The 2021 GG Spring Festival has all but concluded and one of the last high-stakes tournaments to determine a champion has done so in just over three hours of play. Out of a field of 172 entries in Event H-109: $25,500 Sunday Millions, it was American poker pro Seth Davies who walked away with the biggest portion of the $4,300,000 prize pool.
Davies came out on top to earn a payday of $956,440 after sending his final three contenders to the rail in consecutive hands. His victory may have seemed unlikely when the final table kicked off, as Davies was at the bottom of the counts with just 16 big blinds. However, he doubled several times to get back into contention.
Finnish pro Sami Kelopuro laddered to a consolation prize of $717,228, which more than made up for the nine bullets he fired in the joint most expensive tournament of the series. Elio Fox added another big payday to his resume and earned $537,846 for his efforts while the comeback from half a big blind with four remaining by Niklas Astedt was cut short for a $403,327 prize.
Joni Jouhkimainen entered the final table with nearly two times as many chips as Fox but had to settle for sixth place. Among the other finalists were also the High Roller regulars Andras Nemeth, Joao Vieira, Isaac Haxton, and Artur Martirosian.

The action of the final day
It was a very tense affair at the start and no player busted in the first hour. Nearly one dozen double-ups occurred and Davies survived two times. Sami Kelopuro became the short stack only to double twice and even take over the lead. Eventually, the fortune had to run out for one of the contenders and it was Artur Martirosian who became the first casualty. Soon after, Isaac Haxton busted to Davies, who took over the lead with seven remaining.
Joao Vieira and Joni Jouhkimainen lost the race with their short stacks to reduce the field to the final five. Davies then won a pivotal clash against Andras Nemeth when he had to come from behind with a dominated ace.
From there on out, Davies went on a hot run to establish an overwhelming lead. Astedt managed to spin back a fraction of a big blind to double twice through Davies, who retained his lead. The next key hand was the elimination of Astedt in fourth place, who called it off with a set on a straight and flush board, as Davies turned over the nut flush. Elio Fox was gone the very next hand and Davies then made it three knockouts in as many hands to also dispatch Kelopuro.
One more tournament of the GG Spring Festival will determine a champion and that's Event H-108: $10,300 Super MILLION$. The largest Super MILLION$ in the history of GGPoker is live-streamed on Tuesday, April 27 and the PokerNews team will be back then to provide all key hands.
