Sam Greenwood helped himself to a $141,384 prize this weekend when he won the $1,050 GGMasters High Roller event at GGPoker.

Greenwood was one of 1,000 players who parted company with $1,050 for the chance to become the tournament’s champion. The final table of the GGMasters High Roller is usually packed with household names, but this week’s was quite unusual as the final table was mostly made up of relatively unknown grinders.

“Serenity Now” and “ObellaCiao” were the first casualties of the final table. They scooped prizes worth $14,138 and $18,853 respectively. Brazil’s Pedro Garagnani ($25,142), “alwayspush” ($33,527), and Austria’s “lhjgkfdasjz” ($44,709) were the next trio to fall.

Polish player “ZryjGruz” ($59,621) busted in fourth, with the elimination of "Tawkone" ($79,506) sending the tournament heads-up where both players locked in six-figure hauls.

Greenwood defeated San Marino’s “Fantastik55” and claimed the $141,384 top prize. Fantastik55 walked away with the $106,023 runner-up score.

Grafton Chops $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up With Salas

Over at PokerStars, a compact yet talented field of 68 players took their seats in the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up. Any of the eight finalists would have made a worthy champion, but it was Sam “SamSquid” Grafton who gets to call himself a champion..

Grafton’s fellow Brit Patrick “pads1161” Leonard was the first finalist out of the door. He was joined on the sidelines by Christian “WATnlos” Rudolph, “I’MalliN.2IIi” and Sweden’s “flerrehuve”.

The final four read like a who’s who of the online poker world. Jon “apestyles” Van Fleet fell in fourth for $7,702 with Juan “Malaka$tyle” Pardo locking up the first five-figure sum of the tournament, namely $10,287 when he crashed out in third.

Grafton and reigning WSOP Main Event champion Damian “pampa27” Salas locked horns and butted heads one-on-one, but not before striking a deal that lessened the pay jumps. The deal meant Salas collected $14,702 when he lost to Grafton heads-up, leaving Grafton to bank $17,392.
