F5 Poker. Everything Poker. Always Refreshing.

Three Run Up Main Events are set to begin on Aug. 16.

In a recap on its site, ACR Poker said the Sunday lineup starts at 11:05 a.m. ET and includes a $1,050 Main Event with $750,000 guaranteed, a $215 Main Event with $400,000 guaranteed, and a $33 Main Event with $200,000 guaranteed. Day 2 follows on Aug. 17 for all three tournaments.

The August calendar is also led by the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms, which begin on Aug. 13. The No-Limit Hold’em version carries a $12 million guarantee and a $500,000 top bounty, while the Pot-Limit Omaha version guarantees $3 million with a $250,000 top bounty.

Both Venoms have a $2,650 buy-in, a $5,000 minimum Mystery Bounty, and eight Day 1 flights. Every player who reaches Day 2 is in the money.

Venom Fever is adding more than 1,500 guaranteed seats into those two Venom events. The qualification routes include $0.01 Spin to Get In games, $0.80 Survivor Flips to Venom Madness, Direct Satellites, and the Venom Vault.

The site also pointed to two Beast satellites that awarded 20 Moneymaker Poker Tour Aruba packages worth $5,000 each. July’s recap included the July 28 Moneymaker Bubble Effect, a $0.10 event with a $10,000 guarantee and a $2,650 Venom seat for the player busted on the money bubble, along with the Run Up Series launch on July 12, the $2.5 million guaranteed 25th Anniversary Tournament, and a sponsorship announcement tied to High Times’ Kicking Back docuseries.

Hannes Jeschka won the latest $10,000 GGMillion$ on GGPoker, beating a field of 199 opponents for $406,521 and a $10,000 package to the 2026 WSOP Paradise live GGMillion$ event.

PokerNews reported that the result made Jeschka a two-time GGMillion$ champion. Juan Dominguez was the last player in his way.

Dominguez finished second for $318,747, but his run at a fifth GGMillion$ title will have to wait. The report described him as one of the event’s regulars, with almost 250 appearances, 76 cashes, 37 final tables and four wins.

Jeschka reached heads-up after Viacheslav Balaev bowed out in third. Balaev called off his last 10 big blinds with king-eight after Jeschka shoved from the small blind holding nine-five of hearts, and Jeschka’s hand held.

Four-handed play did not last long. It took just five minutes before Anatoliy Zlotnikov went out in fourth, after Dominguez three-bet all-in with ace-four of diamonds and got called by pocket kings, only for a deuce on the river to make Dominguez a straight.

Dominguez had also sent Mikita Badziakouski out before that. Badziakouski shoved from the big blind with ace-three and ran into Dominguez’s button shove with ace-seven, and the seven kicker played.

Viacheslav Buldygin exited in sixth earlier in the final. He three-bet jammed with jack-ten of spades after Jeschka min-raised on the button with ace-queen of spades, and an ace on the flop ended the hand.

The final duel ended quickly once Jeschka built a more than two-to-one chip lead. Heads-up lasted fewer than 10 hands, and the last pot went to Jeschka after he paused for about 30 seconds and called Dominguez’s river shove on a queen-eight-three board that finished with the four of spades.

More than half of Jeschka’s GGPoker winnings now come from GGMillion$.

Pokerface Ash is back on the online poker streets, and a Pokerfuse Rail item says he is now a tout for CoinPoker.

In a separate Rail post, Pokerfuse also noted that Pokerface Ash had reached 50,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Lucas Jumalon and Lauri Saaskilahti were the last two players standing in the 2026 WSOP Main Event after 10 days and a field of 9,208 entries, with Jumalon holding a 328 million-to-225 million chip lead and the $10 million top prize still in play.

Cards were due in the air at 6 p.m. local time, with ESPN set to pick up the live stream at 10:30 p.m. ET until a winner was crowned. The final table day opened with Draymond Green handling the shuffle-up-and-deal announcement inside Horseshoe Las Vegas, and Jumalon kept the lead he had held since the start of the final table.

Jumalon also handled two of the key knockouts on the way down to heads-up play. He sent Jamie Shaevel out in seventh and Rami Hammoud out in sixth, and Michael Gagliano later fell in fourth for $2.75 million after a king-queen versus king-jack hand went badly for him on the turn.

Saaskilahti took a different route to the finish. He started the day among the top three stacks, slid down the leaderboard, then later made the call that eliminated Greg Mueller in third place, which locked up the final duel against Jumalon.

The two had even told each other at the end of Day 5 that they would be the final two standing, and that prediction came true. By the time play ended, Saaskilahti had momentum, but Jumalon still had the edge going into heads-up.

The winner was set to bank an extra $4 million on top of the $6 million already guaranteed to both players, along with the bracelet and the Main Event title. The WSOP decided to give a bracelet to winners after the first event in 1970 to set the series apart.

There is also some heads-up history behind the matchup. PokerNews noted that this is only the third time the Main Event final day has started heads-up, and since 2001 the player leading at the start of heads-up has lost five times. This year, Jumalon’s stack represented 59.3% of the chips, below the historical average chip-leader share of 64.1%.

If Saaskilahti won, he would become the first player from Finland to win the Main Event bracelet. Paul Beitelspacher also said Jumalon would become the second-youngest Main Event bracelet winner at 22 if he finished it off.

CoinPoker has launched the Global Online Poker Championship, a six-week online festival with $50 million guaranteed that runs from Aug. 23 through Sept. 28. The event is built around three schedules, three buy-in tiers, and team medals for players across Europe, Latin America and Asia.

The regional setup is meant to let players compete during local peak hours. Each schedule is time-zone specific, so the same festival can run at more convenient times for different parts of the world.

Players will also compete behind GOPC Teams and chase Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. That gives the series a regional team layer on top of the usual online tournament grind.

PokerStrategy reported that the complete tournament schedule has not yet been released, although the first confirmed details are already out. It said the early information points to CoinPoker’s most ambitious global series yet.

The CoinPoker tournament page says more details and the full schedule are still to come. CoinPoker also offers direct satellites every day with buy-ins from $5.50 to $44, plus Step 3 and Step 4 freerolls that can feed into those satellite tickets.

CoinPoker also said its Sunday CoinMillion will become a permanent monthly event beginning on Aug. 9. That $215 no-limit hold’em tournament will carry a $1 million guarantee on the first Sunday of every month.
