Renowned poker players often compete in tournaments with high stakes. The GG Online Championship (GGOC) festival is a high-stakes poker event that GGPoker recently held. Several bettors had six-figure scores last weekend from different GGOC events, such as Niklas Astedt, an online poker pro.
Astedt was among the 142 entries who spent $10,300 to get an opportunity to be the Sunday Million High Rollers tournament's champion. The top 20 finalists shared a $1,500,000 prize pool, and Mikita Badziakouski popped the prize bubble after he busted in the 21st position.
His elimination ensured that the remaining players got a minimum of $20,082 for their commitment, and it gradually rose to $34,291 when the final table of nine players was set. "yesnogo" and Aram Oganyan were the first finalists to leave the table as they won $45,728 and $34,291 respectively.
Matas "NoWeyyy" Cikinas and Adrian Mateos were eliminated after "yesnogo." Cikinas won $60,979, and Mateos went home with $81,318, which was the last final five-figure score in the championship.
Artisom Prostak left the event in fifth place with $108,439, while Paulo "Agorist '' Brombim got eliminated in fourth place and went home with $144,606.
Joao Vieira was busted in third place and got $192,835. He left Astedt in a heads-up battle against Sebastian Trisch. Spectators keenly followed the action in case the two remaining finalists decided to strike a deal as the prize money was over $85,000.
Astedt isn't fond of making deals on heads-up action as he has won many tournaments in the past. The battle earned him $342,915 after he beat Trisch, who went home with $257,150.
