Spanish high-stakes crusher Sergio Aido has won the third WSOP bracelet of his career in an online poker tournament. As in 2024, he topped a star-studded $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers field in the final event of the GGPoker WSOP Online series.
Despite firing a career-high 20 bullets — a total of $200,000 in buy-ins — Aido finished atop the 1,753-entry field to win $2,228,762, the gold bracelet, and a $30,000 WSOP Super Pass for the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.

After the win, Aido told GGPoker’s Steve Enriquez that he got lucky with how the final table played out, as he got three-handed against the players he considered the softest.
“I’m super happy. I was a little nervous for the first 10 minutes, but now that it’s over, all the tiredness has disappeared. Everything went really well at the final table, and I felt very comfortable.
“I had to use several bullets to make it to Day 2. My girlfriend kept telling me to quit, that it wasn’t for me anymore, but I ended up qualifying on the last bullet of the turbo event. I’d never used more than 8 bullets in an online tournament before, and in this one, I used 20.
“I saw that the Brazilian player played passively in a few hands and that he was running out of time banks, so I wanted to face him heads-up. Considering the good opponents at the final table, I was lucky to face softer players in the three-handed play, and I felt optimistic about that.”
How Aido outlasted eight elite rivals
With nine players left on the streamed final table, Aido began the day in second place with 73 big blinds, 99 behind chip leader Roeland Peeks.
Machado’s sets send early exits packing
The first elimination came after only 20 minutes, and it was a surprise: Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, who started the day in a virtual tie for third, went out first. With the blinds at 200,000/400,000, Matheus Machado opened to 880,000 from the lojack with A♥️A♣️.
Astedt, in the cutoff, three-bet to 2,400,000 with Q♥️Q♠️, and Machado four-bet to 4,200,000. Astedt moved all-in for just over 13,000,000, and Machado snapped him off. The board ran out 8♣️A♦️T♦️T♥️9♦️, sending the Swedish legend out in ninth place for $278,847.
Soon after, Alessandro De Michele was down to 7 big blinds and committed his stack from the hijack with A♣️9♠️. Machado woke up with Q♥️Q♠️ in the big blind and, for the second straight all-in, flopped top set to send his opponent to the virtual rail in eighth.
Machado, who had entered the day near the bottom of the standings, claimed a third straight scalp by winning a 32 big blind flip against Johannes Straver. His T♥️T♣️ held against the Dutchman’s A♥️Q♣️, and Machado again flopped a set.
He also scored the next elimination, outracing Oshri Lahmani when his A♣️K♦️ found a miracle king on the river against the Israeli’s J♣️J♠️. Suddenly, Machado was in second place, just ahead of Aido and just behind Peeks.
Nguyen’s revival ends at Aido’s hands
Ole Schemion and Christopher Nguyen, who were far behind the top three, went next. Nguyen eliminated Schemion, whose last nine big blinds went in with A♠️4♥️ against Nguyen’s Q♣️J♠️. Nguyen’s revival was short-lived, however, as Aido knocked him out in fourth.
Aido opened K♥️3♥️ from the button, and Nguyen defended the big blind with K♠️8♠️. The flop of K♦️3♦️2♣️ gave Aido a monster, and Nguyen check-raised into it. The money all went in on the 2♦️ turn, and the Austrian settled for $1,021,994.
With nearly twice as many chips as either opponent, Aido needed about 45 more minutes to win the title. ICM pressure between his two opponents let him build his stack, and he won a massive pot off Machado by turning a flush against the Brazilian’s rivered top pair, moving to 124 big blinds. That left Machado with just 12 big blinds and Peeks in second with 40.
Machado then made a miraculous comeback. He got in with K♥️T♥️ against Aido’s pocket aces and ran out a straight on a board of 6♣️9♥️4♦️J♠️Q♦️.
He soon got a heads-up with Aido after Peeks, who began the day as the chip leader, limp-jammed his 22 big blinds with A♥️5♦️ from the small blind and ran into Machado’s A♦️T♥️. Peeks took home $1,325,271 in third.
Aido closes out Machado in 17 minutes
Aido held an 8-to-5 chip lead heads-up, with the average stack above 70 big blinds, and needed only 17 minutes to close it out. After the two traded blows for about 10 minutes, Aido flopped a set of deuces against Machado’s top pair to take an overwhelming lead.
With Aido nearly 4-to-1 ahead and Machado down to his last 26 big blinds, Machado limp-jammed A♥️3♦️ into Aido’s A♦️7♦️. The flop of 5♠️J♣️2♦️ put the Spaniard firmly in front, and the 7♦️ turn left Machado needing a non-diamond 3 or 4. The T♥️ river clinched Aido’s third bracelet and second $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers bracelet in three years.
