Russia’s Vladimir Minko has claimed his second GGMillion$ title after winning the latest $10,000 High Roller event on GGPoker, earning $404,362 for the triumph. Minko defeated a strong field of 202 entrants, ultimately beating Spain’s Juan Dominguez heads-up to deny him what would have been his sixth GGMillion$ victory.
The result pushes Minko’s total GGPoker tournament earnings beyond $19 million, with more than $3.3 million of that sum coming specifically from GGMillion$ events.
Minko entered the final table sitting third in chips, behind overnight leaders Dominguez and Osmirko Artem. Action moved quickly once play resumed, with Yahor Dambrouski becoming the first casualty after an all-in confrontation involving David Kaufmann’s pocket kings.
Several notable names fell during the middle stages, including 13-time GGMillion$ champion Artur Martirosian, who was eliminated after losing key pots to both Kaufmann and a player using the alias “unelmavavy.” Sebastian Gaehl and Osmirko Artem also exited before three-handed play began.
A lengthy battle between the final three players saw Kaufmann lose his chip lead and eventually bust in third place after back-to-back defeats to Dominguez, setting up the heads-up clash.
Dominguez began heads-up play with a sizable chip advantage, but Minko quickly turned the tables. After winning a crucial pot to seize the lead, Minko sealed the title minutes later when his ace-three held against Dominguez’s jack-ten, completing the win in just 15 minutes of one-on-one play.
