Sirzat Hissou Bags Big Stack as GGMillion€ Field Plays Down to 13
It was a late start for the €25,000 GGMillion€ at the 2025 World Series of Poker Europe, with the action getting underway at 9 p.m. local time instead of the originally scheduled 4 p.m. Despite the adjusted kick-off, 18 entries were recorded on Day 1, and after seven levels of high-stakes action, just 13 players advanced to Wednesday’s final day inside King’s Resort.
Germany’s Sirzat Hissou leads the pack after bagging up 1,420,000, putting himself in prime position for a deep run toward the bracelet. He is closely followed by bracelet winner Jessica Teusl (1,100,000) and Czech bracelet winner Zdenek Zizka (1,055,000), who will both return with healthy stacks.
