With a daring comeback and masterful execution, Spain’s Sergio Aido conquers the 2026 WSOP Online $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers—his second win in this event and a third career WSOP bracelet.
The final day of the 2026 WSOP Online at GGPoker offered a masterclass in high-stakes dominance as Spain’s Sergio Aido emerged victorious in the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers event, overcoming a massive field to claim his third World Series of Poker bracelet and a staggering $2,228,762 payday.
Fielded Depth Meets Familiar Grit
The event drew an extraordinary 1,754 entrants, generating a prize pool north of $17 million—far above the guarantee—a testament to the tournament’s growing appeal and the pull of the WSOP mantle online, according to Pokerology and corroborated by CardPlayer.
Aido’s triumph marked his second win in this particular online High Roller—he previously captured the same title in 2024—making this repeat a rare feat in high-variance, large-field tournaments.
Final Table Storylines: Comebacks and Crushers
At the start of the streamed final table, Roeland Peeks held commanding chip lead with approximately 172 big blinds—well ahead of Aido, who sat in second chip position far behind, as recounted by PokerNews. The action was relentless: Matheus Machado powered through with five eliminations, picking off Niklas Astedt, Alessandro De Michele, Johannes Straver, Oshri Lahmani, and Roeland Peeks to reach heads-up.
Ale Schemion, a two-time bracelet winner himself, bowed out in fifth, while Christopher Nguyen clipped him with queen-jack to advance into the money-heavy top four. The final four stood guaranteed seven-figure payouts, and Aido soon outlasted Nguyen in fourth.
Heads-Up: A Duel of Wits and Will
Matheus Machado came out swinging in heads-up play but was unable to overcome Aido’s lead. A key hand turned on a flopped set of deuces from Aido, overcoming Machado’s paired jacks. In the final hand, Machado called all-in with ace-three against Aido’s ace-seven of diamonds; the board brought no help for Machado, sealing Aido’s win.
In all, Aido pocketed $2,228,762 and proudly lifted his third WSOP bracelet, as reported by both Poker News Daily and others.
Putting the Win in Perspective
This victory cements Aido’s place as one of Spain’s most decorated players—he trails only Adrian Mateos in bracelet count and career earnings. CardPlayer notes that this win pushed Aido’s total WSOP gold to three and edged his career earnings particularly high in seven-figure victories.
Adding to the haul, the title also came with a $30,000 Super Pass to the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event in the Bahamas this December—a golden ticket to a $50 million-guaranteed live festival at Baha Mar, as Pokerology details.
What’s at Stake Now
- Aido’s consistency in elite online fields from 2024 to 2026 suggests a rare blend of skill and adaptability that few can match.
- With the Super Pass in hand, Aido is set to shift his focus back to live arenas, where his third bracelet could translate into larger aspirations on the global stage.
- The WSOP Online series at GGPoker wrapped with this event, but its success only emphasizes the growing importance of online series in the overall WSOP ecosystem—a trend worth watching.
In all, the 2026 GGMillion$ High Roller didn’t just end on a historic note—it rewrote a chapter in modern poker lore. For Aido, his third bracelet isn’t just metal—it’s mastery.
