Brazilian poker player Felipe Boianovsky won his first GGMillion$ title during Season 2026 Episode 21 on GGPoker. Boianovsky overcame a major 4:1 heads-up chip deficit against runner-up 'HeXagon_' to secure the victory after chip leader David Kaufmann finished in third.

The latest edition of GGPoker’s high-stakes staple witnessed a historic milestone as Brazilian poker player Felipe Boianovsky secured his first career GGMillion$ title.

Competing in GGMillion$ Season 2026 Episode 21, Boianovsky overcame a significant 4:1 chip deficit during heads-up play to defeat 'HeXagon_' and claim the championship at his fourth career final table.

The final table action on June 9th, 2026, delivered an unpredictable line-up where several prominent names fell early. David Kaufmann entered the final stretch as both the chip leader and the betting favorite. However, Kaufmann ultimately fell short of the title, bowing out of the tournament in third place.

Following Kaufmann's elimination, 'HeXagon_' initiated a late surge to take a commanding 4:1 chip lead into the heads-up match. Despite the substantial disadvantage, Boianovsky staged multiple comebacks during the final duel, persistently fighting back to overcome the late leader and secure the victory.

The broadcast featured regular host Jeff Gross alongside a special guest, Romanian poker professional Razvan Belea. As a former EPT Paris Main Event winner, Belea utilized his extensive experience in large-field multi-table tournaments to provide valuable insights as the action unfolded.

Following the conclusion of the grueling match, Gross praised the performance of the Brazilian champion. "What a battle. His first title," Gross stated during the broadcast. "A decorated player the Brazilian, tough as nails and gets it done."

The commentators also expressed their appreciation for the overall quality of play throughout the event, noting, "Amazing players, everyone played great I think! It was a really nice show."

With this hard-fought victory, Boianovsky successfully navigated his fourth final table appearance to earn his maiden GGMillion$ title.
