GGMillion$ Won by Benjamin Rolle as Hero Call Takes It Down – March 6, 2025

This week’s GGPoker GGMillion$ was won by German online poker boss Benjamin Rolle as he conquered a stubborn defense by Pedro Neves in the final duel and won the $310,746 top prize. A thrilling final table with nine great players took place on Tuesday night as stars of the online felt, such as Duco Haven, Alexander Tkatschew, and Vlad Darie, gathered to play for over $1.2 million in final table payouts. 

Zobian on Call

This week’s special guest to join regular host Jeff Gross was Aram Zobian. The American, who has won almost $6 million in live earnings, plenty of it for his PokerStake investors, has vast experience online and was a co-commentator throughout, bringing the action to life in spectacular fashion. 

Heading into the final table, the last nine of the event were led by Benjamin Rolle. The German player, who has had the lead once in the past few weeks, began on 68 big blinds. He was a little clear of the Portuguese player Pedro Neves (61BB) in second. Behind the top two, Finnish player Casimir Seire (53BB), Dutch regular Duco Haven (46BB), and another seemingly perennial final table performer, the German pro Alexander Tkatschew (40BB), were all close and vying for the best spot in the chasing pack.

Austrian player ‘Golden Seagull’ flew close with 33 big blinds, with Romanian powerhouse Vlad Darie on the same amount, while a second Austrian in Josef Schusteritsch (30BB) and the Ukrainian online boss Andrii Derzhypilsyi (12BB) also in hot pursuit of the leaders. 

The first player to lose their seat, which took almost an hour, was the Ukrainian Derzhypilsyi, who took home $42,996 in ninth place. Although he did start off decently and worked up to 6th in chips, he never really managed to get going. Derzhypilsyi found himself very short after calling off just over 10 big blinds pre-flop with ace-jack of spade only to run into the ace-king of Josef Schusteritsch, who he had marginally more chips than. The Austrian doubled through his opponent, who was left with approximately 20% of a big blind which was lost in the next hand, his king-seven offsuit falling to Casimir Seire’s suited queen-seven that flopped a flush.

Three-Way Pot Changes Everything

The next out was Daire, who started in a position to challenge for the GGMillion$ title before plummeting and being knocked out in eighth place for $55,055. Shoving pre-flop from the big blind with king-three offsuit, Darie was snapped off by Duco Haven in the small blind with pocket sevens. A board of 9-7-4-Q-J more than did the job for the Dutchman. 

German player Alexander Tkatschew exited next, leaving in seventh place for $70,497. All-in pre-flop with king-ten of clubs, he’d run into not one but two monsters. Schusteritsch had pocket aces in the next seat, and Seire woke up with pocket queens a little further around the table. All three players committed their stacks preflop. The flop came down J-T-4 to keep Schusteritsch in the lead. A king on the turn changed all that, putting Tkatschew within one card of a treble up, with Seire now holding an open-ended straight draw to victory. Tkatschew had the best chance of winning the 4.1 million pot in the middle of the virtual felt, which was known as GGPoker’s automatic odds calculator, which re-figured the odds at the end of each street. The German was a 66% favorite, but it was the 19% shot Schusteritsch who won the pot as a second jack on the river counterfeited the German and decimated Seire’s stack in the process.

Play continued after that seismic hand sent shockwaves around the table. Duco Haven continued to grow his stack throughout the while, and he even managed to shove his way to a pre-flop steal of Ben Rolle’s blind with ace-ten folding to Haven’s pocket sixes. It was another 30 minutes before ‘Golden Seagull’ was all-in pre-flop with ace-ten. He, unfortunately, ran into Schusteritsch’s ace-queen which managed to pair up to take out the Austrian for a score of $90,270.

A Hero Call Ends the Event

The very next hand, with just five players left, Pedro Neves took a huge chunk of Schusteritsch’s chips with pocket jacks ruling over queen-nine. The Austrian was suddenly struggling but was not as short as Casimir Seire. Chips went back and forth for 30 more minutes before Siere committed his stack pre-flop with jacks and was ahead of Rolle’s ace-ten. Schusteritsch had folded ace-nine and regretted it when a board of A-8-4-9-3 played out, giving Rolle a two-outer pair of aces to take out Seire for $115,589. 

Rolle had more than 62% of the chips with that pot as he piled up 9.4 million as compared to the three short stacks: Haven (2.1m), Schusteritsch (1.9m), and Neves (1.5m). There was a quick bust-out in fourth place, as Schusteritsch was all-in 3 hands later with ace-jack only to run into the ace-queen of the chip leader Rolle. A board of 5-3-2-T-T sent the Austrian home with $148,009 in fourth place.

Three-handed play lasted just 6 hands as Neves’ ace-nine did battle with Haven’s pocket eights with all the money in pre-flop. A board of A-K-7-7-T paired up the Portuguese player, and he went into heads-up at Haven’s expense. The Dutchman left for a cash of $189,522 in third place. 

It had been a rollercoaster final table, but both the final two came into play in the order they began heads-up, with Rolle (9.9m) having an almost 2:1 lead over Neves’ stack of 5.1 million chips. Trip sixes for Neves against Rolle’s pocket kings elicited a full double-up, flipping the power almost as soon as the final duel had begun. Both men held the lead at multiple points, and when the last chips went into the middle, things were very close, as a board of Q-T-5-9-T saw Neves bluff-shove with seven-eight offsuit with three clubs on board. Rolle had a very difficult call with queen-jack offsuit and no clubs in his hand, but the German made the call eventually and, in doing so, became this week’s GGMillion$ champion. A brilliant comeback highlighted his run to secure his second GGMillion$ title on GGPoker.

GGMillion$ Won by First Time Winner as Astedt Outlasted for $291,000 – March 12, 2025

This week’s GGMillion$ was a classic, as some of the best-known online poker players clashed in a battle for glory on GGPoker. When the last elimination crowned a winner, it was ‘IamBusinessman’ from Russia who finally ended his long wait for a GGMillion$ title, claiming the top prize of $291,188.

Kovalski Walks into a Cooler

This week’s GGMillion$ finale saw regular host Jeff Gross joined by Stoyan Obreshkov in the commentary booth as players battled towards the top prize of $291,188. A thrilling race to the finish line began with Russian online boss ‘IamBusinessman’ on top with 75 big blinds. Second in chips was the Belgian Pieter Aerts (63BB), with Brazilian ‘axelroses’, followed by Swedish player and four-time champion Niklas Astedt, both on 53 big blinds.

The German poker professional Dominik Nitsche sat only marginally further back on 51 big blinds, with Brazil’s Fabiano Kovalski (32BB), Finnish pro Casimir Seire (29BB), British poker player Owen Messere (23BB) and Russian Ilia Arkhipov (21BB) hoping an early boost to their stack would put them right back into contention. 

The first player to bust was a surprising one, as Fabiano Kovalski almost shoved the river with ace-eight on a board showing 8-5-5-6-8, with three clubs. Owen Messere had checked across the board and indeed on the river but raised by enough to put the Brazilian at risk of elimination and when Kovalski snap-called with the full house, he was stunned. Messere had expertly slow-played seven-four of clubs for the perfect trap, a straight flush! Kovalski was out in ninth for $40,290.

Astedt Bows Out as Only Former Winner Falls

Finnish player Casimir Seire has become an online poker star recently, and once again reached the final table here in the GGMillion$. In the small blind, he raised Dominik Nitsche’s opening bet, shoving for 17 big blinds with ace-king. Brazil’s ‘axelroses’ re-raised all-in with pocket kings, and after the German Nitsche got out of the way, Seire called it off. A board of T-8-5-6-9 saw Seire exit in eighth for $51,590, but it was Nitsche who was left ruing his luck, as his fives would have made bottom set and given him the chip lead if he’d made the ‘wrong’ call pre-flop.

Seven players remained, with Niklas Astedt the only former winner, the Swede having won it four times, with everyone else at the table yet to experience the feeling of becoming GGMillion$ champion. It was a cold deck that sent Russian player Ilia Arkhipov home in seventh for $66,060 as the player who had come into play bottom of the pile laddered two places but no further. On a board showing K-K-5-3, Belgium’s Pieter Aerts bet 155,000 into a pot of 621,000. Arkhipov shoved with queen-jack of diamonds, drawing to a flush from the flop, but an offsuit nine ended the Russian’s hopes of victory as Aerts, a supremely consistent MTT player, took the outright chip lead.

A few hands later, and just under two hours into proceedings, it was confirmed that a new name would be champion. Astedt was desperately unlucky not to double up as he committed his final chips with king-seven on a flop of 7-2-2 against the ten-seven of ‘axelroses’. The Brazilian had all the luck as his 24% chance of winning the pot came in, a ten coming in on the turn to pay him off. A river of a three did not change anything and sent the Swedish poker boss super short. One hand later, a suited jack-seven for two bigs was no good, as Messere’s ace-seven held to send the Swede to defeat for $84,588 in sixth.

Flushed out of the Final

The Russian player ‘IamBusinessman’ looked to be under a severe threat of going home, as the short stack with five left. His resurgence, however, was as surprising as it was a shot in the arm for any predictions of a procession. First, the Russian almost doubled through Dominik Nitsche as a pair of jacks beat a pair of fours as an unnecessarily bloated pot went his way. Then, soon after, ace-queen beat ‘axelroses’ nine-eight offsuit as the Brazilian busted for $108,314 in fifth place.

“Ace-queen is my least favorite hand – I wrote poems about it!” laughed Jeff Gross on comms. A sweaty board of K-9-7-T-A eventually sent ‘axelroses’ home, though, and with four left, it was still Aerts who had the lead on 5.38 million chips, with  Messere now second in chips on 3.74 million. ‘IamBusinessman’ (2.94m) and Nitsche (1.96m) were still very much in play.

Nitsche lost much of his stack with a rivered straight to the turned flush of ‘IamBusinessman’, busting soon after in fourth place for $138,694 when his ace-three was shot down by Aert’s ten-eight – two eights landing on the flop, leaving Nitsche nearly drawing dead as the field was reduced to three. Play was heads-up soon after, with Aerts taking the majority of Messere’s chips in a series of pots before the British player shoved with ten-eight of clubs into Aerts’ ace-king. A clean board of K-J-2-Q-3 sent play into the final duel with Aerts on 10.5 million chips, up against ‘IamBusinessman’ with 3.5m, as Messere cashed for $177,594 in third place. 

The final battle was as dramatic as what happened leading up to it, with the Russian taking the lead with a better pair when Aerts felt bluffing might win the day. A crucial pot went the Russian’s way when the Q-Q-8-A-4 board gave way for the queen-jack of ‘IamBusinessman’ to overtake Aerts’ ace-jack. 

Aerts had lost his lead and, on a board of Q-T-4-2-4 with three spades, lost the tournament. With a pot of just 1.8m in the middle, ‘IamBusinessman’ shoved with five-three of spades. It was pitched perfectly to look like a bluff to steal the pot and increase his lead from 3:1 to 5:1 in chips. Aerts held the ‘Texas Dolly’ – the hand used by Doyle Brunson to win the final hand in back-to-back WSOP Main Event wins in 1976 and 1977. The ten-deuce, which gave the Belgian two pair, proved irresistible to the Belgian. He made the call and watched as his final chips were moved across the table to his opponent, earning Aerts $227,406 as runner-up.

GGMillion$ Won by RRomashka as Epic Comeback Denies Messere Again – March 19, 2025

A thrilling finale in this week’s $10,000 GGMillion$ on GGPoker saw Russian player ‘RRomashka’ win the title and over $386,000 after beating British frontrunner Owen Messere heads-up. With poker legends such as Pablo Silva, Johannes Straver, and Vlad Darie all falling short of glory, a four-hour epic played out on the GGPoker YouTube channel, entertaining fans long into the night.

Early Departure for Silva Surfer

Matthew Lambrecht was this week’s special guest alongside Jeff Gross in the commentary box. The American, who has just under $3 million in live poker tournament earnings, a 2024 WSOP bracelet, and a massive reputation across the United States, cast his eye over the nine finalists across four hours of top-quality entertainment on the GGPoker YouTube livestream. 

Heading into the action, last week’s third-place finisher was this week’s front-runner, as Owen Messere from the United Kingdom had the chip lead with 89 big blinds. The Romanian tournament specialist Vlad Darie (69BB) was significantly behind him, with Samuel ‘€urop€an’ Vousden (63BB) hot on the heels of Daire. After Israel’s Ravid Garbi (53BB), there was another 20BB gap to those who began with much less than half the leader’s stack. Mexico’s ‘LuLove’ (33BB), Austrian Johannes Straver (26BB), Brazilian Pablo Silva (20BB), Russia’s ‘RRomashka’ (15BB), and Chinese player ‘Ming Dai 310’ (11BB) were all hoping a fast start would put them back in the race. 

It took less than 20 minutes for the first exit, as Brazil’s Pablo Silva, so often a GGMillion$ powerhouse, was unable to work his way back into contention. Slipping to less than 10 big blinds, he moved all-in pre-flop with ace-jack offsuit, but he couldn’t find help in a flip against ‘Ming Dai 310’ holding pocket eights. A board of Q-6-2-3-9 ejected the dangerous Silva from the competition with a prize of $52,267 in ninth place.

Garbi Throws Away the Snowmen

There were pocket pairs everywhere when a stunning hand reduced the field from eight to seven. Ravid Garbi had pocket eights, Vlad Darie had sevens, and Johannes Straver a pair of jacks. Darie min-raised from middle position and was re-raised by Straver. Samuel Vousden, with ace-king, four-bet from the dealer spot, which led to Garbi and Daire folding and Straver shoving. Vousden called off his stack making it a 3.3 million pot. A flop of A-8-4 condemned Straver to just 2 outs. The deuce of hearts landed on the turn increasing the number of cards he was chasing. 

Any heart or jack would save Straver, but an offsuit king only improved Vousden’s hand to two-pair. It was worth noting that Garbi, had he remained in the hand, would have eliminated both players with middle set on the flop. Instead, Vousden eliminated the Austrian, sending Straver home with $66,659 and moving to second in chips close to Messere.

Soon, seven was down to six. Vlad Darie had the best of it on a flop of K-9-6, holding king-eight. ‘Ming Dai 310’ called off their stack with queen-ten of diamonds and an inside straight flush draw on the flop. A ten on the turn gave the Chinese player more outs, but it was not enough as an offsuit five on the river confirmed the end for Ming Dai 310 after just over 30 minutes of play, coming with a cash of $85,016 in seventh place.

‘RRomashka’ got a juicy double-up through Darie the very next hand to make sure the Romanian stayed humble, ace-king beating ace-eight as ‘LuLove’ folded pocket tens pre-flop and survived where in many other spots they would have busted. 

The table would wait 48 minutes for the next elimination, which was Ravid Garbi. Garbi had become super short when his ace-king lost to pocket queens held by ‘LuLove’. He was forced all in as the big blind with ten-seven offsuit for less than a blind. He was called by Darie holding ace-king. The board came down 8-5-3-2-J meaning both players missed the board and the Romanian’s higher cards would play. The lone Israeli player was sent home with $108,427 in sixth place.

Vousden Fades Late as RRomashka Seals Victory

Darie won that hand after a protracted period without an elimination only to find himself in trouble just 8 minutes later. Under the gun, min-clicked with pocket jacks and was raised by ‘LuLove’ holding pocket kings. Darie 3-bet, which was met by a shove ‘LuLove’ that was snap-called. The Mexican had the marginally bigger stack as the 2 faced off for a 4.3m chip pot. The cards were turned up and Darie saw the bad news which only got worse on the A-K-3 flop. A seven on the turn had Darie drawing dead as the meaningless four on the river sent Darie to the virtual rail with $138,285 in fifth place. 

Four players remained with Samuel Vousden as the chip leader with 5.85 million chips. The overnight leader, Owen Messere, was still sitting strong on 5.42 million, while ‘LuLove’ who had started the final table in the bottom half, was now sitting on 4.88 million. This left ‘RRomashka’ to bring up the rear with just 2.76 million. Everything would change over the next 1.25 hours as the chips passed back and forth without an elimination. Vousden, the former chip leader, found himself as the short stack when he shoved pre-flop with the ace-deuce of hearts. He was called to his doom by the dominating of ‘RRomashka’ holding ace-five of diamonds. A board of A-9-3 with no hearts wasn’t good news, but a nine on the turn made it a 39% shot that the players would chop or Vousden would survive. An offsuit four on the river was a disaster for ‘€urop€an’, and he was out in fourth place for $176,365.

One of the most fascinating hands of the night, the hand that sent play heads-up, occurred on a board of 8-3-2-3-7 with no flush draw. ‘RRomashka’ shoved when holding six-three and a larger stack than ‘LuLove’ putting the Mexico-based player into the tank with king-eight for their tournament life. Eventually, ‘LuLove’ called and departed in third place for $224,932, leaving ‘RRomashka’ in the lead with 11.2 million against the 7.7 million stack of Owen Messere, last week’s 3rd place finisher. 

With the roles from the start of play reversed, the overnight chip leader was chasing the chip leader, Russia’s ‘RRomashka’, who began play eighth of the nine final table players. Despite a brilliant bluff to get back into it, Messere was still a 2:1 dog when the final hand played out. ‘RRomashka’ raised with a suited ace-queen, and Messere shoved with pocket fives. ‘RRomashka’ called it off, needing only to win the flip to take the title. A flop of Q-J-6 put the Russian into the lead and, after an eight on the turn, the British player was chasing one of two outs on the river. His miracle never came in, as a ten confirmed the fourth GGMillion$ title for ‘RRomashka’s as he won possibly his best GGMillion$ final table ever, starting eighth to end up on top.

Watch all the action in the company of Jeff Gross and Matthew Lambrecht in all its glory here, as RRomashka, who won one of the most exciting GGPoker final tables in recent memory at 29 to 1 on the GGMillion$ betting odds.

GGMillion$ Won by First Timer Straver as Vogelsang Fades Late – March 26, 2025

This week, the GGMillion$ final table hosted nine exceptional players from nine different countries in a truly global showdown on GGPoker. Christoph Vogelsang, Adrian Mateos, and Jans Arends all brought vast experience to the final table, but it was the Austrian Johannes Straver who booked the win, taking home $386,195 after a thrilling conclusion to the tournament.

‘Espolon’ Leads the Way

Heading into the final table, it was a very balanced set of chip counts, with less than 40 big blinds between the chip leader and the shortest stack. Russian player ‘Espolon’ led the field with 64 big blinds, closely followed by a Spanish multiple WSOP bracelet winner, Adrian Mateos (61BB). Behind the top two, both Austria’s Johannes Straver (54BB) and German legend Christoph Vogelsang (50BB) were in nearby attendance, chips-wise. 

Others had less to start with but playable stacks nonetheless, with Triton Poker Series player Wai Kiat Lee from Malaysia and British player Gavin Andreanoff both on 37 big blinds. Just behind those two players were two more, with Irishman Jon Proudfoot and Dutch GGMillion$ regular Jans Arends, both beginning with 35 big blinds. The short stack coming into play was the Belarussian Ihar Soika, but with a stack of 25 big blinds, he had a very playable stack.

Chips were passed around the table for the first 45 minutes of play before the first player was finally knocked out. The Dutchman Arends had lost more than he had won over time and was all-in pre-flop with the monstrous hand of pocket queens. Unfortunately, he ran into an even bigger monster, pocket aces, in Wai Kiat Lee’s hand. The Malaysian had the bigger stack, and after a runout of K-4-4-2-3, the field was down to eight, and Arends cashed for $55,170 in ninth place.

Kiat Lee Has Aces Cracked

It would be another 40 minutes of chips going around the table before eight became seven. The overnight short stack Ihar Soika, who was down to 4 bigs, shoved with pocket sevens and was called by Christoph Vogelsang with ace-deuce. The Belarussian’s sevens held, and he doubled up, but in the very next hand, he ran his ace-queen into Kiat Lee’s pocket kings. This time, there was no luck for the at-risk player, as a cruel board of A-6-5-9-3 initially saw Soika overtake his opponent on the flop, only for the board to play out runner-runner in spades to make Kiat Lee’s flush. Soika cashed for $70,363. 

Irish player Jon Proudfoot was next to bust, cashing for $89,739 when his king-queen offsuit ran into Vogelsang’s ace-jack of hearts. With the chips committed pre-flop, a flop of 6-4-3 with two hearts was a nightmare for Proudfoot, and after another four on the turn, only a non-heart king or queen would help on the river to come. An offsuit seven ended the drama, and Proudfoot was gone as Vogelsang won a crucial pot to strengthen his own chances.

Kiat Lee was one of the dominant players at the final table, but he encountered horrific misfortune and crashed out in sixth place. Johannes Straver raised it up pre-flop with pocket queens after Espolon’s opening bet. Kiat Lee re-popped it with pocket aces, and when Straver shoved for 4.8 million total, Kiat Lee called off his entire 3.7 million chip stack. A flop of 9-7-4 was safe enough, although things got tricky on the turn, as the ace of clubs gave Kiat Lee top set but offered Straver a glimmer hope for an upset with his queen of clubs. Sure enough, the three of clubs on the river sealed a spectacular 8 million-chip pot for the Austrian as Kiat Lee busted in sixth for $114,451.

Russian player ‘Espolon’ began the final table in pole position, but nearly 3 hours into the final table, he was down to less than 10 big blinds. He called pre-flop with ace-jack on what would be his final hand but was well behind Vogelsang’s ace-queen suited in hearts. A flop of A-7-3 with two hearts, a perfect flop for Vogelsang, and when he bet, ‘Espolon’, who had the jack of hearts, shoved. The German snap-called. Only a jack would save the Russian, but the seven, which fell on the turn, did offer the Russian outs to a chop. An offsuit four on the river was no good, and ‘Espolon’ busted in fifth for $145,968 as the starting chip leader busted before the final four.

Straver Presses His Edge

Play reached four-handed, with Straver in the leader holding 8.51 million chips, but Vogelsang’s resurgence saw him pile up 7.75 million as a very close second on the leaderboard. Andreanoff (2.4m) and Adrian Mateos (1.28m) had a lot of work to do if they wanted to win. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, a small blind shove with ten-seven was no good against Andreanoff’s queen-eight as the British player’s higher cards played and Mateos cashed for $186,163 in fourth.

Three-handed play lasted a very short space of time, 2 hands to be exact, as the final stages of this week’s GGMillion$ raced to completion. A board of Q-9-5-2-Q saw Straver shove the river with some well-disguised pocket tens. Andreanoff called it off with jack-nine, congratulating his opponents with the ‘Good Game’ emoji and went to the rail for $237,428 richer.

The final two went into battle with German high roller regular Christoph Vogelsang holding around half the chips of Austria’s Johannes Straver as both men looked to break their GGMillion$ duck. Vogelsang drifted further behind before getting all his chips in with king-eight. Straver made the call with ace-jack, and a flop of J-9-6 left the German looking for a miracle. A four of hearts on the turn ruled out the backdoor flush as Vogelsang was nearly drawing dead, needing one of three kings on the river. A deuce came instead, relegating him to the runner-up position for a cash of $302,809, while Straver locked up $386,195 for the win and his first-ever GGMillion$ triumph.
