Halfway through the day, the €100,000 Super High Roller at the 2018 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo©Casino EPT has attracted 28 unique players, with six of them already buying themselves right back in after busting out. Sam Greenwood is currently the man in charge, with Christoph Vogelsang hot on his heels.

This storied event has a rich history at the EPT and has been held six times in the past, including last year as the PokerStars Championship Super High Roller. Six different winners have lifted the coveted trophy over the years: Justin Bonomo, Max Altergott, Dan Colman, Erik Seidel, Ole Schemion and Bryn Kenney.

The facts and figures of the €100K are as follows:

EPT Monte Carlo €100,000 Super High Roller champions

2012 - Winner: Justin Bonomo (€1,640,000)

The first of six winners was Justin Bonomo back in 2012, who scored the first of his four seven-figure cashes in an incredibly successful poker career that already spans over 13 years. Bonomo was one of seven players that fired two €100K bullets in this event and ran his second attempt all the way up to the title.

Holding the chip lead from start to finish, Bonomo outlasted a star-studded final table containing Daniel Negreanu, Masa Kagawa, Patrik Antonius, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Tobias Reinkemeier.

2013 - Winner: Max Altergott (€1,746,000)

In 2013, the title went to Germany's Max Altergott, who conquered the final table within six hours and defeated Jason Mercier heads-up. It was one of two cashes Altergott made in the €100,000 Super High Roller (the other being a 3rd place at EPT 11), which makes him the current leader on the all-time money list of this event.

Altergott defeated Mercier after winning a massive hand with a pair of queens on a jack-high board, when the American pro didn't improve with a lower pair and flush draw. The final table also contained Sorel Mizzi, Timothy Adams and Scott Seiver.

2014 - Winner: Dan Colman (€1,539,300)

2014 was an amazing year for Dan Colman, who won the €100,000 Super High Roller mere months before conquering the Big One for One Drop in Las Vegas. Colman was the only player to fire three bullets in this event and it paid off, parlaying his 300k investment into a sweet 1.7 million.

After striking a three-way deal with Daniel "Jungleman" Cates and Igor Kurganov that left each of them seven figures richer, it took 69 more hands for Colman before winning the trophy and adding the winner bonus of €241,000 on top of the deal.

2015 - Winner: Erik Seidel (€2,015,000)

Poker legend Erik Seidel conquered the largest ever field amassed in Monte Carlo — 71 players — on his way to a payday of more than 2 million euro. Seidel called it "one of the best tournaments of my career", a strong statement from the current #2 on the all-time money list with over $34M lifetime winnings.

Seidel defeated the then ultra-hot Dzmitry Urbanovich heads-up at a final table that also contained Kurganov, Altergott and Fedor Holz.

2016 - Winner: Ole Schemion (€1,597,000)

German mastermind Ole Schemion was top dog back in 2016. Schemion collected €1,597,000 for his accomplishment after beating the likes of Mustapha Kanit, Sam Greenwood and Stephen Chidwick at the final table.

At the 2016 EPT in Monte Carlo, Schemion made his triumphant comeback to the live circuit after a short hiatus, becoming second in the 50K High Roller mere days later for more than €2.5M euro in winnings during the trip.

2017 - Winner: Bryn Kenney (€1,784,500)

Last year, it was Bryn Kenney who emerged victorious in a field of 61, winning the biggest price of his storied career with €1,784,500. Kenney ran as pure as could be, dispatching ever single opponent at the final table himself except for Daniel Dvoress, who was eliminated by eventual runner-up Viacheslav Buldygin.

Kenney spoke with PokerNews after his victory and talked about his amazing run. Check out the video below.
