Home / Uncategorized / Schemion, Gruissem & Holz headline side event winners at PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®

So much poker has been played throughout the past two weeks here in Monaco that it’s been hard to keep up with it all. From the Main Events to the cash games, side events to charity tournaments, you’re never more than a few metres away from a three-bet.

We’ve already told you about Bryn Kenney winning €1.7 million in the €100K Super High Roller as we were on hand with exclusive updates. And as I type the Main Event is still going with eight players left.

So we’re focusing on the other side event results. You can take a look at the results from every single event of the PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®.

But here, we’ve picked out some of the bigger names and bigger tournaments for your convenience. Enjoy.
