With a $150 buy-in, the tournament attracted 59,480 entries across seven starting flights, but it wasn't enough to cover the guarantee—leaving the operator to plug a $1,791,760 shortfall. This turned the GGMasters anniversary into a treasure hunt for value-hunters worldwide: the same buy-in, but with a much sweeter prize.
Final Table Under the Brazilian Flag
The day when the final nine took their seats was centered around one question: who will stop Brazil? The standings indicated it was more an attempt to challenge dominance rather than overthrow the order entirely. Four players among the top 9 were flying the Brazilian flag, and this remarkable dominance was evident at the tournament's conclusion—all four made it into the top 5!
The best non-Brazilian player was Norwegian “modalrealism,” who secured a solid run and took home $465,597 for his 4th place finish. Once he was eliminated, the story concluded almost cinematically with three Brazilian players remaining.
An agreement in the heads-up reshuffled the payouts: while the official winner is Ramon Kropmanns, the largest prize went to his opponent Guilherme Ribeiro (nicknamed “Au!Au!Au!In!”). Kropmanns earned $956,633, Ribeiro took $980,021, and Vanair Skrobac (“CheeDDou”) completed the Brazilian trifecta with $620,875.
