The final hand saw the chip go in on a five-high flop, Martirosian holding pocket queens and Chidwick king-five. A king on the river came to Chidwick��s rescue and awarded him the title.

SHRB #24 �C High Roller: $500K Gtd [6-Max, 2-Day Event]

Greenwood won his second event in the space of a couple of days by taking down a $10,300 six-handed affair. Again, a pair of Team partypoker members were at the final table, but they couldn��t quite go all the way.

Haxton busted in fourth for $45,000 with Bicknell falling in third for $65,000. Bicknell��s exit left Dan Smith and Greenwood to fight it out one-on-one for the title and the lion��s share of the prize pool.

There was almost $75,000 difference between first and second place but these Goliath��s of the poker world didn��t care about that and played the tournament out as it was intended. This meant Greenwood won $200,000 when he emerged victoriously leaving Smith to scoop $127,972.

Vousden defeated Timothy Adams heads-up for the title and the bulk of the prize pool. Adams can��t be too disappointed with second place as it awarded $180,250.
