The $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller on GGPoker delivered an unusually one-sided final table this week, with six of the nine finalists hailing from Brazil. The event drew 197 entrants and generated a $2,010,000 prize pool, one of the largest of its kind on the platform.
Carlos Ribeiro emerged as the eventual champion, capping a remarkable run that saw five Brazilians finish in the top six. Collectively, the Brazilian contingent banked over $1.3 million of the $1.67 million still in play once the final table began.
The unofficial final table started with Alisson Piekazewicz holding the chip lead, ahead of Bernardo Soares and Ribeiro. Dalton Hobold was eliminated first in ninth place after a short-stacked all-in with king-queen failed to improve against Piekazewicz.
Big pots followed as Biao Ding busted in eighth after a three-way preflop battle, and Alexandros Theologis fell in seventh despite a solver-approved bluff attempt against a flopped set of aces held by Bruno Botteon.
Play eventually became an all-Brazilian affair following Max Buschmann’s elimination in fourth. Soares departed in third after a three-bet shove was outdrawn by Piekazewicz, setting up an all-Brazilian heads-up duel.
Ribeiro ultimately prevailed over Piekazewicz, securing $406,521 along with a $10,000 seat into the live GGMillion$ event at the 2026 WSOP Paradise festival.
