Aleksandr Kropotov won the WSOP $250 Mystery Million event, taking home $631,459 chips and a gold bracelet. A record 47,798 players entered the event, with Max Stenberg leading the chip count in the $5,000 PLO tournament.

The GGPoker lobby revealed that a Russian player named Aleksandr Kropotov has become the latest World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner. Kropotov, using the alias "sasha1317!", dominated the final table of the $250 Mystery Millions, eliminating all but one opponent to win $631,459, a WSOP bracelet, and a 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event Super Pass worth $30,000.

The $250 Mystery Million tournament comprised dozens of Day 1 events, ultimately attracting 47,798 entries and a total prize pool of $10,993,540. As PokerNews reported yesterday, the $1 million jackpot was won by "DrAvacado" on Day 2, when the pool of returning players dwindled from 4,083 to just nine.

After the prize money was factored in, all but one of the nine finalists received a six-figure prize.

Denys Chufarin was the only player to miss out on a six-figure prize. He entered the final table with the shortest stack and became the first player to leave, finishing with $85,282 chips.

Francisco Zufia, a Spanish player residing in Andorra, was eliminated in eighth place with a score of $101,691; Gay Peng Tan from Malaysia was eliminated in seventh place with a score of $132,486.

After winning a mystery bounty of 142,050 TP4T, Eric Bonin was eliminated in sixth place, bringing his total to 306,963 TP4T. Norman Schreck and Mikhail Suy also joined the elimination rounds, leaving only three players to compete for the championship. Schreck and Suy finished with 220,753 and 283,313 TP4T respectively.

The Mystery Millions tournament entered heads-up play after Oliver Bosch was eliminated in third place ($363,048). Heads-up matchup featured Kropotov against Canadian Jessica Moors. Kropotov secured her seventh elimination of the final table, giving Moors a respectable $480,160, while Kropotov secured $631,459 for herself.

Thanks to GGPoker's generosity, Kropotov will now be entering the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, guaranteed with $50 million. The online poker giant will provide a $30,000 Super Pass to the winners of all 33 bracelet events in the 2026 WSOP Online.

Max Stenberg is poised to win his first gold bracelet and $282K gold jewelry.

The $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship attracted 327 players, creating a total prize pool of $1,553,250. Only seven players remain with chips, with Sweden's Max Stenberg leading the pack.

Stenberg will sit at the final table at 7 p.m. BST on September 9th with 3,904,243 chips, equivalent to 78 big blinds. Romania's Narcis Nedelcu (3,578,396) is close behind, and Lautaro Guerra (3,212,777) is in third place.

None of the finalists had particularly short stacks, with Andreas Freund (1,151,144) at the bottom with 23 big blinds.

Each finalist will receive at least $47,020, but the champion will receive a $282,125 and a $30,000 Super Pass, as well as the most important WSOP gold bracelet, so no one wants to take the minimum prize.
