The 2025 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker roared onto its second day on Sunday at Olympic Casino Lietuva. The headline for the first day, Vilnius Zabarauskas Wins First Trophy,” was perhaps more apt than we knew at the time as Zabarauskas is the early player of the festival after winning his second trophy on Sunday in the one-day Event #4: €250 NLH Knockout for €2,353 plus bounties after defeating Ernestas Stalemekas heads-up.
The other two trophies of the day also stayed on home territory with Marek Žigel defeating Michailas Miserkejevas heads-up in the two-day Event #1: €350 Progressive Bounty Warm-Up, while Kęstutis Jungevičius defeated Aivaras Kerušauskas heads-up to earn the trophy in the one-day Event #6: €150 NLH Turbo.
Read on to learn more about what transpired on Day 2 of the 2025 Vilnius Ace Breaker at Olympic Casino Lietuva:
Marek Žigel Wins Biggest Event Thus Far
The opening event in the two-day Event #1: €350 Progressive Bounty Warm-up was the only multi-day affair thus far early at the 2025 Vilnius Ace Breaker. The event attracted 97 entries to create a €30,027 prize pool including €9,700 reserved for progressive bounties.
Marek Žigel led the final 22 players returning to action for the second and final day on Sunday with just have the field in 11 players slated to earn something from the prize pool with progressive bounties already being earned from the opening moments on Day 1.
