Final Table Action

Players were battling it out on the money bubble which doubled as the final table bubble. Tomas Bassus appeared to be one of the players who would safely skate to the final table with a healthy stack, but he doubled the eventual runner-up Deividas Daubaris twice on the bubble before Daubaris sent Bassus packing on the money bubble.

Edgaras Kausinis began the final table with the chip lead. Zapolskas was out before the first cards were even dealt, but shortly after that Kausinis padded his chip lead when his ace-king was good against ace-ten to send Lukas Parednis to the rail in eighth place for €3,130.

Shortly after, it was de ja vu, but with two different players involved. Ignas Jasinevicius ran his ace-ten into the big slick of Elvinas Vitkevicius to exit in seventh place for €3,970.

Kausinis was busy building his stack while it took a little time for the next player to head to the cashier. Eventually, Kausinis delivered a bad beat to Laurynas Cerniauskas when his ace-seven got there against ace-eight suited to eliminate his opponent in sixth place for €4,860.

Players began to feel the ICM pressure even more with Kausinis seemingly opening hands at will to have two-thirds of the chips in play. Even more chips went into Kausinis's stack when his ace-jack held against king-jack to eliminate Elvinas Vitkevicius in fifth place for €6,030.

A full blind level passed without a showdown or even a river. Eventually, the dam broke after a scheduled break when Kausinis was with 63 big blinds and no other player had more than eight big blinds.

It wasn't all smooth sailing at first for Kausinis as he doubled the shortest of his three opponents in Daubaris two separate times. To make things work, Krumins chipped up as well after eliminating Vitkevicius in fourth place for €7,640 with ace-ten against queen-trey.

However, lady luck was back with Kausinis still after as he jammed a river with the second nut flush holding king-nine suited and had a huge chip lead after Krumins headed home in third place for €9,540 with a slightly inferior flush with queen-six suited.

The heads-up battle didn't last long and very soon after Kausinis was crowned the champion after his king-ten held against ace-ten to leave Daubaris one player short of the title. Daubaris, however, should be thrilled about laddering up a couple of spots due to the dynamics of the final table and sleep well after banking the €14,980 runner-up prize.

Congrats again to Edgaras Kausinis for being part of setting a new Lithuanian record, winning the coveted trophy, and a boat load of cash.
