Event #13: €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em GGMillion€
Day 1 Completed
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.

Krasimir Yankov limped in from the hijack and Luka Bojovic raised to 45,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Yankov who used a time bank before opting to call.
The flop came Ax7♣2♦, Yankov check-called the 40,000 continuation-bet of Bojovic.
They checked through the 9♠ on the turn to the J♥ on the river. Yankov shoved for 369,000 for Bojovic to call immediately with the bigger stack.
Yankov showed the 2♠2♣ for the flopped set of deuces. Bojovic nodded and tabled the A♥Q♥ to show he had held top pair.

Thomas Eychenne: A♦5♦
Krasimir Yankov: 8♠8♦
Eychenne was ahead with his pair of aces, and they held up through the 9♦Q♦ runout, which earned him a big double-up.

Alessio La Francesca managed to double up and get a few shoves through, but that was in vain as he eventually busted.
First, Ioannis Angelou Konstas opened from under the gun and then called the shove of La Francesca, who moved all in for 133,000 from the hijack.
Alessio La Francesca: A♠A♣
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: Q♣7♣
The runout of 2♦9♥7♦4♠10♠ kept the aces of La Francesca in the lead, and he doubled up.
Not long after, La Francesca shoved the small blind for around 330,000, and Sirzat Hissou took his time before he called out of the big blind.
Alessio La Francesca: A♣7♥
Sirzat Hissou: K♦Q♥
"A big flip," said La Francesca, and it was him that stayed in the lead on the Q♦9♣A♥ flop as he paired his ace. However, Hissou made a pair, and improved to two pair on the K♠ turn, which left La Francesca drawing slim.
No help arrived on the 2♣ river, and La Francesca hit the rail.
