The most expensive tournament of the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events has come to a conclusion and a new first-time bracelet winner has been crowned. Greek poker pro Alexandros Theologis defeated Kahle Burns in a short-lived and one-sided heads-up duel in Event #21 $25,000 Super High Roller Championship to claim the lion's share of the $6,247,500 prize pool. The tournament drew a total of 255 entries to breeze past the $5 million guarantee and the top 30 spots were paid.
For Theologis, it was redemption for the runner-up finish in Event #55: HK$8,000 No Limit Hold'em Asia Championship during the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events. Prior to his victory, he had cashed in WSOP Events 15 times but none of the scores came close to the massive top prize of $1,212,033. Runner-up Burns narrowly missed out on his third career bracelet but the consolation prize of $934,604 will certainly soothe the pain in a day or two.
GGPoker Team Russia member Anatoly Filatov finished in fourth place right ahead of two-time WSOP bracelet winner Mark Radoja. The hopes of Adrian Mateos to claim a fourth bracelet ended early on as the Spaniard was eliminated in 8th place.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alexandros Theologis | Greece | $1,212,033 |
| 2 | Kahle Burns | Australia | $934,604 |
| 3 | Wenjie "Jerome001" Huang | China | $720,679 |

| 7 | Rui Ferreira | Portugal | $254,798 |
| 8 | Adrian Mateos | Spain | $196,476 |
| 9 | Timothy Nuter | United States | $151,504 |
Theologis entered the final table third in chips, trailing only eventual third-place finisher Wenjie "Jerome001" Huang and Burns. The first hour already shook up the leaderboard significantly as four players were sent to the rail. Timothy Nuter was the first to succumb to his short stack and Adrian Mateos followed next when his ace-ten suited ended up second-best against the queens of Theologis. Eduardo "srjtdyfgukh" Silva followed shortly after and Theologis held a narrow lead over Huang on the first break.
Anatoly Filatov had gained some early momentum with a double-up through Burns and then knocked out Mark Radoja in fifth place, instantly flopping the nut flush to end the hopes of the Canadian for a repeat victory. Huang was left short while Theologis established a commanding lead over his final three opponents. One after the other sent their chips to the Greek, who made the most of his major chip advantage.
First to fall was Filatov as the shortest stack and Huang followed right after when his dominated pair found no help. Theologis entered heads-up with a lead of more than 6-1 over Burns. Even though the Aussie "deserved one double to make it interesting" according to the table chat, there was no miracle comeback and Theologis prevailed in under two hours.
That concludes the PokerNews updates for this event but the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events continue until September 12, 2021.
