It had been a minute since the last time Fedor Holz finished with all the chips in a live high roller poker tournament. That all came to an end Saturday when the German sensation took down Triton Poker London's $25,000 7-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event for $609,853.
The GGPoker ambassador defeated the red hot Chris Brewer heads-up win the 120-entrant high-stakes event, but the runner-up received almost the same amount as first place ($600,647) due to an ICM chop before the match began.
In other Triton news, Canada high-stakes grinder Luc Greenwood topped a field of 107 players (plus 55 rebuys) to win the first event of the series — $25,000 GGMillion$ No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed. He earned $897,000 for his efforts, a career-best score, and it brought his lifetime live tournament earnings over $5.6 million, according to Hendon Mob.
Greenwood's brother, Sam Greenwood, was on-hand to snap celebratory pics with the champion. Sam Greenwood is one of the top live tournament players in the world with over $33 million in cashes. Only Daniel Negreanu, with $51 million, has a bigger Hendon result among Canadians.
