Andy Wilson Wins First Career GGMillion$ Title for $437,338

Andy Wilson finally won his first career GGMillion$ title, eliminating six of the eight players at the final table to win $437,338 of the $2,173,100 prize pool. For topping the 223-entry field, Wilson also earned a $10,000 GGMillion$ Live ticket for the upcoming 2026 World Series of Poker Paradise festival in The Bahamas.

After Viacheslav Buldygin was the final table bubble boy, the players returned for Day 2, with Simon Mattsson coming in as the overwhelming chip leader with 116 big blinds. Wilson was comfortably in third place with 47 big blinds behind Chris Nguyen’s 70 big-blind stack, while the rest of the field had stacks ranging from 20 to 34 big blinds.

A Ridiculous Final Table

Despite what looked like an insurmountable lead at the top, Mattsson, a four-time GGMillion$ champion and a bona fide online poker legend, was somehow the first player eliminated.

After Fabiano Kovalski was down to his last four-and-a-half blinds, he took advantage of a dead money situation and nearly quadrupled up after his pocket queens came back from behind against Nguyen’s pocket kings.

Then, Mattsson lost all his chips virtually to Wilson over the course of two hands. Playing just over 50 big blinds effective, Mattsson opened K♣️Q♥️ from under the gun, and Wilson flatted Q♠️T♠️ in the small blind.

The flop was K♠️4♥️3♦️ and Mattsson c-bet for roughly 40% pot. Wilson made the call. The turn was the J♠️, giving Wilson the open-ended straight flush draw. Mattsson bet for over 80% of the pot, and Wilson called again.

The river was the A♦️, giving Wilson the stone-cold nuts. Mattsson overbet the river, nearly putting Wilson all in. Wilson put the rest of his chips in, and the Swede gave up, giving Wilson a commanding chip lead.

Wilson turned on the aggression and then picked up pocket aces at exactly the right time. He opened from the cutoff, and Mattsson jammed for just over 30 big blinds. Wilson snap-called and held, bringing his stack to 11.5 million chips at blinds of 50,000/100,000, about 50% of the chips in play.

From there, it was all Andy Wilson. With the rest of the table in a severe ICM pickle, Wilson was able to raise or jam virtually every single hand for some time. In the midst of Wilson’s aggression, Jeschka was eliminated when he jammed his final 10 big blinds with A♣️4♣️ into Robovic’s A♠️K♣️, with Robovic covering by just one big blind. The Serbian held and leapt up to second place.

The very next hand, Wilson won a flip with pocket jacks against Joao Vieira’s ace-queen to continue adding to his stack.

Despite the ICM implications, Nguyen was eliminated when his pocket queens collided with Kovalski’s ace-king, with Kovalski turning a king to eliminate the Austrian in sixth place.

Manuel Fernandez was the next Wilson casualty when he picked up pocket nines on the button and ran into Wilson’s pocket jacks in the big blind. Fernandez was out in fifth, while Wilson’s stack ballooned to nearly 16 million.

Buschmann was left short and was down to just five big blinds when he jammed his king-jack offsuit on the button against Wilson’s cutoff open. Despite opening the majority of hands, Wilson had ace-ten and held to send it to three-handed play.

With Kovalski and Robovic virtually tied in chips, they were practically fighting for second place, allowing Wilson to jam roughly every hand.

The final hand was electric, with Kovalski jamming his final six big blinds from the button with pocket aces. Robovic, with just under five big blinds, had pocket queens in the small blind and jammed. Wilson, with over 135 big blinds, called with ten-nine suited, taking a shot at the immediate double elimination.

The flop was KQ2 rainbow, giving Robovic a set. Wilson couldn’t hit his straight, and Kovalski was eliminated on the very next hand.

Heads-up play could have lasted only a few hands, but Robovic, off of 12 big blinds, limp-jammed queen-jack offsuit into Wilson’s dominant king-queen. Robovic flopped a jack to double up.

Robovic doubled up again the very next hand, flopping trips with queen-nine suited against Wilson’s pocket kings and, suddenly, Wilson was only up 2:1.

The Serbian managed to fight all the way back into the lead before Wilson had a two pair vs. two pair confrontation that saw him get back in front.

Then, Wilson got in with king-queen suited against Robovic’s pocket fours for the win, with nearly 80% of the chips in the middle. Wilson flopped a king, but Robovic turned a very sweaty flush draw. Fortunately, the river was a brick, and the Brit could finally breathe a huge sigh of relief.
