Hannes Jeschka prevented Juan Dominguez from winning his fifth GMillion $ championship. He defeated 199 opponents in the 10,000 GGMillion tournament to win $406,521 in prize money and a WSOP Paradise package, preventing Juan Dominguez from winning his fifth title.

 He continued his excellent form in the tournament, winning his second title. Jeschka previously had six cash wins, including two final table appearances and one victory. In the latest GGMillion $ event, he defeated 199 opponents to take home $406,521 from the total prize pool of 2,000,000, adding another impressive achievement to his stats.

More than half of Jeschka's prize money from GGPoker comes from the GGMillion$ tournament. He worked hard for this latest victory, having to face several strong players, including heads-up opponent Juan Dominguez.

Dominguez is a regular at this high-stakes event. He has participated in nearly 250 such tournaments, cashing in 76 times, reaching the final table 37 times, and winning 4 titles. His pursuit of a fifth title will have to wait until next week.

Andrii Derzhypilskyi entered the final table with the shortest chip stack and was the first to be eliminated. He went all-in with AK in his last 20 big blinds, only to run into Anatoliy Zlotnikov's pocket kings.

Eighth place went to Paulius Vaitiekunas. He lost more than half his chips with AJ against Viacheslav Buldygin's pocket 10s without seeing the flop, and then pushed his last 6.5 big blinds into center with A-9, losing to Mikita Badziakouski's overwhelming AQ.

Argentina's Marco Perez was the next to be eliminated. Perez had shrunk to less than three big blinds after going all-in with J-10. Jeschka isolated with a 3-bet, and the flop came AK. A King on the flop was enough to eliminate one player.

The tournament's first six-figure prize went into Buldygin's GGPoker account after he was eliminated in sixth place. Buldygin 3-bet all-in from the big blind with J-10 spades after Jeschka min-raised from the button. Jeschka called, and the flop came AQ spades. The ace on the flop ultimately eliminated Buldygin.

When the top five became the top four, the dangerous Badziakouski was unfortunately eliminated. Dominguez went all-in with A-7 from the button, and Badziakouski called from the big blind with his last six big blinds, A-3, after being pressured. Dominguez's 7-kick came in handy, and Badziakouski ended the game.

The four-player battle lasted only five minutes before Zlotnikov was eliminated in fourth place. He had previously eliminated Andrii Derzhupilskyi in ninth place with pocket kings, and now, with pocket kings again, he min-raised from under the gun. Dominguez 3-bet all-in from the big blind with A-4 diamonds, and Zlotnikov called with 15 big blinds. Zlotnikov maintained his lead with pocket kings until a 2 appeared on the river, giving Dominguez a straight.

In the heads-up match of GGMillion$, Viacheslav Balaev called Jeschka's final 10 big blinds with K-8 after Jeschka went all-in with 9-5 hearts from the small blind. Lady Luck smiled on Jeschka, as the five community cards gave the chip leader 9 and 5, preventing Balaev from drawing a Q to make a straight.

This hand gave Jeschka a chip lead of more than 2:1 over Dominguez, and the heads-up match lasted for less than 10 hands.

The final hand saw a 3-bet pre-flop, with Dominguez leading with a bet of one-third of the pot on a Q-8-3 flop (two spades). Jeschka raised Dominguez's continuation bet and was called. Both players checked on the turn 9, and the river was a 4 of spades. Dominguez, holding A-7 (including the Ace of spades), overbet all-in with more than twice the pot. Jeschka paused for about 30 seconds before calling with Q-10 (including the 10 of spades).

Jeschka became a two-time GGMillion $ champion, winning 406,521 in prize money and a $ 10,000 package ticket to the 2026 WSOP Paradise live GGMillion $ event, while Dominguez finished second and won 318,747 in prize money.
