The €1,100 NLH Main Event proved a record breaker for Latvian poker. Tournament drew 150 entries to create a €142,500 prize pool, the largest OlyBet main‑event prize pool ever held in Latvia. The top 20 finishers were guaranteed €2,030 and only ten players returned for the final day. Defending champion Roberts Krīgers and two‑time WSOP Circuit Tallinn ring‑winner Ēriks Krūmiņš led the field, while short stacks Yaniv Peretz and Gabi Livshitz hoped to spin up their stacks.
The final table produced a mix of Baltic and international contenders. Lithuania’s Arūnas Satkus took a big chip lead into the final heads‑up against Germany’s Konstantin Farber and quickly closed out the match. Satkus captured the title and €33,330, while Farber earned €22,060 for second place. The Latvian contingent celebrated another podium finish as Yaniv Peretz secured third place for €15,950. Pre‑final chip leader Krīgers settled for fourth place, while Krūmiņš finished fifth.
Arūnas Satkus’s triumph not only gave Lithuania its first OlyBet Showdown Riga Main Event champion but also underscored the growing international appeal of Latvian poker. Satkus outlasted local heroes and international professionals alike, and his heads‑up win over Konstantin Farber capped a week of thrilling poker. As the OlyBet Showdown series continues to expand across the Baltic region, the Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition demonstrated that mid‑stakes festivals can deliver big‑money stories and memorable champions.
