After a special week, in which the GGMillion$ was worth a WSOP Circuit ring and delivered millionaire scores – one of them for the Brazilian Matheus Machado – the traditional US$ 10 thousand buy-in tournament from GGPoker returned to its normal schedule. This Sunday (5), Day 1 unfolded until the formation of the FT, and Lucas Rocha is one of the survivors.
