Quick answer: On Nov. 10, 2026, Artem Osmirko won the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers event on GGPoker for $406,521 and a $10,000 ticket to GGMillion$ Live at WSOP Paradise. PokerNews and GGPoker's own recap both reported that he beat Pedro Padilha heads-up. It is Osmirko's second GGMillion$ title of 2026, after a July win PokerNews listed at $303,531.

A 192-entry final, decided heads-up

PokerNews said the field was 192 entries, the prize pool was $2,010,000, and the final nine were set on Nov. 8 before returning on Nov. 10. GGPoker's official blog also published $406,521 for first and $318,747 for second, matching PokerNews.

The PokerNews final-table payouts, with countries "as shown in the GGPoker lobby," were:

  • 1st: Artem Osmirko (Russia) — $406,521
  • 2nd: Pedro Padilha (Brazil) — $318,747
  • 3rd: Pascal Lefrancois (Canada) — $249,924
  • 4th: Gabriel Tavares (Turkey) — $195,962
  • 5th: Gaspare Sposato (Malta) — $153,650
  • 6th: Rayan "Beriuzy" Chamas (Canada) — $120,475
  • 7th: Andrii Derzhypilskyi (Ukraine) — $94,462
  • 8th: "Valen_tina" (Mexico) — $74,066
  • 9th: Tim Kramer (Austria) — $58,074

Lobby flags are not always a player's nationality. Brazilian PokerNews identified Tavares as Padilha's Samba Poker Team partner, and GGPoker's recap listed Sposato as Italy and Chamas as Lebanon. Those flags are noted here as a conflict, not resolved.

PokerNews said Padilha's second-place finish pushed his GGMillion$ earnings past $2 million, though he is still waiting on a first title in the series. That career series total comes from PokerNews alone.

How the final table broke

PokerNews walked through several of the later eliminations. Osmirko called an 11-big-blind shove from Derzhypilskyi's pocket kings with ace-five of hearts, flopped an ace and a five, and made a full house on the river. Sposato then won a blind-versus-blind pot against Chamas when a river four filled a better two pair. Padilha later cracked Sposato's ace-king with pocket aces after Sposato flopped a king.

Tavares, per PokerNews, was left with almost no chips after bluffing a king-five-eight-queen-five board with nine-seven into Osmirko's trip fives. Padilha then eliminated Lefrancois, who three-bet shoved ace-trey into Padilha's eights and ran into a set.

Heads-up started with Osmirko ahead 15,037,617 to 5,113,383, or about 94 big blinds to 32, a figure both PokerNews and later recaps used. In the final hand, PokerNews reported, Osmirko limped ace-ten of clubs, Padilha raised king-nine of spades, and Osmirko shoved. Padilha called; the board missed him. GGPoker's recap added flop-turn-river detail (queen-jack-six, an ace on the turn, a six on the river) that is consistent with that ending.

GGPoker's headline described the win as "wire to wire" from the overnight chip lead. The Poker Lobby likewise had Osmirko returning as the final-table leader, narrowly ahead of Lefrancois. That is a final-table lead, not a claim that he led the entire event.

What the ticket is for

The $10,000 GGMillion$ Live entry is a seat to the live edition at WSOP Paradise, separate from the $406,521 cash. Osmirko already earned one of those tickets with his July title, according to PokerNews.

High-stakes online final tables still come down to the same no-limit decisions — calling off with the worse hand, or stacking off when ahead. Those spots can be practiced on Superintelligencepoker.com.
