Niklas Astedt Banks $342K GG Online Championship Prize

The best poker tournament players in the world bring their A-game to the table when the stakes are high. The stakes are certainly high in the inaugural GG Online Championship (GGOC) festival that is taking place at GGPoker. Several players helped themselves to six-figure scores from GGOC events this weekend, including the online poker legend that is Niklas Astedt.

Astedt was one of 142 players who parted company with $10,300 for the chance to become the champion of the Sunday Million High Rollers event. The top 20 finishers shared the $1,500,000 prize pool, with Mikita Badziakouski busting in 21st place and popping the money bubble.
