Sam Greenwood Wins EPT Monte Carlo €100k SHR

The 3-day event saw Christoph Vogelsang holding the chip lead coming into the final 6 players. Greenwood had the second highest chip stack at the time, but he soon overtook Vogelsang and everyone else on the table. The final table also included top pros like Ole Schemion, Justin Bonomo and Isaac Haxton.

Greenwood reached heads-up with a lead over Vogelsang, but the tides turned and Vogelsang had a 4:1 chip lead at one stage. The intense heads up battle went on for over three hours between these two veterans but eventually, Greenwood’s KJ prevailed over his opponent’s A5. Greenwood took home the title, and a huge share of that €4,462,920 prize pool.
