Redemption for " O O L" Who Wins the WSOP Online COLOSSUS
Three years ago, Serbia's "O O L" Djukic came agonizingly close to becoming a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner. They fell at the final hurdle in the $1,050 No-Limit Hold'em GGMasters HR Freezeout Online event, losing heads-up to an anonymous Spanish player. Although they collected $216,348 for his runner-up finish, like most poker players, he wanted the bracelet.
Fastforward to September 15, 2025, and "O O L" more than made amends for his bridesmaid finish three years prior. The Serbian topped a massive 14,803-strong field in the $400 COLOSSUS, claiming his first bracelet and a cool $692,842 of the guarantee-busting $5,565,928 prize pool.
Career-Best Score and First WSOP Bracelet for "O O L"
On Day 2 of the COLOSSUS, 1,516 of the 14,803 starters returned to the GGPoker tables, each with a $786 minimum cash locked in. By the time the tournament was down to its last three tables, the players guaranteed themselves a five-figure haul. When Russia's Kazi Bairamukov busted in tenth place for $49,211, the final table was set, and the bracelet was in reach for the nine finalists.
Brazilian "DedsPeps" was the first to fall, finishing ninth for a $86,609 score. "wvwMasteRwvw" ($112,306) and Habibi Albi ($145,631) were eliminated, leaving only six players in the hunt for the title before "Ophelie" ($188,847) and "Jason0322" ($244,892) crashed by the wayside.
The United Kingdom's Daniel Daw took fourth place and an impressive $317,574, and the COLOSSUS progressed to the heads-up stage when "StackOderWeg" saw their deep run end in a third-place finish worth $411,831.
"O O L" found themselves heads-up against Peruvian Oscar Cueva for the title and the lion's share of the $5,565,928 prize pool. "O O L" got the job done and his hands on $692,842, plus, more importantly, his first WSOP bracelet. Cueva headed into the night having received $534,066 for his runner-up finish.

Akimov had to battle some special players en route to his bracelet win. Stoyan Madanzhiev, Yuzhou Yin, Ben Miner, Elior Sion, and Xu Zhu navigated to the final table but ultimately fell short.

"K!ngOfM!A" Crowned Lucky Sevens Bounty Champion
Progressive bounty tournaments tend to get the poker community excited, particularly when the stakes are high. Event #19: Lucky Sevens Bounty 7-Handed may have cost $777 to enter, but that didn't prevent 2,503 players from turning out for it. Those entrants created a $1,847,589 prize pool and some rather large bounties by the end.
Pavel Plesuv reached the final table but had to make do with a fifth-place finish. Plesuv banked $42,988 from the regular prize pool plus another $7,891 worth of bounties for a total haul weighing in at $50,879.
The duo that reached the heads-up stage padded their GGPoker bankrolls with six-figure prizes. Bernard Larabi, who had earlier finished sixth in the $5,000 Short Deck Championship, busted in second place for a $124,200 prize, including bounties. Larabi's untimely demise left "K!ngOfM!A" as the last player standing, meaning they scooped a WSOP bracelet and $194,847 in prize money.

Iago Botelho Claims WSOP Gold for Brazil
Brazilian Iago Botelho is $158,759 richer than he was a few days ago, and he's a WSOP champion, after he came out on top of a 1,803-strong field in Event #22: $800 Ultra Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em. The top 270 finishers shared the $1,370,280 prize pool, a min-cash weighing in at $1,630, which increased to $28,925 for a final table appearance.
Former sit&go grinder and current popular Twitch streamer Hristo Anastassov bowed out in fifth and saw his $800 investment swell to $60,005. "panesiia" joined the long list of eliminated players; their fourth-place finish earned them $76,529.
Mark Kolbanstev narrowly missed out on a $100,000+ prize when he ran out of steam in third. Kolbanstev took home $97,602 for his efforts.
Heads-up saw Botelho lock horns with Alessio La Francesca, an Italian who won a $1,650 side event at last year's WSOP Paradise festival. The win slipped away from La Francesca this time around, although the $124,479 runner-up prize should go some way to numbing the pain. With La Francesca's exit, Botelho became a WSOP bracelet winner and the recipient of $158,759.

"Look@This" Denies Neugebauer His Second Bracelet
A field of 1,392 GGPoker players descended on Event #21: $1,500 WSOP GGMasters HR Freezeout NLH and created a $1,983,600 prize pool. Only 195 of those starters made it into the money, including Rainer Kempe, Renan Bruschi, Mark Radoja, Christian Rudolph, and Dario Sammartino.
All eyes were on Max Neugebauer once the nine-handed final table was set, not least because the giant Austrian won the €10,350 WSOP Europe Main Event title in 2023 for €1,500,000 and the event's bracelet. Neugebauer reached the heads-up section of this $1,500 event and looked set to join the ever-growing list of players with multiple bracelets to his name. However, "Look@This" of Malta spoiled the party, resigning Neugebauer to a $231,177 consolation prize and claiming the bracelet and $299,801 top prize for themselves.

Kirill Shugai Denies Lucas Greenwood a Gold Bracelet
The Greenwood brothers, Sam and Lucas, are hugely successful poker players. Only Sam has managed to capture a WSOP bracelet, but that almost changed in Event #23: $400 PLOSSUS. Almost being the operative word.
After leaving all but one of the 409 entrants in his wake, which included such luminaries as Damian Salas, Simon Mattsson, and Jerry Odeen, Lucas Greenwood found himself heads-up against Kirill Shugai. It was the deepest Greenwood had reached in a bracelet-awarding event since his fourth-place finish in the $1,500 Mixed NLHE/PLO event at the 2019 WSOP in Las Vegas.
Unfortunately for Greenwood, he would lose heads-up to his Russian opponent and had to make do with a runner-up prize worth $84,076 whe you include progressive bounties. Shugai will likely still be celebrating his impressive win, which earned him a gold WSOP bracelet and a total cash haul worth $174,374.
