Bonomo and O’Dwyer Win EPT Monte Carlo High Rollers

As some may already know, the European Poker Tour (EPT) has a current stop at Monte Carlo and this tournament series kicked off with the €1,100 buy-in EPT National Event, on 25th April 2018. The event was won by French poker player Guillaume Diaz and the next event to take place was the €100k Super High Roller, where Sam Greenwood picked up a career-best win.

In the next few days, the Main Event kicked off along with a few side events and a couple of single day High Roller events. Poker pros from USA, Justin Bonomo and Steve O’Dwyer shipped the €25,000 High Roller and the €50,000 High Roller respectively, taking home handsome prizes for doing so.

€50,000 Single Day High Roller

Steve O’Dwyer has been having a great run in poker tournaments across the globe, featuring on several final tables since the start of 2018 and also winning a PCA High Roller Event in January, for $769,500. At EPT Monte Carlo too, he topped a field of 41 entries (including 11 re-entries) to bag winnings of €676,300 ($818,468).

“That was one of the most absurd final tables I’ve ever played. Luckily, I ran really hot all in. Made some good reads… and probably some bad plays. That’s poker,” said O’Dwyer after beating Nick Petrangelo in heads up. He also reached heads-up of the €25,000 Single Day High Roller, only to be beaten by Justin Bonomo. O’Dwyer’s combined winnings from these two events took his career earnings past $22.5 million. 

Final results:

1. Steve O’Dwyer – €676,300 (~INR 5.4 crore)
2. Nick Petrangelo – €467,410
3. Steffen Sontheimer – €298,300
4. Justin Bonomo – €228,700
5. Daniel Dvoress – €179,000
6. Rainer Kempe – €139,200

€25,000 Single Day High Roller

Gutshot reported news of Sam Greenwood winning the €100,000 SHR. Justin Bonomo finished 4th in that same event for €401,000, followed by another good run in the €50,000 SHR, finishing 5th for €228,700, with O’Dwyer ultimately winning that event (read above). It was only fair that Bonomo won a tournament himself, and that’s exactly what happened in the €25,000 Single Day High Roller.
