It has been five years since an Italian player won an EPT Main Event. The last one to do so was Antonio Buonnano who hoisted the trophy here in Monaco. Nicola Grieco is now trying to end the drought, already guaranteed to pick up the biggest prize of his career. Grieco is an experienced player who had previously notched two EPT Main Event cashes; 23rd at EPT Sanremo 2011 and 173rd at EPT Prague 2018.

Grieco's résumé features cashes for over $217,000 combined. Grieco eliminated Aladin Reskallah and Conor Beresford on the final two tables to solidify his stack. Now with €152,800 already secured, Grieco is set to vault more than 100 places higher on the Italian all-time money list where he's currently in 292nd position.
