Teun Mulder blocks Alejandro Lococo's $ 10,000 GGMillion $ High Roller Championship Dream

In the latest $ 10,000 GGMillion $ High Roller event held online by GGPoker, 243 entries created a total prize pool of $ 2,357,100. After two days of intense poker battles, only Teun Mulder had chips left. He cashed in these chips for the championship title, a prize of $ 476,561, and a $ 10,000 ticket to the GGMillion $ Live Paradise event.

At the end of Day 1 of the star-studded GGMillion$ tournament, only nine players remained in contention for the nearly $500,000 first-place prize. The top 25 players all received prizes, including renowned names such as Mikita Badziakouski, Simon Mattsson, Pavel Plesuv, and final-table bubble boy Barak Wisbrod, all of whom reaped rewards from their five-figure investments.

Mulder entered the final table with the largest chip stack; his 6,053,124 chips equaled 86 big blinds. Mulder led Enrico Camosci (5,380,742) and the popular Alejandro Lococo (4,277,445). At the bottom of the stack was Gaspare Sposato, an Italian player based in Slovenia (1,111,864).

More than an hour later, the first player was eliminated from the final table. Nikita Kalinin, with a chip stack slightly over 9.5 big blinds, went all-in from late position with AK, but unfortunately ran into Camosci, who had pocket aces next to him.

Kalinin's fellow Russian, Ivan Ilichev, was eliminated in eighth place minutes later. Unlike Kalinin, Ilichev pushed his 9.3 big blinds into the pot with a commanding lead—his AQ was ahead of Mulder's A-8, who had opened from the crucial position. However, an 8 on the flop completely turned the tide, and Mulder eliminated Ilichev.

Just past the two-hour mark, Matheus Machado from Brazil won the first six-figure prize of the night. Machado opened all-in from the under-the-gun position with pocket tens, folding all the way to Lococo in the final position, who then re-shoved all-in with AK. Damir Gabdullin then cold-called from the small blind with AK, creating a pot of nearly 5 million chips. This pot was eventually split because an Ace appeared on the flop and another on the turn, giving both Lococo and Gabdullin trips of Aces, sending Machado home in seventh place.

A blind-floor showdown eliminated Sposato. Sebastian Gaehl advanced with K5 spades from the small blind, effectively stacking 7.5 big blinds. Sposato, looking at his 65 clubs, decided to call all-in for the championship, a move that baffled Jeff Gross and Dylan Weisman in the comments section. A Jack-high hand offered no help to Sposato's hand, reducing the final table to five players at GGMillion$.

After Gabdullin exhausted himself in a hand against Camosci, the five players were reduced to four. Gabdullin limped in from the small blind with pocket Jacks, and Camosci checked with 8-7. On the flop of 9-8-8 (two hearts), Gabdullin led out, and Camosci called with his set of eights. Gabdullin checked on the turn, a Q of diamonds, called a small bet, and then checked again on the river, an Ace of a different suit. Camosci went all-in, and after much deliberation, Gabdullin, finding no reason to fold, called. The tournament for the Estonian-based Russian player ended there.

Fourth place, with a prize of $218,504, was won by Camosci in a duel with Mulder. Mulder raised to 3 times the big blind from the small blind with T8 diamonds, and Camosci triple-raised half his stack with AJ diamonds before calling when Mulder went all-in. Camosci seemed poised to become the chip leader, as the winner of this hand would receive a pot of 10 million chips. His chances of winning increased on a 7-high flop, but a T turned Camosci's euphoria into despair. The river 9 was not Camosci's winning hand, and he was eliminated in the $ round with a prize of 10 million chips.

This hand increased Mulder's chip stack to over 16.5 million, almost double the combined stacks of his opponents. Mulder fully utilized his massive stack and the influence of his ICM to further extend his dominance in the three-way play.

Finally, the stalemate had to be broken. Gaehl advanced about 8 big blinds from the button with K-9. Lococo called from the small blind with A-9 in clubs and then hit an A on the flop, leaving Gaehl with virtually no chance. Gaehl had no chance on the turn, and the match went to heads-up play between Mulder (18,258,216) and Argentine star Lococo (7,553,784).

Lococo streamed his final table game live on his channel, but he couldn't win in front of his loyal fans. Lococo fought hard to tie the game and even became the chip leader, but Mulder ultimately prevailed.

The pivotal hand that changed the course of heads-up play occurred on a JTJA board, pushing all the chips to the center of the pot on the turn. Lococo held AK, but Mulder made trips with KJ on the flop. A meaningless river card gave Mulder a 3-to-1 chip lead.

A few hands later, everything settled down. Lococo limped with AT clubs and immediately called Mulder's all-in with a mediocre 5-4 spades. Mulder made a full house on the flop, leaving Lococo needing a string of miracle hands to turn things around; he was powerless to recover on the turn.

Lococo finished as runner-up and won $367,478, while Mulder took home $476,561 and a $10,000 GGMillion $ live Paradise station ticket.
