A GGPoker player identified as Aleksandr Kropotov, competing under the alias “sasha1317!”, has captured a World Series of Poker bracelet after dominating the final table of the $250 Mystery Millions. The Russian eliminated seven of his eight opponents en route to a $631,459 payday, along with a $30,000 Super Pass to the Super Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Paradise festival.

The tournament attracted 47,798 entries across numerous starting flights, building a prize pool of $10,993,540. The event had already made headlines a day earlier when player “DrAvacado” claimed a $1 million jackpot bounty as the field was trimmed to the final nine.

Thanks to bounty payments layered onto the standard prize pool, eight of the nine finalists secured six-figure scores. Only Denys Chufarin, who arrived at the table as short stack, fell short of that mark, busting first for $85,282.

Andorra-based Spaniard Francisco Zufia departed in eighth for $101,691, followed by Malaysia’s Gay Peng Tan in seventh for $132,486. Eric Bonin, boosted by $142,050 in mystery bounties, took home $306,963 after finishing sixth, while Norman Schreck and Mikhail Suy exited with $220,753 and $283,313 respectively.

Oliver Bosch’s elimination in third place, worth $363,048, set up a heads-up showdown between Kropotov and Canada’s Jessica Moors. Kropotov closed out the tournament by defeating Moors, who settled for $480,160 as runner-up.

Kropotov’s Super Pass grants entry into the $50 million guaranteed WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, part of GGPoker’s promotion awarding passes to every bracelet winner across the 33-event 2026 WSOP Online series.
