Fabiano Kovalski has won his first GGMillion$ title at GGPoker, earning $464,794 after defeating Jon Ander Vallinas heads-up. The $10,000 event drew 237 players and generated a $2,308,900 prize pool, according to PokerNews. The top 25 finishers shared the prize money, while the nine-player final table began with at least $58,099 secured for each finalist.
Kovalski entered the final table behind early leader Laszlo Bujtas but moved up as the field narrowed. He eliminated fellow Brazilian Alisson Piekazewicz with pocket sevens and later knocked out Hannes Jeschka in third place with the same pair. GGPoker's event recap describes this as Kovalski's first victory on his ninth GGMillion$ final-table appearance.
Vallinas began heads-up play with a narrow lead before Kovalski moved ahead. On the deciding hand, Kovalski completed from the button with five-four of diamonds and Vallinas checked king-eight. Vallinas made three of a kind on the turn, but a diamond on the river completed Kovalski's flush. Vallinas moved all-in and Kovalski called to secure the title.
The result gave Vallinas $358,405 for second place and his largest payout across three GGMillion$ final tables. The Spanish report from Poker-Red independently confirms the heads-up result, payouts and final-hand sequence. Kovalski also received a $10,000 ticket and a $10,000 GGMillion$ Live Paradise entry alongside the cash prize.
