Thus, the result reinforces Jeschka’s excellent trajectory in the GGMillion$. A large part of the professional’s earnings on the platform came precisely from this tournament. With this, he increased his numbers of final tables, ITMs, and titles in the competition.
In this way, the final brought together big names from the circuit. In the heads-up, Jeschka faced Juan Dominguez, one of the most experienced players in GGMillion$ history. However, the Spaniard could not claim his fifth title and took home US$ 318,747 for second place.
Additionally, the champion had to overcome a very qualified final table. Players like Viacheslav Balaev, Mikita Badziakouski, Anatoliy Zlotnikov, and Viacheslav Buldygin also fought for the trophy but were eliminated before the final showdown.

Jeschka closes the tournament with a big call in the heads-up
The first player eliminated from the final table was Andrii Derzhypilskyi, who went all-in with A-K and ran into K-K held by Anatoliy Zlotnikov. Subsequently, Paulius Vaitiekunas, Marco Perez, Viacheslav Buldygin, Mikita Badziakouski, and Zlotnikov left the tournament, setting the stage for the decisive confrontation.
With the elimination of Viacheslav Balaev in third place, Jeschka started the heads-up with more than twice the chip count of Dominguez. Moreover, the duel lasted less than ten hands, reflecting the advantage built by the Austrian throughout the final table.
Finally, Dominguez attempted a big bluff on the decisive hand by pushing nearly twice the pot size on the river. However, Jeschka found the call with Q-10 and secured the second title of his career in the GGMillion$. Besides the US$ 406,521, the champion also earned a US$ 10,000 package for the GGMillion$ at WSOP Paradise 2026.
