Visockis has been playing poker for five years, almost exclusively in online MTTs. Although he was Day 3 overnight chip leader, he had a rocky Day 4 and was very short-stacked until he happily managed two double-ups in a row. He said: “It doesn’t matter how it ends now, I’m really happy. I don’t play many live events and this is my first EPT. I decided to buy in because I wanted to see how good I am.”
Online, Visockis has already notched up nearly $600,000 in online winnings on PokerStars, including $184,476 for a runner-up finish in the Sunday Million just before Christmas. Visockis is a regular in local tournaments in Lithuania and well-respected in the country’s thriving poker community.
