Five First Time WSOP Bracelet Winners Crowned on GGPoker
The 2025 WSOP Online on GGPoker has hit full stride, with five fresh champions etching their names into World Series of Poker history over the past week.
Sander Ostlyngen, Barbara Akemi, Victor Lima, Song Hui, and Arie Miller all secured their maiden bracelets, with Hui’s $681,610 Mini Main Event payday standing out as the biggest first-place prize of the series so far. And as with all bracelet winners throughout the festival, they've all banked themselves a $30,000 WSOP Paradise package.
Ostlyngen Reels in First Bracelet & $90K
Norway’s Sander Ostlyngen captured his first bracelet in Event #9: $320 Bounty NLH, topping a 3,881-entry field for $95,097. The score is the biggest of his online career and the second largest overall, behind the €463,850 ($489,649) he earned by winning the €2,200 Eureka High Roller at EPT Prague in 2022.
That 2022 victory was a breakout moment for Ostlyngen, who had just nine recorded live cashes and $28,185 in earnings before that win. His live tournament total now sits at $679,947.
