Final Table Payouts for $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers 1st place — $2,228,762 + $30,000 Super Pass + WSOP gold bracelet 2nd place — $1,671,270 3rd place — $1,253,757 4th place — $1,002,175 5th place — $801,326 6th place — $640,898 7th place — $512,641 8th place — $410,188 9th place — $278,847 Finalists: Chip Leaders, Stars, and Contenders The final table has brought together players with global reputations and impressive achievements. Here’s how the finalists’ stacks are distributed (number of big blinds in parentheses): Roeland Peeks (Austria/Netherlands) — 172 BB Sergio Aido (Spain) — 73 BB Matheus Machado (Brazil) — 37 BB Niklas Astedt (Sweden) — 37 BB Ole Schemion (Germany) — 32 BB Christopher Nguyen — 28 BB Johannes Straver — 24 BB Oshri Lahmani (Israel) — 19 BB Alessandro De Michele (Italy/Slovenia) — 19 BB Each of these players has already secured at least $278,847, but the battle for the top prize and the bracelet is just beginning. Brief Profiles of the Finalists Roeland Peeks — representing the Netherlands and residing in Austria, enters the final table with a massive chip lead: 172 big blinds, almost twice as many as his closest competitor. Such a stack gives him a serious advantage in applying pressure to his opponents. Sergio Aido — a Spanish professional who has already won two WSOP bracelets. If he manages to surpass Peeks and win the tournament, he will become a three-time gold bracelet winner. Matheus Machado — a Brazilian player in third place by chip count (37 BB). In 2024, he won a bracelet at WSOP Paradise, taking down the GGMasters Online Championship and earning $441,452. Niklas Astedt — a Swede known as one of the most successful online players, but who has yet to win a WSOP bracelet. The reason is his rare appearances at live series due to high taxes for Swedish players abroad. This final table is one of his best chances to add a trophy to his collection. Ole Schemion — a German professional who already has two WSOP bracelets: the first won in 2021 in the $1,979 No Limit Hold'em Poker Hall of Fame Bounty, and the second in the €5,300 PLO European Championship at WSOP Europe this year. Christopher Nguyen — a high roller who has won over $11.7 million since 2024. In April 2026, he became the champion of the WSOPE €20,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super High Roller, earning €1,100,000 and a WSOP bracelet. Johannes Straver — a player who made a splash at WCOOP 2026 on PokerStars, continues his successful run at GGPoker, entering the final table seventh in chips (24 BB). Oshri Lahmani — an Israeli player, less known to the general public, but already with major results: in 2024, he finished fifth in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship at the WSOP in Las Vegas ($315,098), and in August 2026, he took third in the $10,400 Onyx High Roller series event in Cyprus ($375,000). Alessandro De Michele — an experienced Italian residing in Slovenia, with live tournament results dating back to 2007. His biggest prize is €25,850 for seventh place in the €350 No-Limit Hold'em at WSOP Europe 2023. Now he is one step away from his first bracelet tournament victory. Tournament Format and Final Table Features The final table starts on September 29 at 7:00 PM British Summer Time (BST) and will continue until a champion is determined. The winner will receive not only $2,228,762, but also a $30,000 Super Pass to the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event 2026, as well as a WSOP gold bracelet — one of the most prestigious trophies in poker. The tournament format is No Limit Hold'em with a $10,000 buy-in. Each player starts with a set stack of chips, and the blinds (mandatory bets) increase as the levels progress. The number of “big blinds” (BB) is a key indicator for assessing a player’s stack size relative to the current bets. A large stack allows for more pressure on opponents, while a short stack requires a more cautious strategy. The final table is broadcast on the official GGPoker YouTube channel with players’ hole cards shown and a one-hour delay. At the commentary desk are Jeff Gross and special guest, the legendary Alex Foxen. Notable Participants and Eliminated Stars Many well-known professionals made it into the money, but not all managed to reach the final table. Among those eliminated before the final are Wiktor Malinowski , Jamie Dwan , Kelvin Kerber , Daniel Negreanu , Adrian Mateos , Sorel Mizzi , Lex Veldhuis , Artur Martirosian . It was especially disappointing for Zhengxiang Chen , who fell just short of the final table, finishing as the “bubble boy.” The presence of such big names in the money highlights the high level of competition and prestige of the tournament.
