Dia 2 Iniciado
Twelve months ago Sam Greenwood took down the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour €100,000 Super High Roller for €1,520,000, beating Christoph Vogelsang heads-up for the title.
Since then he's added over $4.5m to his lifetime earnings, thanks to two seven-figure scores in Korea, and another $100,000 Super High Roller title at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
Now Greenwood is well-placed at the start of Day 2 of this €100,000 Super High Roller tournament, and is looking to defend his title here in Monaco.
However, he will be hard-pushed by a whole host of names, including the aforementioned Vogelsang. Sam's brother Luc sits sixth in chips, behind Day 1 chip leader Wiktor Malinowski (1,042,000), 2018 EPT Barcelona Super High Roller runner-up Ahadpur Khangah (985,000), Isaac Haxton (953,000), Sergio Aido (880,000) and Michael Soyza (813,000).
29 players made it through Day 1, but with late registration open until the start of Day 2 - and players including Matthias Eibinger already hinting at jumping back in - expect that number to rise further still.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for continued coverage of the European Poker Tour's biggest buy-in event.
Just four players have jumped into the Super High Roller at the start of Day 2. Three of them had previously entered, but EPT Barcelona Super High Roller Champion Mikita Badziakouski is entering for the first time.
