GGMillion$ on GGPoker: Format and Participants GGMillion$ is a regular tournament with a $10,000 buy-in held on the GGPoker platform and is considered one of the most prestigious high-stakes online events. The latest edition saw 200 players compete for a $2,000,000 prize pool.

Hannes Jeschka, who had previously won this tournament and reached the final table twice, once again proved his skill. His path to victory was not easy—at the final table, he faced renowned opponents such as Juan Dominguez, Viacheslav Buldygin, Mikita Badziakouski, and others. Special attention was drawn to Juan Dominguez—one of the most consistent GGMillion$ participants, who has played nearly 250 of these tournaments, cashed 76 times, reached the final table 37 times, and won four titles. This time, Dominguez had to settle for second place. Final Table Chip Counts of the $10,000 GGMillion$ Before the start of the final table, the players’ chip stacks were distributed as follows (countries as listed in the GGPoker lobby): Hannes Jeschka — chip leader Juan Dominguez Viacheslav Balaev Anatoliy Zlotnikov Mikita Badziakouski Viacheslav Buldygin Marco Perez Paulius Vaitiekunas Andrii Derzhypilskyi The shortest stack at the final table belonged to Andrii Derzhypilskyi, and he was the first to be eliminated from the tournament. Key Hands and Final Table Timeline 9th place — Andrii Derzhypilskyi Derzhypilskyi started the final table with the smallest stack. In one of the first hands, he went all-in for 20 big blinds with ace-king against Anatoliy Zlotnikov’s pocket kings. The kings held, and Derzhypilskyi was the first to bust. 8th place — Paulius Vaitiekunas Vaitiekunas lost most of his stack playing ace-jack against Viacheslav Buldygin’s tens—losing without seeing a flop. With his remaining 6.5 big blinds, he shoved with ace-nine but lost to Mikita Badziakouski’s ace-queen. 7th place — Marco Perez Argentinian Marco Perez couldn’t find a spot to double up for a long time, and his stack dwindled to less than three big blinds. He went all-in with jack-ten, Hannes Jeschka made an isolating re-raise with ace-king, and a king hit the flop, giving Jeschka the winning hand. 6th place — Viacheslav Buldygin Buldygin earned the tournament’s first six-figure payout. He three-bet all-in from the big blind for 15 big blinds with suited jack-ten after a min-raise from Jeschka on the button. Jeschka called with suited ace-queen. An ace came on the flop, and Buldygin finished in sixth place. 5th place — Mikita Badziakouski Badziakouski was eliminated after a showdown against Dominguez. Dominguez shoved from the button with ace-seven, and Badziakouski called from the big blind with ace-three, holding just six big blinds. Dominguez’s seven played as a kicker, and Badziakouski exited the tournament. 4th place — Anatoliy Zlotnikov Anatoliy Zlotnikov finished in fourth place. He picked up pocket kings and opened with a min-raise from early position, after which Dominguez shoved all-in from the big blind with ace-four of hearts. Zlotnikov called for 15 big blinds. His kings were ahead until the river, but a deuce on the river completed a straight for Dominguez. 3rd place — Viacheslav Balaev The tournament went heads-up after Viacheslav Balaev was eliminated. He called all-in for his last 10 big blinds with king-eight against Jeschka’s small blind shove with nine-five of hearts. The board brought a nine and a five, giving Jeschka two pair, while Balaev needed a queen for a straight but didn’t get there. Heads-Up: Hannes Jeschka vs. Juan Dominguez At the start of heads-up play, Jeschka had more than a two-to-one chip lead. The decisive duel lasted less than ten hands. In the final hand, Dominguez three-bet preflop, and on a queen-eight-three flop with two spades, he made a continuation bet for one-third of the pot. Jeschka responded with a raise, and Dominguez called. The turn was a nine, and both players checked. The river brought a fourth spade. Dominguez, holding ace-seven with the ace of spades, made an overbet all-in for nearly twice the pot. Jeschka thought for about 30 seconds and called with queen-ten, holding the ten of spades. This hand secured him the title and the top prize. $10,000 GGMillion$ Final Table Results In addition to the cash prize, the winner received a $10,000 package for the live GGMillion$ tournament at WSOP Paradise 2025. 1st place — Hannes Jeschka : $406,521 + $10,000 WSOP Paradise GGMillion$ 2025 package 2nd place — Juan Dominguez : $318,747 3rd place — Viacheslav Balaev : $250,088 4th place — Anatoliy Zlotnikov : $196,218 5th place — Mikita Badziakouski : $153,997 6th place — Viacheslav Buldygin : $120,895 7th place — Marco Perez : $94,911 8th place — Paulius Vaitiekunas : $74,484 9th place — Andrii Derzhypilskyi : $58,417 Statistics and Achievements of the Finalists With this victory, Hannes Jeschka became a two-time GGMillion$ champion.
