Artur Martirosian captured a record 13th GGMillion$ title on May 5th, 2026, earning $486,816. The Russian professional defeated Tamas Adamszki heads-up during the GG World Festival. The victory further solidifies Martirosian's standing as the most successful player in format history.

The opening weekend of the GG World Festival reached a major milestone during the Season 2026 Episode 17 finale of the GGMillion$. 

The event, which featured the largest tournament guarantee of the festival's start, concluded with Russian poker professional Artur Martirosian securing a record-extending 13th title in the format. Martirosian took home a first-place prize of $486,816 for his performance.

The virtual broadcast was led by host Jeff Gross and guest commentator Justin Young. Young, a high-stakes professional with over $6.8 million in live earnings, offered technical analysis as the final nine players competed for the title. 

Gross noted that Martirosian entered the final as a heavy favorite with odds of 2.54, which he suggested might be the lowest ever recorded for a player in this specific field.

Final Table Highlights and Heads-up Play

The tournament reached its conclusion with a heads-up match between Martirosian and Hungarian player Tamas Adamszki. 

While Martirosian held the chip lead for most of the duel, Adamszki found a double-up opportunity in a significant hand. 

Adamszki flopped a flush with seven-six of diamonds, while Martirosian flopped a set of fours. On a turn of three, Martirosian moved all-in. 

Adamszki called and avoided nine outs on the river to bring his stack to 12.3 million against Martirosian's 15.2 million.
