2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker kicks off with high-stakes poker action
The 2026 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker is now underway at the Olympic Casino in Lietuva. Two major tournaments—the €555 NLH Championship and the €1,100 NLH Main Event—are being closely followed by our reporting team. Both events have kicked off with their first levels under similar blind structures.
The €555 NLH Championship began with Level 1, where players faced a small blind of 100 and a big blind of 100. No ante was required at this stage. As the tournament progressed to Level 2, the same blind amounts remained, but an ante of 100 was introduced.
The €1,100 NLH Main Event followed a nearly identical structure. Its opening level also featured a small blind of 100 and a big blind of 100, with no ante in play. By Level 2, the event mirrored the Championship’s adjustments, adding a 100 ante to the existing blind levels. Both tournaments are now advancing, with players adjusting to the rising stakes as antes come into effect.
The early stages of these events have set a steady pace for competitors. With antes now active in Level 2, the pressure on chip stacks will grow. Our team continues to track the action live from the Olympic Casino in Lietuva.
