OlyBet ran its OlyBet Showdown Vilnius – Ace Breaker festival at the Olympic Casino in the heart of the Lithuanian capital in January and February 2024, and it was so well-received that they are returning to the same venue in June for the OlyBet Showdown Vilnius – Jacks of June festivities.
Running from June 1-9, the Jacks of June festival features 31 tournaments and satellites costing between €60 and €1,100. Everything kicks off on June 1 with the €350 Progressive Bounty Warm Up, which comes with €50,000 guaranteed—the perfect way to get the series off to a flying start.
After the Progressive Bounty Warm Up, you'll be able to lock horns with your opponents in a €150 Pot-Limit Omaha 5-Card event, a €250 Sunday Deepstack, a €350 Bounty Hunter, and much more besides.
OlyBet is providing live updates from a €1,100 High Roller scheduled for June 7-8. The €1,100 High Roller at the Ace Breaker festival attracted 78 entrants who were all outlasted by Edgaras Kausinis, who walked away €23,390 richer for a couple of days' work.
The €555 Main Event is the showpiece event on the Jacks of June schedule, not least because OlyBet is guaranteeing at least €150,000 will be awarded by the time the champion receives the winner's trophy. Three starting flights run on June 4-5, with the eventual champion crowned on June 7.
Some 371 players bought into the equivalent tournament during the Ace Breaker series at the start of 2024. Paulius Zilinskas and Titas Gancierius made a deal heads-up before the former emerged victorious and laid claim to €34,805 of the €178,080 prize pool.
