The final table of the GGPoker $10,300 Super MILLION$ is always a star-studded affair, as you would expect from such a prestigious high-stakes tournament. This week’s final table is the home to no less than five players who have previously been crowned the Super MILLION$ champion, including the chip leader when play resumes, a certain Benjamin Rolle.
Only nine of the 176 starters remain in contention for what is a $357,739 score. Each of the returning finalists is guaranteed no less than $51,105 for their efforts up to this stage. Every one of those remaining players has what it takes to come out on top and clinch the lion’s share of the $1,760,000 prize pool.

Rolle is the man to catch going into the Super MILLION$ final table, which shuffles up and deals at 7:00 p.m. BST on September 20. Rolle won this tournament 18 months ago, and he walked away with $424,580 despite sitting down at the final table eighth in chips. The popular and talented grinder and coach finds himself at the opposite end of the chip counts at his latest final table, and is very much in control when play resumes. Rolle takes his seat at the final table with 3,949,923 chips, one big blind shy of a 100 big blind stack.
Although Rolle holds the chip lead right now, there are some incredible poker tournament players in the chasing pack that will make life difficult for the chip leader. Brazil’s Pablo Silva is one such player. Silva triumphed in this event almost exactly two months ago, defeating Nick Maimone heads-up to claim the $260,765 top prize for himself. Silva has an arsenal of 3,398,441 chips (85 big blinds) when the cards are back in the air, giving him a realistic shot at his second Super MILLION$ title.
Third place at the restart belongs to another former Super MILLION$ winner in Thomas Muehloecker and his 3,368,676 (84 big blind) stack. Muehloecker is a regular at this high-stakes event’s final table. Indeed, the popular star sits down at his 13th such finale; only six other GGPoker players have featured at more of these final tables. Muehlocker bagged the Super MILLION$ title in December 2021, some may say he is long overdue a second win.

Ole Schemion is one of two finalists this week that have multiple Super MILLION$ wins under their belts. Schemion ranks fifth in terms of winnings from his event, having amassed $3,887,229 from the 73 events he has competed in. Only Artur Martirosian, Niklas Astedt, Joakim Andersson, and Michael Addamo have reeled in more Super MILLION$ prize money that Schemion. The second of Schemion’s victories in this event came in May 2022 when the Super MILLION$ was part of the GG Online Championships. Victory that day came with a cool $1,447,417. Schemion returns to the action in the middle of the pack with 1,816,978 chips, the equivalent of 45 big blinds.
Fifth place currently belongs to Dutchman Kevin Paque, a player who is not a regular in this event. Paque won the 2019 Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam, whetting his appetite for tournament poker. You may recall Paque excelled in the Triton Poker Series Madrid festival, cashing in three events for more than €1.5 million before finishing third in the €100,000 Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona for an additional €913,730. The Dutchman is armed with 1,585,727 chips (40 big blinds), and could be a dark horse at this final table.
Neutrals will be hoping this is the week that Mark Radoja wins the Super MILLION$ for the first time. The Mexico-based Canadian has navigated his way to this final table 11 times before tonight but the win remains elusive. Radoja has some work ahead of him, not least because his 1,014,194 stack is only worth 25 big blinds. Do not write off his chances, because Radoja knows his way around a poker table.
Just below Radoja is the Mexico-based Lithuanian grinder Deividas “PDC Mayor” Daubaris and his 970,665 stack (24 big blinds). Daubaris has only played in 11 Super MILLION$ before tonight’s final table, although one of those entries resulted in a place under the watchful eyes of the GGPoker YouTube and Twitch streamers.
The two shortest stacks this week below to Natural8 ambassador Pete Chen and the Swedish legend that is Niklas Astedt. Chen returns to the action with 905,948 chips (23 big blinds), while Astedt’s quest to win a record sixth Super MILLION$ initially looks somewhat hampered by the fact his 589,448 stack is the equivalent of 15 big blinds. Both players are more than capable of turning around their fortunes and mounting a charge up the payouts. Should Astedt finish fifth or better, he becomes number one in the Super MILLION$ all time money list.
