Tony G. Invitational returns to Lithuania

By Sarah Polson

The Tony G. Invitational was on hiatus for year, but it's back and expected to be even better this year as it returns to the Grand Casino World in Lithuania April 5-8.

Tony Guoga's namesake event was put off a year for the complete reconstruction of the Grand Casino World in Vilnius, Lithuania. Now finished, poker players can look forward to a venue that is better than ever.

In 2005, the series drew players from across Europe as well as from the United States, and the final results reflected that international flavor as Lithuanians took two of the events while a Briton and Irishman each won one as well.

This year's tournament will also consist of four events. The schedule is as follows:

• April 5: €150 No-Limit Hold'em unlimited re-buys
• April 6: €500 Pot-Limit Omaha with one re-buy
• April 7: €1,000 No-Limit Hold'em main event
• April 8: €100 Pot-Limit Omaha unlimited re-buys

Each event starts at 6 p.m. and is limited to 60 players. The winner will receive 3% of the prizepool.
