Brazilian poker player Alisson Piekazewicz won his first career GGMillion$ title during Season 2026 Episode 25 on GGPoker. Entering as chip leader, Piekazewicz overcame setbacks and a late bluff from Sven Andersson to claim the $280,345 first-place prize.

The high-stakes action of the GGMillion$ made a spectacular return to GGPoker after a brief one-week hiatus due to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event festivities in Las Vegas.

The latest edition, marking Season 2026 Episode 25 of the weekly $10,000 buy-in tournament, awarded a substantial top prize of $280,345 to the eventual champion.

Familiar poker personality Jeff Gross returned to the commentary booth following his own recent adventures in Las Vegas.

Joining Gross on communications duties for this episode was special guest commentator Mike Wasserman, who provided expert analysis as the final table unfolded.

Brazilian poker player Alisson Piekazewicz entered the final table holding the status of chip leader. While starting the final phase with the largest stack often provides an advantage, securing the victory proved to be a significant challenge.

Piekazewicz lost plenty of ground during the course of play, demonstrating that entering with the lead is far from a guarantee of victory in the competitive GGMillion$ format.

Rather than relying on massive mistakes from his opponents, Piekazewicz had to continuously attack and maintain a high level of aggression to overcome several setbacks throughout the session.

This appearance marked the eighth time Piekazewicz had successfully navigated his way to a GGMillion$ final table. After 65 total tries in the tournament format, the Brazilian finally achieved his highly anticipated breakthrough.

A critical hand involving Sven Andersson shifted the momentum decisively in favor of the Brazilian. Andersson launched a late bluff, executing big bets that carried all the way to the river street.

The Swedish player committed chips with just jack-high, running directly into a set of queens held by Piekazewicz.

On the river, Piekazewicz responded by moving all-in. This river shove effectively denied the Swedish competitor a chance to see the winning hand.

Not long after this massive confrontation, the Brazilian closed out the tournament to officially secure his first career GGPoker GGMillion$ title. Piekazewicz claimed the first-place prize of $280,345, ending his long pursuit of the championship trophy in style.
