Aldas Gomas

Aldas Gomas is a Lithuanian professional poker player and entrepreneur from Klaipėda. With over 16 years of business experience as the owner of UAB Chinapart Europe, he also maintained a long‑term professional poker career on PokerStars from 2010 to 2023. He is known for his steady tournament performances on the live circuit, particularly in the Merit Poker series and the World Series of Poker.

Gomas began playing poker professionally in 2010 under the PokerStars banner, where he played as a specialist for two years before returning for another long stint from 2013 to 2023. During this period he built a reputation as a consistent online grinder. His first notable live result came at the 2015 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, where he advanced to Day 2 of the record‑breaking $565 buy‑in "The Colossus" event, which attracted over 20,000 entrants. Gomas finished the day with 17,400 chips (nearly 15 big blinds).

2023 Merit Poker "Retro Poker Cup" — Cyprus

Gomas had a strong showing at the 2023 Retro Poker Cup at Merit Casino in Northern Cyprus. He cashed in several side events:

• $550 Deepstack (Event #8): 5th place for $2,830.
• $330 Mixed NLH/PLO: Finished 8th, earning the painful title of "bubble boy" — he was the last eliminated before the money, losing with 7♣7♦ to A♠Q♣ when the board ran out eights and tens.
• $800 Warm Up (Day 1B): He survived to Day 2 with 36,800 chips, one of five Lithuanians in the field.

2015 WSOP "The Colossus"

At the 2015 WSOP, Gomas navigated the massive field of over 20,000 players to reach Day 2 with 17,400 chips. Although he did not ultimately cash, it remains one of his most publicized deep runs.

Based on available hand histories, Gomas plays a solid, aggressive style. In the Retro Poker Cup bubble hand, he committed with a middle pocket pair, a typical tournament tactic, but was eliminated by a chop on the board. He is described by Lithuanian poker media as a consistent participant who rarely shies away from confrontations when ahead.

Outside of poker, Gomas runs UAB Chinapart Europe, a company involved in PVC and aluminium window profiles based in Klaipėda. He is active on LinkedIn, engaging with content about business, learning, and the Lithuanian market. His dual career as a business owner and professional player demonstrates his ability to balance risk‑taking with strategic management.

While Gomas has not yet won a major live title, he is a respected figure in the Lithuanian poker community. His longevity as a PokerStars pro and consistent live cashes in international events mark him as a dedicated professional who represents the growing poker scene in Lithuania.
