Antonio Galiana won his third WSOP bracelet on September 1, 2026, taking down the $600 Super Six Bounty 6-Handed event on GGPoker for $155,340, but the story of the final table belonged just as much to Brazil’s Jonatas Gomes, who built a commanding four-to-one chip lead in heads-up play before watching it evaporate in the span of two hands. Gomes settled for $108,380 as the runner-up, a career score that still leaves plenty for Brazilian fans to celebrate from an event that also saw compatriot Felipe Varisco reach the final table.
The bounty format drew 2,699 entries and built a $1,538,430 prize pool, another reminder of how much traffic WSOP Online continues to generate at accessible buy-in levels. With bounties attached to every elimination, the event rewarded aggression throughout, and Galiana’s bounty collection alone accounted for nearly half of his final payday.
A Third WSOP Bracelet for Galiana
Galiana, who plays out of Andorra, entered the record books with his third career bracelet, a milestone that places him among a growing group of players who have turned WSOP Online into a recurring source of high-value scores. His first bracelet came in 2024 in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout for $439,395, and his second followed in 2025 in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Max for $582,008. The Super Six Bounty title is his lowest buy-in bracelet win of the three, but the $155,340 payday, boosted by $69,972 in bounty collections, made it a lucrative one all the same, plus the win came with a $30,000 Super Pass into the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event later this year.
How the Super Six Bounty Format Works
The Super Six Bounty structure splits every buy-in between the prize pool and a bounty placed on each player’s head, so every knockout pays the eliminator directly rather than simply thinning the field. Playing 6-handed rather than the traditional nine or ten seats also speeds up the pace of play and pushes stacks in and out of the middle more often, which tends to inflate the size of individual bounties as short stacks are forced into confrontations earlier than they would be in a full-ring event. That structure helps explain why bounty totals made up such a large share of the final payouts, with Galiana’s own $69,972 in collections nearly matching his share of the base prize pool.
Gomes Builds a Massive Lead, Then Watches It Slip
For much of the final table, the story belonged to Gomes. The Brazilian was chip leader heading into heads-up play and built his advantage out to roughly four times Galiana’s stack, a lead that in most tournaments would be considered all but decisive. Two hands changed everything. Without the benefit of a hand-by-hand replay, what is clear from the results is that Galiana clawed back from that deficit to complete one of the more dramatic heads-up reversals of the 2026 WSOP Online series, denying Gomes what looked like a near-certain bracelet just a short time earlier.
Brazil’s Double Presence at the Final Table
Gomes was not the only Brazilian to make a deep run. Felipe Varisco also reached the unofficial final table, finishing fifth for $46,127 after collecting $8,969 in bounties along the way. Two Brazilians inside the top five of a 2,699-entry field is a strong showing for the country’s growing footprint in WSOP Online events, which have become a regular home for Brazilian grinders looking to build bracelet resumes without the cost of travel to Las Vegas. The results continue a pattern seen throughout the 2026 WSOP Online series, where Brazilian players have repeatedly pushed deep into bracelet fields across a range of buy-in levels.
How the Rest of the Final Table Finished
Behind the top three, Roman Hanoyan of Russia took fourth for $56,990, followed by Varisco in fifth. Timothy Labassa of Poland finished sixth for $35,337, and Stefan Nemetz of Austria rounded out the unofficial final table in seventh for $24,176. Anton Danilov of Russia, who took third place for $76,142, was the only player besides Galiana and Gomes to crack six figures in bounties relative to his overall payout, collecting $11,446 in knockouts on his way to the podium finish.
Part of a Stacked WSOP Online Week
Galiana’s win came during one of the busier stretches of the 2026 WSOP Online series, with multiple bracelets awarded within days of each other across different formats and buy-in levels. That density of high-profile results has become typical of the modern WSOP Online calendar, which now runs dozens of bracelet events over several weeks and draws a genuinely global player pool.

For Gomes and Varisco, the results add two more deep WSOP Online cashes to Brazil’s growing tally for the year, even if the biggest prize slipped away in painful fashion. For Galiana, a third bracelet and a Super Pass to the Bahamas make September 1 a date worth remembering.
