After a stellar performance this summer at the 2024 World Series of Poker, Spain’s Sergio Aido has triumphed once again, winning the 2024 WSOP Online GGMillion$ event to claim his second career bracelet and a top prize of $1,935,575. Earlier this year, Aido took down the 2024 WSOP Event #39: $50k High Roller, topping a field of 177 players to secure his first bracelet and a career-high score of $2,026,506.
The 2024 WSOP Online $10,300 GGMillion$ attracted 1,433 entries, generating a massive $14,333,000 prize pool, which was distributed among the top 140 finishers. Poker pros Jeff Gross and Daniel Negreanu provided commentary on the final table and also participated in the event, though neither made it to the final table. Here’s a recap of the action at the 2024 WSOP Online $10,300 GGMillion$ final table:
The 2024 WSOP Online $10,300 GGMillion$ Final Table Recap
The final table began with Serbia’s Jovan Kenjic sitting on top of the chip count with 124 BB, while Sergio Aido was one of the shorter stacks with just 15 BB. Aliaksei Boika was the shortest, holding just 1 BB.
Aliaksei Boika was eventually eliminated in 9th place. He moved all-in on the first hand of the final table with 2h-Kd. Jovan Kenjic (Jh-Jc) and James Hopkins (9d-9h) both called. Hopkins hit a full house on the board, scooping the pot and eliminating Boika, who took home $244,577.
Aido knew he needed to chip up, and he found his opportunity when he got Ac-Ks. He shoved, and after some thought, Kenjic called with Kh-Qh. The board ran out Jd-4d-6d-Kd-10s, doubling up Aido and putting Aleksejs Ponakovs in the danger zone.
Ponakovs’ tournament run ended when he moved all-in with pocket jacks against Aido’s Ac-7c. An ace on the board sealed Ponakovs’ fate, sending him out in 8th place for $315,324. Aido’s momentum continued as he went on to eliminate Jinlong Hu (6th – $408,366), Daniel Petersen (5th – $685,508), and James Hopkins (4th – $888,436), climbing up the chip ladder.
Kenjic knocked out Roman Emelyanov in 3rd place ($1,151,601), setting up a heads-up battle with Aido, who held a 2:1 chip lead over the Serbian player.
The most exciting moment of the final table came during heads-up play. In the third and final hand, Kenjic limp-called with 9s-Jh, while Aido raised with 10h-Ac.
Kenjic called, and the flop came 6s-As-10s, giving Aido two pairs and Kenjic a flush draw. Aido raised, and Kenjic called to see the turn card, Jc. Aido bet again, and Kenjic quickly called to see the river card, 5c. Aido had already made a stronger hand and moved all in. Kenjic snap-called, only to find Aido holding two pairs, which secured the win.
Jovan Kenjic finished as the runner-up, earning a seven-figure payout of $1,492,885. Sergio Aido claimed his second WSOP bracelet along with the top prize of $1,935,575.
