Stefan Schillhabel Wins Second WSOP Bracelet
Stefan Schillhabel secured his second WSOP bracelet on August 23, 2026, by winning the $100 Flip & Go WSOP online event at GGPoker. He defeated Neville "Lionevil" Costa heads-up to take the $150,740 first-place prize from a $1,195,005 prize pool.
The result also awarded Schillhabel a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Main Event. His first bracelet came four years earlier in the $500 No-Limit Hold’em The Housewarming Online event, making this another online WSOP title on his record.

Flip Stage Sets Up the Go Phase
The event opened with 7,277 players placed all-in during the Flip stage. Survivors then moved into the Go portion, giving the tournament a structure distinct from a standard online No-Limit Hold’em event.
That format created a fast initial filter before conventional tournament play determined the later stages. By the time the event reached its final table, Schillhabel was positioned to add another bracelet to a résumé that already included an online WSOP win.
Final Table Payouts and Key Finishes
Costa finished second for $118,153 after falling to Schillhabel heads-up. Patrick "Nelepo10" Ulyssea placed third for $92,643, while David Mzareulov finished fourth for $72,642.
Other listed final-table payouts included Antonio "ImTheBest" Galiana in sixth for $44,462, Zhaoxing "Jokerwang777" Wang in seventh for $35,020, Bongbonggg in eighth for $27,460, and Maxim "Nesher_boy" Sheingart in ninth for $21,532.
Another Online Bracelet for Schillhabel
Schillhabel’s latest title adds to a WSOP record built across online bracelet events. The four-year gap between his first and second bracelets gives the result added context: this was not a first breakthrough, but a return to the winner’s circle in a major WSOP online event.
The $150,740 payout was the immediate prize, while the $30,000 Super Pass extends the value of the win into the 2026 WSOP Paradise Main Event. Together, the bracelet, cash prize, and future entry package made the Flip & Go result one of the notable outcomes on the online schedule.
Other WSOP Online Events Continue
Schillhabel’s bracelet win took place as several other WSOP online events were still progressing. The $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Monster Stack drew 1,482 entries, with 37 players remaining for Day 2. That session was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. BST on August 24, with $256,542 reserved for the champion.
Event #7, the $500 Mini Main Event, had recorded 8,917 entries across 14 completed starting flights. Two starting flights remained on August 24, and the event needed 1,609 additional entries to reach the 10,526 entries required to avoid an overlay on its $5 million guarantee.
The Mini Main Event’s final nine players were scheduled to return on August 25, with more than $600,000 projected for the winner. Those figures kept the wider WSOP online schedule in focus even after Schillhabel’s Flip & Go title had been decided.
A Settled Result With Future Implications
For the tournament record, the key outcome is straightforward: Stefan Schillhabel won the $100 Flip & Go WSOP online event, Neville "Lionevil" Costa finished runner-up, and Schillhabel became a two-time WSOP bracelet winner.
The added Super Pass also links this result to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Main Event, giving Schillhabel a future seat in another major WSOP championship setting.
