OlyBet Showdown Riga 2026: Full Schedule & Main Event

Autumn poker is heading back to Latvia, with the OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn 2026 taking over the Olympic Voodoo Casino from September 19-27.

Nine days of tournament action are on the cards, with more than 25 events covering No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. Olybet Poker has ensured something for most bankrolls, ranging from low-cost satellites through to the festival’s €555 NLH Championship and €1,100 Main Event.

There will also be 24/7 cash games running alongside the tournament schedule, giving players plenty of options away from the festival tables.

€1,100 Main Event Headlines Showdown Riga

The biggest tournament on the schedule is the €1,100 NLH Main Event, which gets underway on Wednesday, September 23.

Three starting flights are available, with Day 1A beginning at 4 p.m. on September 23 before Day 1B follows at the same time the following day. The final opportunity to enter comes with Day 1C on Friday, September 25.

Survivors return for Day 2 at 2 p.m. on Saturday before the remaining field plays down to a champion on Sunday, September 27.

Players looking to qualify for less will have several opportunities to do so. Satellites run throughout the week, including €80 qualifiers guaranteeing as many as five €1,100 Main Event seats.

Championship, Mystery Bounty and Mini Main Event on Tap

The Main Event isn’t the only big tournament to look out for in Riga. The €555 NLH Championship begins with its first starting flight on Monday, September 21, followed by Day 1B on Tuesday. Those who make it through return for the final day on Wednesday.

Bounty fans are particularly well catered for. The schedule includes the €350 NLH DeepStack Progressive Bounty, a €350 NLH Mystery Bounty, and several €250 Progressive Bounty tournaments across both NLH and PLO.

The €350 Mystery Bounty begins on September 25, with the mystery envelopes introduced when the tournament reaches its final day on September 26.

There’s also the €200 Mini Main Event, offering three starting flights from September 20-25 before its final day on September 26.

Omaha players haven’t been forgotten either, with a selection of PLO4/PLO5 tournaments dotted throughout the nine-day schedule.

Queens Progressive Bounty Returns

The ladies at the festival also have their own event to hop into. Saturday, September 26 features the €150 Queens Progressive Bounty, a women-only NLH tournament beginning at 4 p.m.

A €10 satellite takes place earlier that afternoon, with three €150 seats guaranteed, providing another inexpensive route into one of the festival’s standout side events.

Players don’t even have to be inside Olympic Voodoo Casino to get involved that evening. The €150 OlyBet Showdown Riga Online Progressive Bounty begins at 9 p.m. and comes with a €5,000 guarantee.
