Badziakouski and Vousden dominate 2026 GGMillion$ Main Event with record wins
The 2026 GGMillion$ series on GGPoker has delivered big wins and notable shifts in player numbers. Mikita Badziakouski claimed his first title in the Main Event after multiple near-misses, while Samuel Vousden secured back-to-back victories in early February. Meanwhile, participation has dipped compared to last year's figures.
Mikita Badziakouski took down the GGMillion$ Main Event on January 27, earning $1,755,815. This win marked his first title in the series after five previous final table appearances. Pedro Neves finished third in the same event, pocketing $1,045,529.
Nikita Kuznetsov entered the final table as the chip leader but settled for second place, collecting $1,354,732. Two weeks later, Samuel Vousden won the GGMillion$ Main Event again, making it two consecutive victories in early February.
Pedro Neves struck once more on February 17, winning the GGMillion$ High Rollers for $480,386. Outside GGPoker, Ognyan 'cocojamb0' Dimov secured $138,495 in the PokerStars New Year Series after a $109 buy-in.
As of March 9, around 1,250 players have competed across three GGMillion$ Main Event tournaments in 2026. The average field size now stands at 417 players, down 15% from 2025's average of 490. Organisers attribute the decline to economic pressures and rival tournament series.
The 2026 GGMillion$ series has seen high-profile wins and a slight drop in participation. Badziakouski's long-awaited victory and Vousden's double triumph stand out among the results. With fewer players than last year, the series reflects broader changes in online poker engagement.
