Sergio Aido Wins $2.2M and Third Bracelet in 2026 WSOP Online GGMillion$

Spain’s Sergio Aido captured his third WSOP bracelet and the largest prize of the 2026 WSOP Online, pocketing $2,228,762 after outlasting a 1,754-entry field in Event #33: $10K GGMillion$ High Rollers. The online series closed with this flagship tournament, which more than doubled the $10 million guarantee and delivered four seven-figure payouts from a star-laden final table streamed live on the GGPoker YouTube channel.

WSOP Online GGMillion$: Aido's Repeat Victory

Aido becomes a two-time champion of this event after winning the same title in 2024, when he claimed his second WSOP bracelet and a $1.9 million payout. This year's run affirms his status among online poker’s elite, as he fended off accomplished competitors including Brazil’s Matheus Machado, Germany’s Christopher Nguyen, and the Netherlands’ Roeland Peeks.

• Winner: Sergio Aido ($2,228,762, third bracelet)
• Runner-up: Matheus Machado ($1,718,571)
• 3rd: Roeland Peeks ($1,325,271)
• 4th: Christopher Nguyen ($1,021,994)
• Other finalists: Ole Schemion, Oshri Lahmani, Johannes Straver, Alessandro De Michele, Niklas Astedt

Players With Consistent Final Table Appearances

Three finalists—Aido, Nguyen, and Machado—were returning to the final table of this exact event. Machado also made the 2025 final table, finishing fifth, while in 2024 Nguyen went out in seventh and Aido took the title.

Final Table Recap: Chip Leaders and Key Eliminations

Play started with Roeland Peeks holding an imposing stack of more than 170 big blinds. Aido, second in chips, trailed by over 100 big blinds. The cluster below them included Machado, Niklas Astedt, and Ole Schemion with around 30–40 big blinds. Oshri Lahmani and Alessandro De Michele held the shortest stacks entering the nine-handed finale.

The early phase saw Machado driving the action:

• Niklas Astedt was the first elimination after a failed confrontation with Machado.
• De Michele sent most of his stack in against Machado, falling next when a queen-high flop ended his hopes.
• Machado also knocked out Johannes Straver and Oshri Lahmani in rapid succession, building a stack and pushing the table towards its payout ladder.
• Ole Schemion exited in fifth place after losing an all-in to Christopher Nguyen’s stronger holding.

When Only Four Remain: Aido Takes Control

Once the field was down to four, all survivors were guaranteed at least $1 million. Nguyen and Aido collided in a large pot that shifted the advantage strongly toward Aido. On a critical board, chips went in with Aido holding top two pair against Nguyen’s overpair; the river sent Nguyen to the rail in fourth.

Aido then built on his lead, but it was Machado who eliminated early chip leader Roeland Peeks. Their blind-versus-blind battle saw both with ace-high hands, Machado’s kicker dominating Peeks and holding through the runout. Heads-up began with Aido in front and he multiplied the gap across several hands.

Heads-Up: Aido Closes for $2,228,762 and Bracelet #3

Heads-up play between Aido and Machado saw the Spaniard maintain his grip. The final hand was a classic domination: Aido’s holding stayed ahead of Machado’s weaker ace to seal the win. The full final table was broadcast with commentary by Jeff Gross and Alex Foxen, underlining the event’s prominence in the international poker calendar.

“Had the cards not fallen this way, it’s hard to imagine anyone else stringing together this kind of run,” said commentator Alex Foxen during GGPoker’s stream.
