Mikita Badziakouski at the final table of a major high roller poker tournament

Mikita Badziakouski has  finally captured his first GGMillion$ Main Event title. The GGPoker $10,300 GGMillion$ Main Event drew 1,325 entries and built a huge $12,852,500 prize pool, making it one of the biggest online tournament guarantees this year.

The final table  was stacked with big names, including Adrián Mateos, Pedro Neves, Nikita Kuznetsov, and Chris Puetz.

GGMillion$ Main Event Final Table

Badziakouski didn’t start as chip leader, but once the final nine went live, he quickly began exerting pressure. By the time heads-up play began against Nikita Kuznetsov, he had built a big lead that he never looked like letting go of.

The decisive moment came in a classic spot: Badziakouski limped on the SB with A♣10♣.  Kuznetsov bet a third of this stack with K♥J♣. Badziakouski re-raised Kuznetsov all-in, and for a moment it looked like with a K on the flop Kuznetsov might be back in contention. But with a 10 on the turn and a Barry Greenstein (A) on the river, Badziakouski locked up his first big score of the year, and it isn’t even February yet.

Final hand of the GGMillion online poker tournament

Badziakouski took home $1,755,815 for first place, with Kuznetsov earning $1,354,732 as runner-up. Portuguese grinder Pedro Neves added another career milestone by finishing third for over $1 million, his largest online cash to date.

For a player of Badziakouski’s calibre, success in high rollers isn’t new, but it must feel like his 2026 is off to a healthy start. He’s one of the most respected tournament professionals worldwide, with massive scores in both live tournaments, like his huge Triton scores, and online.

It’s also worth noting how deep this field went. With over 1,300 entries and multiple players guaranteed seven-figure scores, the GGMillion$ continues to be one of the most competitive online tournaments in online poker.
