Yesterday was Tuesday, which is traditionally when the final table of the $10,300 buy-in, $1,000,000 GGMillion tournament takes place. As is customary here, the guarantee was surpassed thanks to 185 entries, which meant a prizepool of $1,850,000.
Of this amount, the winner could take home $376,032 and it was battled for by such names as Adrian Mateos, Alexander Tkatschew, Artur Martirosian, Alisson Piekazewicz and chipleader Benjamin Rolle.
Artur Martirosian, the record holder of this tournament, who has 11 GGMillion$ titles, finished the tournament among the top finishers in 8th place, worth $68,511. He was eliminated by Alexander Tkatschew.
Of the German-speaking duo of Alexander Tkatschew and Benjamin Rolle, the original final table chipleader made it the furthest. Benjamin Rolle had to settle for fifth place and a prize of $142,126.
Adrian Mateos entered the final heads-up with a stack of 12.1 million and Santiago "Come2Brazil" Plante with a stack of 7.1 million. Heads-up play lasted just three hands, after which Adrian Mateos was crowned champion. He was sitting at his 18th GGMillion$ final table and won his fourth title. He has now taken home more than $4 million from GGMillion$ tournaments alone. Santiago "Come2Brazil" Plante made the final table from the satellite, which he converted into a $294,841 second-place prize.
