German pro Stefan Schillhabel has claimed his second World Series of Poker bracelet, four years after his first triumph in the $500 Housewarming Online event. On August 23, 2026, he took down the $100 Flip & Go tournament on GGPoker for $150,740.
The event featured a unique structure, with 7,277 entrants first playing an all-in “Flip” stage that determined by pure luck who advanced to the “Go” portion, which then played out as a standard No-Limit Hold’em tournament. The total prize pool reached $1,195,005.
Israeli streamer Maxim “Nesher_boy” Sheingart was the first of the nine finalists to fall, earning $21,532 for ninth place, while Vietnam’s “Bongbonggg” followed in eighth for $27,460. Further eliminations saw Zhaoxing “Jokerwang777” Wang and Antonio Galiana exit in sixth and fifth positions respectively.
David Mzareulov, still chasing his first bracelet, finished fourth for $72,642, before Patrick “Nelepo10” Ulyssea departed in third for $92,643, setting up a heads-up duel between Schillhabel and Neville “Lionevil” Costa.
Schillhabel ultimately prevailed, adding the bracelet and a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Main Event to his prize, while Costa earned $118,153 as runner-up.
Elsewhere in the series, the $1,500 Monster Stack event cut its 1,482 entrants down to 37 for Day 2, with Brazil’s Artur Berg leading the chip counts. Meanwhile, the $500 Mini Main Event continues to build toward its $5 million guarantee across multiple starting flights.
