Welcome to the live coverage of the 2024 OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker €1,100 NLH High Roller at Olympic Casino Lietuva.

The opening day of the High Roller attracted 65 entries with just 22 players surviving the 12 blind levels of 40 minutes each.

Latvia's Eriks Krumins was the overnight chip leader after parlaying his 50,000 opening stack into 349,000. He is followed by Kestutis Jungevicius (278,000), Lukas Parednis (246,000), Paulius Kostickis (224,000), and Ignas Jasinevicius (178,000).

The Estonian duo Urmo Velvelt and Steven Tool were both in the mix but failed to advance during the opening flight. Same was the case for Game of Gold's Olga Iermolcheva, Vladas Tamasauskas, Vasilij Barna, Arturas Dauksevic, and many others. These players and others can still hop into the mix with late registration remaining open during the first blind level of Day 2.

Our coverage will begin when cards are in the air to start Day 2 on Saturday at 1 p.m. In the meantime, you can check out the full chip counts by clicking on the "Chip Counts" tab within our coverage. Best of luck to all of the High Rollers on Saturday.
