PLO Poker Pro Grazvydas Kontautas Challenges Dirk 'Venividi1993' Gerritse To Heads-Up Match

While many choose to air their grievances on Twitter/X these days, the beef in the Two Plus Two forums is still very much alive and well. This past week, two of the biggest PLO online cash pros in the game, Lithuanian Grazvydas Kontautas and Dirk ‘Venividi1993’ Gerritse of the Netherlands, got into a bit of a heated exchange.

It all started back on Oct. 11 in the High Stakes Thread, when Grazvydas dismissed Venividi’s greatest heads-up accomplishment as running up a $1 million stack against Phil Galfond. This all came while he was showing off a pair of impressive graphs highlighting his multi-million dollar PLO profits. While there was no immediate escalation, a match had certainly been lit.

Fast forward to last Friday when a forum member stated how he thought Laszlo ‘omaha4rollz’ Bujtas, Grazvydas, and Venividi were all in the conversation for best six-max PLO player in the world.

Grazvydas wasn’t having any of the comparision, however, and snapped back within five minutes of the post.

“Venividi ain’t no heavyweight,” he said.

On Saturday, he was asked to give his PLO six-max power ratings, to which he listed himself at no. 2 behind ‘omaha4rollz.’ Venividi was listed all the way down at no. 12. He spread the trash talk around with a little added spice, sarcastically asking if he had to make a top-50 list so that Fernando ‘JNandez’ Habegger could be included.

After prodding Venividi a bit more, publicly questioning why he’s returned to poker after 10xing his money for millions of dollars in the crypto market, Grazvydas laid down the gauntlet, properly challenging him to a chess match, a no-limit match, and a power slap match.

But perhaps it was all talk? Early this Tuesday, Finnish PLO superstar Eelis Parssinen came out of nowhere with a screenshot, proving that Grazvydas had rejected an invitation to play a three-or-four-handed match with him and Venividi, even offering him “a few bb/100 handicap.”

This, of course, set the forum on fire.

In response, Grazvydas showed off his own receipts claiming that Parssinen rejected a heads-up challenge where he was offering 3:1 odds. His $600,000 to Parssinen’s $200,000 on 50,000 hands of no-limit. The Finnish pro has yet to respond but we can assure you that this three-way beef is far from over.
