The biggest online poker wins of 2026 are already stacking up, and we’re only two months in. Badziakouski took down $1.75 million in January. Pedro Neves scored twice on GGPoker in under a month. Samuel Vousden won the same tournament back-to-back. Here’s the full breakdown.

Mikita Badziakouski Wins $1,755,815 in January

Mikita Badziakouski won the GGMillion$ Main Event on January 27 for $1,755,815, topping a 1,325-entry field. It was his first GGMillion$ title after five previous final table appearances in the event. He’d been close before. This time he got there.

He was behind heads-up against Nikita Kuznetsov, needing runner-runner to survive. He got a ten on the turn and an ace on the river. Kuznetsov had led for most of the tournament and earned $1,354,732 as runner-up. Badziakouski now has over $2.8 million from GGMillion$ events alone and sits fourth on the all-time live money list with $66.4 million in recorded earnings.

Pedro Neves Scores Twice in Under a Month

Portuguese grinder Pedro Neves has had a strong start to 2026. He finished third in the January 27 GGMillion$ Main Event for $1,045,529, then came back and won the GGMillion$ High Rollers on February 17 for $480,386. Two huge scores on the same platform in less than three weeks.

The February win was his second GGMillion$ High Rollers title. He beat 254 players in the $5,250 buy-in event. Neves keeps showing up at the business end of the biggest GGPoker tournaments, and at this point that’s not a coincidence.

Samuel Vousden Wins the Same Tournament Twice

Finland’s Samuel Vousden did something that almost never happens. He won the GGMillion$ Main Event two weeks in a row in early February, taking down back-to-back titles in the $10,300 buy-in event against fields of over 1,000 players each time.

Consecutive wins at this level is nearly unheard of. Vousden was dominant throughout both runs. Anyone who follows online high roller results will be hearing his name a lot more going forward.

Nikita Kuznetsov: Best Runner-Up of 2026

Runner-up results don’t always get the credit they deserve. Nikita Kuznetsov led the GGMillion$ Main Event going into the final table, fought all the way to heads-up, and still took home $1,354,732. He played a near-perfect tournament. Then Badziakouski hit runner-runner to beat him. That’s tournament poker. You can play a near-perfect game and still lose to a two-outer on the river.

Ognyan Dimov Turns $109 into $138,495

Not every big score needs a massive buy-in. Bulgaria’s Ognyan “cocojamb0” Dimov won $138,495 from a $109 entry during the PokerStars New Year Series in January. That’s the kind of return on investment that keeps recreational players buying into satellites every week.

2026 Is Already Delivering Big Online Poker Wins

The first two months of 2026 have been defined by GGPoker. The GGMillion$ Main Event produced two of the top three online scores of the year, and Pedro Neves appeared in three major final tables across January and February alone. The $10,300 buy-in event is consistently drawing fields above 1,000 players, putting prize pools well north of $10 million every week. The year is just getting started.
