The most expensive tournament of this year's WSOPE was the €25k GGMillion€, which attracted a fan base among players. They contributed to a total of 38 entries, meaning that players were competing for 6 paid positions in the final.
American pro and WSOP Player of the Year 2025, Shaun Deeb, entered this tournament on his third bullet. He quickly burned through two entries, but the third one hit the mark as he battled his way to the final table. There, he faced off against Zdenek Zizka, the same Czech pro who defeated him in a heads-up $1k event in Las Vegas during the summer.
This time, Deeb got his revenge. After winning a flip with his AK against a pair of 66, the Czech representative had to leave the tournament in third place (€142,000). In heads-up against Brazilian Iago Savino, Deeb entered with a clear plan and swiftly took control of the game. In the final hand of the tournament, Deeb went all-in with K d T d, which Savino called with J c 9 s. Deeb hit two pairs on the board, confirming the title along with €329,000 and his eighth bracelet.

From One Blind to a Bracelet
The eleventh bracelet event of WSOPE 2025 was the €777 Lucky 7's NLH event, which found many enthusiasts among players. They contributed to 553 entries, and yesterday, those who made it through fought for financial rewards and the coveted bracelet. In the end, it was claimed by Italy's Matteo Intiso, who crafted a unique story.
During Day 2, the Italian found himself at rock bottom with only one blind, but a series of double-ups, a cool head, and a bit of luck led him to victory, earning €82,350 and the bracelet. "Perhaps it hasn't fully sunk in yet... but finishing on top is the best feeling," said the freshly crowned champion, who had just finished 13th in the 3k 6-Max event the day before.
