweden’s Jens Rössel leads the final eight players from a field of 23 entries in the €350 T.O.R.S.E.S. Mixed Games Main Event, while Lithuania’s Liutauras Armanavičius leads the final eight from a field of 159 entries in the €555 NLH Main Event PKO.

Tomas Možeiko Wins €200 NLH Big Bounty
Our friends at The Hendon Mob will show some funky results for the €200 NLH Big Bounty as €150 of the buy-in went towards bounties. The bounty prizes proved more lucrative than the prize pool, creating a unique format where merely surviving wouldn’t be a profitable strategy.
The final table was an international affair with five countries represented. However, the trophy was guaranteed to stay home after Sweden’s Torgil Hellman hit the rail in third place, leaving Tomas Možeiko and Lukas Gudinauskas heads-up for the title. While the official top payout of €264 may not seem much for a €200 buy-in after Možeiko earned the title, it is more than it seems, as just the final two bounties alone were worth more than the top prize on top of whatever bounties he earned along the way.
The event attracted 69 entries, officially adding €794 to the prize pool. Once again, this pales in comparison to the €10,350 in the bounty pool. Check out the “official reported payouts” below, not including the bounties:
| Place | Player | Country | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Tomas Možeiko | Lithuania | €264 |
| 2 | Lukas Gudinauskas | Lithuania | €160 |
| 3 |  Torgil Hellman | Sweden | €110 |
| 4 |  Hlib Norvilas | Ukraine | €80 |
| 5 |  Ruben Rahumaegi | Estonia | €60 |
| 6 | Aleksej Sorokin | Lithuania | €50 |
| 7 | Mairo Toom | Estonia | €40 |
| 8 |  Sami Korpela | Finland | €30 |
Valentinas Liuzinas Wins €150 PLO4/PLO5/PLO6 (Bomb Pot Feature)
To the delight of many Omaha fans, the €150 PLO4/PLO5/PLO6 (Bomb Pot Feature) was back again on Saturday evening, and once again the format proved popular, where periodically there will be a double-board bomb pot instead of the usual pot-limit Omaha action.
The event attracted 44 entries, awarding €5,434 in prizes, with the podium filled by players from three different countries. The €350 T.O.R.S.E.S. final day chip leader from Sweden’s Jens Rössel took bronze for €870 before Lithuania’s Valentinas Liuzinas and Italian mixed game specialist Carlo Braccini agreed to a heads-up deal whereby both players locked in €1,372 with €300 and the trophy still to play for. Liuzinas got the job done to earn the €1,672 top prize and make it two for two for the home country for trophies on Saturday.
| Place | Player | Country | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Valentinas Liuzinas | Lithuania | €1,672 |
| 2 |  Carlo Braccini | Italy | €1,372 |
| 3 | Jens Rössel | Sweden | €870 |
| 4 |  Alexander Klochkov | Russia | €650 |
| 5 | Ramūnas Danys | Lithuania | €490 |
| 6 | Rolandas Aleksandravičius | Lithuania | €380 |
