Portugal's Jorge Abreu secured his first GGPoker GGMillion$ title on October 6, 2026, overcoming a 10:1 heads-up chip deficit against Austria's Tim Kramer to win $429,493 on GGPoker.

Abreu completed the comeback in the $10,000 buy-in tournament, denying Kramer the title after the Austrian had controlled much of the final table. Kramer eventually finished runner-up for $331,184, while Andreas Christoforou claimed third place for $255,378.

The victory came during Episode 37 of the 2026 GGMillion$ season and marked Abreu's debut appearance in the event.

Brandon Wilson was the first player eliminated, collecting $53,686 in ninth place. Milos Petakovic followed in eighth for $69,623, while Boianovsky exited seventh for $90,289 despite beginning the final table third in chips.

The field continued to narrow as 'Loyaltyfee!' finished sixth for $117,091 and Ravid Garbi took fifth for $151,489.

With four players remaining, Kramer maintained the lead with 8.40 million chips, followed by Christoforou on 6.46 million and Christoph Vogelsang on 4.93 million. Abreu was the shortest stack with 3.33 million.

Vogelsang subsequently finished fourth for $196,923, before Abreu eliminated Christoforou in third place to set up the heads-up contest against Kramer.

Abreu Recovers From 10:1 Deficit to Defeat Tim Kramer

Kramer began heads-up play holding 12.45 million chips against Abreu's 10.68 million. The Portuguese player briefly moved ahead, but Kramer regained control and eventually extended his advantage to approximately 10:1.

Despite facing a substantial deficit, Abreu recovered through a decisive confrontation that reversed the chip counts, leaving him with approximately 16 million against Kramer's six million.

The momentum shifted entirely in Abreu's favour, and the tournament concluded shortly afterwards when Kramer made the final call against the Portuguese player's winning straight.

Abreu collected $429,493 for the victory, while Kramer earned $331,184 for second place, a difference of $98,309 between the two finishing positions.

Abreu's first GGPoker GGMillion$ appearance ended with a title and the largest payout of the October 6 final table.

His comeback from a 10:1 heads-up disadvantage overturned Kramer's commanding lead and secured the Portuguese player his maiden victory in the $10,000 tournament.
