The “Poker School” and “Olympic Casino” organized “knock-out” tournament festival attracts the majority of Lithuanian poker enthusiasts and professionals.
The fourth tournament of the series, “Win The Button,” proved this. It received 54 entries, of which 16 were re-entries.
The first player left the tournament in the first level, and by the second break, 32 players remained. Liutauras Armanavičius re-entered the most times – he did it 3 times.
There were no particularly impressive hands, and players often split the pot after an “all-in” play.
The final table formed when “PokerioMokykla.com” founder Zigmas “Brilijant” Pekarskas, holding 99, made four of a kind and eliminated Darius Kružikas. This was Zigmas' 6th knock-out (each worth 35 EUR).
With one table remaining, the blinds were 1500 / 3000 / 400. The average chip count was 90 thousand. At that time, the leader was Z.Pekarskas with 207 thousand. The player with the fewest chips was Tomas Bassus – 23 thousand.
As usual, calmness settled at the final table, and no one was eliminated for a while. Marat Kasajev did not make it to the money zone, having gone all-in pre-flop against Algirdas Liutkevičius. Marat's A6 lost to Algirdas' AQ. The latter made two pairs and increased his stack by 45 thousand. The blinds at that time were 4 and 8 thousand chips.
In the next deal, Vygerdas Jonikas was eliminated, losing his 15 thousand.
After some time, with three players remaining, the blinds were 8/16 thousand, and Z.Pekarskas was first with 320 thousand. However, he was eliminated from the tournament, and the heads-up match was between Denis Boltunov and Paulius Jucys. Both had equal chips – about 400 thousand and played for about two hours. The blinds reached 10/20 thousand, and the game ended after all chips were in, with Paulius' AK losing to Denis' AQ when a Q appeared on the board.
The tournament winner D. Boltunov eliminated 4 opponents during the game, P. Jucys – 5, and Z.Pekarskas – 6.
