Table Of Contents
The 2026 WSOP Online at GGPoker will go out with a bang, with the 33rd and final bracelet-awarding event concluding on September 29. Only nine of the 1,754 starters in the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers remain. Four of those finalists will walk away with scores of more than $1 million, with the champion netting $2,228,762.
The 1,754 entrants created a $17,013,800 prize pool that the top 173 finishers shared. A min-cashed tipped the scales at $27,051, but the least any of the remaining players will add to their GGPoker accounts is $278,847.

As you would expect for such a high buy-in tournament, the final table reads like a who's who of the poker world.
Austria-based Dutchman Roeland Peeks goes into the star-studded final table holding a colossal chip lead. Peeks takes his seat with 172 big blinds at his disposal, almost 100 more than the talented Spaniard Sergio Aido (73 big blinds) in second place. Aido would become a three-time bracelet winner if he manages to overturn that substantial chip disadvantage.
Brazilian Matheus Machado (37 big blinds) occupies third place at the restart, with almost six times fewer chips than the chip leader. Machado won a bracelet at the 2024 WSOP Paradise festival, taking down the GGMasters Online Championship for $441,452.
The player returning fourth in chips with 37 big blinds is none other than Niklas Astedt. The uber-talented Swede always seems to be there or thereabouts when the big money comes calling. Astedt doesn't own a WSOP bracelet, mostly because he rarely travels to the WSOP or WSOP Europe stops due to the severe taxation of Swedish poker players abroad. This could be his best chance of capturing a piece of poker's most sought-after jewelry.
Ole Schemion (32 big blinds) is hoping to complete a hat trick of WSOP bracelet victories. He bagged his first back in 2021 in the $1,979 No Limit Hold'em Poker Hall of Fame Bounty and his second in the €5,300 PLO European Championship at the WSOP Europe series earlier this year.
Just below Schemion in the overnight chip counts is Christopher Nguyen (28 big blinds). The high-stakes specialist has won more than $11.7 million since 2024, including a €1,100,000 prize for taking down the 2026 WSOPE €20,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super High Roller in April, which also came with a WSOP bracelet.
Johannes Straver has been tearing up trees during the 2026 World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars and has continued his rich vein of form at GGPoker. Straver sits down armed with 24 big blinds, enough for seventh-place at the restart.
Israel's Oshri Lahmani (19 big blinds) is one of the lesser-well-known players at the final table, but he has navigated to the big stage on merit. In 2024, Lehmani finished fifth in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship at the WSOP in Las Vegas for a career-best $315,098. More recently, in August 2026, he scooped $375,000 for a third-place finish in a $10,400 opening event at theOnyx High Roller Series in North Cyprus.
Bringing up the rear with 19 big blinds is Alessandro De Michele, a Slovenia-based Italian veteran with scores dating back to 2007. He has more than $830,000 in live tournament winnings, including a €25,850 prize for a seventh-place finish in a €350 No-Limit Hold'em 2023 WSOP Europe Opener event, which is the closest De Michele has come to capturing a WSOP bracelet.
Play resumes at 7:00 p.m. BST on September 29, continuing until one player has all the chips in play, at which point they'll exchange them for $2,228,762, a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, and the all-important gold bracelet.
The final table is being streamed on the GGPoker YouTube channel, with cards-up coverage on a one-hour delay. The legendary Alex Foxen is Jeff Gross' special guest in the commentary booth.
