Artem Osmirko won the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller for $303,531 and a $10,000 2026 WSOP Paradise package after defeating Hong heads-up. The 144-entry event featured a $1,396,800 prize pool, with Aleksejs Ponakovs and Thomas Muehloecker among the top 15 cashers.

Online poker's premier weekly high-roller tournament has crowned a new champion, as Russia's Artem Osmirko secured victory in the latest edition of the $10,000 buy-in GGPoker GGMillion$. The event attracted a field of 144 entrants, generating a total prize pool of $1,396,800.

For his winning performance, Osmirko earned the top payout of $303,531 along with a $10,000 package to compete in the GGMillion$ live event at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise.

A total of 15 players earned a piece of the prize pool. Latvia's Aleksejs Ponakovs became the first player to cash, exiting in 15th place for $23,279. This cash brought Ponakovs closer to the $7.6 million mark in lifetime GGMillion$ earnings.

Further up the payout ladder, Thomas Muehloecker secured a 12th place finish to collect $26,097. The final table bubble officially burst when Tobias Eichenseher departed in 10th place, taking home $32,789.

The tournament concluded in dramatic fashion during heads-up play between Osmirko and Hong. Hong limped into the pot holding pocket nines, prompting Osmirko to shove all-in with ace-seven. Hong committed his remaining stack of approximately 12 big blinds with a call.

The flop came ten-nine-jack, giving Hong a set of nines. However, an eight on the turn completed a jack-high straight for Osmirko.

A king arrived on the river without changing the outcome, eliminating Hong in second place with a payout of $237,045. With that knockout, Osmirko sealed his first GGPoker GGMillion$ title and the $303,531 top reward.

While Osmirko recorded a standout achievement by winning his maiden title, he remains outside the top 10 in the tournament's all-time rankings.

Russian professional Artur Martirosian continues to dominate the GGMillion$ leaderboard across every major category.

Martirosian holds the records for the most in-the-money finishes at 95, the most final table appearances at 50, and the most outright titles with 13 victories.

Additionally, Martirosian tops the all-time earnings list with $11,137,437 in accumulated tournament payouts.
