Morocco-based Frenchman Alan Goasdoue is your 2026 GGPoker WSOP Super Circuit Main Event champion. Goasdoue outlasted a 10,690-entry field to win a WSOP Circuit ring and, more importantly, an incredible $2,234,319 top prize.
After dozens of Day 1s were played, the five-figure field was eventually reduced to eight players, with a number of big names still in contention.
Portugal’s Pedro Neves, a WSOP bracelet winner and three-time GGMillion$ champion, headlined the final table. You also had Spain’s Daniel Vicente, who finished second in last year’s WSOP $10,000 6-Max event for nearly $650,000.

Pedro Neves was, shockingly, the next to go after three-bet bluff-jamming ace-jack offsuit for 22 big blinds into Vicente, the far and away chip leader. Vicente wasn’t bullying this time and had pocket queens. A nine-high runout saw the Portuguese superstar exit for just under $500,000.

The K-8-7 flop, as well as the 7 turn, went check-check. Goasdoue checked a third time on a queen river, which gave “L JAHA” second pair. Goasdoue check-raised all in and “L JAHA” hero-called him incorrectly, busting for just over $1,000,000.

Who is Alan Goasdoue?
Goasdoue, from Digny, France, hosts his GGPoker account in Morocco, as online poker is heavily restricted in his home nation.
Goasdoue broke through with a massive result at EPT Paris in 2023, winning the €1,100 FPS Paris Main Event, topping a field of 2,071 to win a massive €287,830 ($307,780) top prize. That remains his only documented live tournament win to date from 51 cashes on his official Hendon Mob profile, and took place just five months after going pro. He satellited into the tournament and started the final table as the shortest stack.
Goasdoue mostly plays in his home nation of France, though he has been seen at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas every other year. Last year, he finished 961st in the WSOP Main Event for $20,000, the second-largest live cash of his career.
He was last seen at EPT Paris last month, where he enjoyed very deep runs in the PokerStars Open Main Event and the PokerStars Open High Roller, collecting five-figure cashes in both events.
Goasdoue was also involved in official Rubik’s Cube competitions as a youngster.
