Action folded to Eelis Parssinen on the button, and he moved all in for his stack of 6,300,000. Then Iago Sturzeneker in the small blind three-bet all in, which got the big blind to quickly fold and leave the players heads up.
Eelis Parssinen: K♠4♠
Iago Sturzeneker: A♦K♥
Sturzeneker had Parssinen dominated, but when the board ran out 9♦10♥4♣9♣Q♣, Parssinen paired his four to take the pot and double up.
Michael Moncek open-jammed from under the gun for his stack of 2,600,000, and Iago Sturzeneker in the cutoff three-bet all in, as the covering stack at the table. Then Johan Guilbert on the button quickly called for his stack of 14,200,000, as both the blinds folded to setup a three-way all in.
Michael Moncek: Q♣4♥
Johan Guilbert: A♠A♥
Iago Sturzeneker: 7♥7♣
Guilbert woke up with aces and was able to scoop the massive pot and take the chip lead when the board ran out 5♦10♠3♣4♦5♠, while eliminating Moncek in the process.
Michael Moncek had several consecutive jams get through, and he once again moved all in, this time from the button. Iago Sturzeneker folded in the small blind but Johan Guilbert called for his last 6,700,000 from the big blind.
Johan Guilbert: K♣J♥
Michael Moncek: A♠J♣
Moncek looked defeated after Guilbert found his three-outer on the K♠3♥2♥ flop. Moncek added some straight outs on the 10♥ turn but the 6♦ river saw him return to the bottom of the counts.
Action folded to the small blind Andrija Robovic, and he moved all in for his stack of roughly 2,000,000, which Johan Guilbert in the big blind quickly called.
Andrija Robovic: K♥7♦
Johan Guilbert: K♠8♠
Guilbert had Robovic dominated, but the J♥7♣Q♠ flop put Robovic in front when he paired his seven. However, it was just momentarily as the turn paired Guilbert when the 8♥ hit the turn. The river was the 10♦ to give the pot to Guilbert and eliminate Robovic.
Six players are returning to Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas to play some overtime after Event #14: $25,000 GGMillion$ Single Day Turbo played deep into the night at the World Series of Poker Paradise.
What was initially scheduled as a one-day sprint turned into a marathon, as 287 entries smashed the $5 million guarantee, creating a $7,318,500 prize pool, with $1,534,645 and a coveted WSOP gold bracelet awaiting the eventual champion. Exhaustion finally set in during the early morning hours, forcing play to halt with just six players remaining.
Iago Sturzeneker comes into the final day holding a commanding chip lead with 33,800,000 as he looks to secure his first WSOP bracelet, sitting with more than double the stack of Ramiro Petrone (13,300,000) in second place, while Eelis Parssinen rounds out the top three (12,300,000).

Day 1 delivered exactly what the GGMillion$ Single Day Turbo promised, fast levels, and nonstop all-in confrontations. The field was whittled down at a relentless pace as elite pros, high-stakes regulars, and bracelet winners flooded the tables, all looking to capitalize on the turbo structure.
Sturzeneker found himself the dominant chip leader after a massive decision for nearly half the chips in play to end the night on Day 1. After Michael Moncek shoved for roughly three times the pot on the river, Sturzeneker made a gutsy hero call. Moncek revealed a busted straight draw, while Sturzeneker turned over top pair to seize control and close the night as the clear favorite.
