Brazilian poker professional Kelvin Kerber won the GGPoker $10,000 GGMillion$ event for nearly $500,000. Using the new Streamer Mode, Kerber overcame a heads-up chip deficit against Rodrigo Selouan. The event was commentated by Jeff Gross and Belgian legend Thomas Boivin.

The latest edition of the GGPoker $10,000 GGMillion$ concluded with Brazilian professional Kelvin Kerber capturing the title and a top prize valued at nearly $500,000. This victory is particularly notable as Kerber utilized the new GGPoker Streamer Mode, a feature allowing content creators to collaborate with the platform to broadcast their live gameplay.

Kerber was recently highlighted in the second episode of the Online Poker Millionaires documentary series on the GGPoker channel, which explored his career progression from humble beginnings to the elite tiers of the game.

High Stakes Final Table Action

The final table broadcast featured Jeff Gross in the commentary booth alongside Belgian poker veteran Thomas Boivin.

Boivin, who boasts nearly $17,000,000 in live tournament earnings and a significant reputation in World Series of Poker events, provided technical analysis as the action unfolded. The session was marked by several shifts in momentum, culminating in a heads-up battle between Kerber and Rodrigo Selouan.

Selouan entered the final stage of the tournament seeking his fifth GGMillion$ title. Despite facing a substantial chip deficit during the heads-up phase, Kerber managed to overcome the disadvantage to deny Selouan another victory and secure his first ever GGMillion$ championship.

Commenting on the performance, Boivin noted that Kerber played excellently and maintained composure despite losing hands he was expected to lose before the momentum shifted in his favour.
