Four years ago, Stefan Schillhabel became a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner when he became the champion of the $500 No-Limit Hold'em The Housewarming Online event at GGPoker. On August 23, 2026, Schillhabel doubled his bracelet haul with a victory in the $100 Flip & Go event.

The Flip & Go event was split into two distinct parts. Instead of a traditional Day 1, the 7,277 Flip players were set all-in, and it was down to pure luck who advanced to the Go stage. The Go portion of the event played out like a traditional No-Limit Hold'em tournament. It was here where Schillhabel excelled and ultimately received $150,740 of the $1,195,005 prize pool.

$21,532 was the least any of the nine finalists could win. It was that sum Israeli streamer Maxim "Nesher_boy" Sheingart collected when his tournament ended in a ninth-place finish.

It wasn't long before another player saw their stack go up in smoke. Vietnam's "Bongbonggg" busted in eighth, and $27,460 was credited to their GGPoker account.

The final table was reduced to six players following the untimely demise of Zhaoxing "Jokerwang777" Wang, and then five when Antonio Galiana fell by the wayside despite his alias "ImTheBest" suggesting he should have won.

Austria's "liano96" departed in fifth, a finish good for $56,958, with the prolific David Mzareulov's quest to become a WSOP bracelet winner stopped in its tracks in fourth place, which came with $72,642.

This event's final five-figure prize, $92,643, was awarded to Patrick "Nelepo10" Ulyssea when he was eliminated in third. Ulyssea's exit left Neville "Lionevil" Costa and Schillhabel heads-up for the title, the largest slice of the prize pool, the all-important bracelet, and a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Main Event.

The one-on-one battle went Schillhabel's way, and he became a two-time WSOP bracelet winner. Schillhabel's victory came with $150,740 plus the aforementioned added extras, while Costa collected $118,153.

Only 37 Players Remain in the $1,500 Monster Stack

The $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack saw its 1,482-strong field whittled to a more manageable 37 on Day 1. Those 37 surviving players are set to return to the GGPoker tables at 7:00 p.m. BST on August 24; one of them will see $256,542 land in their bankroll.

Artur Berg of Brazil (8,089,076) heads into the final day's action with the chip lead in tow. Berg's stack is 18 big blinds larger than second-placed Ludovic Uzan (6,622,383) and 55 big blinds larger than Dominik "Yogi-R" Siegl in third.

Others who punched their Day 2 tickets and have a legitimate shot at WSOP glory include Giorgiy "Giya" Skhulukhiya (3,932,226), Anatoly Filatov (2,805,191), Dante Fernandes (2,486,845), Ole Schemion (2,138,549), Guillaume Nolet (1,619,785), and recent WSOP Online champion Daniel Vicente (956,047).

Only Two Mini Main Event Flights Remain

Event #7: $500 Mini Main Event has seen 8,917 entries processed across 14 starting flights, and there are two more Day 1s scheduled. The tournament needs 10,526 entrants for GGPoker to avoid an overlay on the $5 million guarantee. Will another 1,609 players turn out across Day 1o (1:30 p.m. BST) and the Last Chance (4:30 p.m. BST)?

Day 2 of the Mini Main Event shuffles up and deals at 7:00 p.m. BST on August 24. The plan is for the players to continue grinding until only nine players remain. Those nine finalists will return on August 25 to conclude the event, with the champion set to receive more than $600,000 for their $500 investment.
