Gytis Lazauninkas

Gytis Lazauninkas entered the poker scene with a strong technical foundation built in the competitive European online streets. Residing in Lithuania , he first made a major live splash in 2022 at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, where he finished 4th in a $25K High Roller against a world-class final table. By 2024, he had become a regular fixture at Merit Royal Diamond in Cyprus and WSOP stops. His victory at the 2025 Mediterranean Poker Party, where he defeated a field of 149 elite entries, cemented his reputation as one of Lithuania’s premier high-stakes ambassadors. In 2026, his focus has shifted toward the Triton Poker circuit, where he competes against the absolute pinnacle of poker talent.

Lazauninkas is defined by a fearless and theoretically sound (GTO) play style. He is particularly effective in High Roller formats, where he leverages his deep understanding of post-flop equity and late-stage ICM pressure. Unlike many of his peers, Gytis is known for his ability to maintain high volume across both live and online disciplines, often switching between $25K live buy-ins and major online series like SCOOP and GGMillions. Strategically, he is an expert in Short-Handed (7-Max and 8-Max) No-Limit Hold’em, a skillset that was on full display during his deep runs at Triton Jeju in early 2026. His approach combines surgical precision with the willingness to pull high-stakes bluffs in polarized situations.

As of March 2026, Gytis Lazauninkas’s total live tournament earnings have surpassed $1,540,000, according to The Hendon Mob. His career trajectory reached a new peak in May 2025, when he was crowned champion of the Mediterranean Poker Party (MPP) $10,400 Onyx High Roller for $227,085. Lazauninkas has maintained this elite form into 2026, most notably at Triton One Jeju , where he secured four cashes in high-buy-in events, including a 22nd-place finish in the $5,000 7-Handed event. His rapid ascent and high-volume play at the top stakes place his estimated poker net worth at approximately $2.5 million.
