Aido Wins WSOP Online High Roller for

Aido Adds a Third Bracelet in a Record-Style Field

Sergio Aido has won the 2026 WSOP Online $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers on GGPoker, taking the title and a first-place prize of $2,228,762. The result, tied to a September 30, 2026 conclusion, gives Aido his third World Series of Poker bracelet and adds another major online score to a resume that already includes deep runs in both live and digital high-stakes events.

The event drew 1,753 entries, a field size that reflects the continued appetite for high buy-in online tournaments during the WSOP Online series. With a $10,000 buy-in, the GGMillion$ High Rollers sits at the upper end of the online schedule, attracting a mix of full-time online professionals, live tournament regulars and satellite qualifiers. The prize pool distributed across the final table reflected that depth, with the nine players who reached the last table each guaranteed a minimum payout of $278,847.

Final Table Payouts

The final table played out with a steady progression of eliminations, each worth a six-figure sum:

• Ninth place: Niklas Astedt, $278,847
• Eighth place: Alessandro De Michele, $361,528
• Seventh place: Johannes Straver, $468,752
• Sixth place: Oshri Lahmani, $607,805
• Fifth place: Ole Schemion, $788,136
• Fourth place: Christopher Nguyen, $1,021,994
• Third place: Roeland Peeks, $1,325,271
• Runner-up: Matheus Machado, $1,718,571
• Winner: Sergio Aido, $2,228,762

Astedt was the first to depart once the final table convened, collecting the floor payout. De Michele and Straver followed, with Straver's seventh-place finish pushing the payouts past the $450,000 mark. Lahmani exited in sixth, and Schemion's fifth-place result moved the remaining players into seven-figure territory. Nguyen was the first to cross that threshold in fourth, while Peeks fell in third for $1,325,271.

That left Aido and Machado to contest heads-up play. Machado ultimately finished as runner-up, earning $1,718,571, while Aido secured the title and the top prize. Heads-up play in a high-roller online event often becomes a study in ICM pressure, with shallow effective stacks and rising blinds forcing frequent all-in confrontations. The difference between first and second place in this event was more than $500,000, a gap that shapes every decision once the field is reduced to two.

Broadcast and Context

The final table was streamed live on GGPoker's YouTube channel, with Alex Foxen and Jeff Gross providing commentary throughout the broadcast. Both are well known in the poker community, and their presence on the call gave viewers a professional perspective on the high-stakes decisions unfolding at the final table.

For Aido, the win reinforces his standing as one of the more consistent performers in high buy-in tournaments. A third WSOP bracelet places him among a select group of players with multiple titles across the WSOP's live and online offerings. The WSOP Online series has become a fixture on the poker calendar, giving players who may not travel to the live World Series an opportunity to compete for bracelets from home.

The $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers is part of that series and typically features a fast structure relative to live high rollers, with online fields playing down to a winner in a single session or across a compressed schedule. That format rewards players who are comfortable with rapid blind increases, aggressive three-betting and short-handed play.

What the Result Means

Aido's victory is the headline result, but the final table itself illustrates the modern high-roller ecosystem. The field included established online crushers and live tournament names, and the payout structure rewarded survival with escalating sums at every elimination. For players studying tournament strategy, the final table offers a useful case study in how pay jumps influence decision-making, particularly in the later stages when ICM considerations become central.

With the bracelet secured and the $2,228,762 first prize banked, Aido adds another line to a career that continues to trend upward in poker's most demanding formats.
