Sam Greenwood's run to the final six of the 2016 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge comes in a timely manner, as it takes place in the first month of the new year following the one that saw him truly break out with more than $2 million in earnings and several top results.
Prior to 2015, Greenwood boasted career live tournament earnings just north of $500,000. Last year saw him land scores of $396,920, $318,977, and $632,905, among others, and one of those was a World Series of Poker bracelet win in Las Vegas. That golden win was in a $1,000 no-limit hold'em event with 1,951 entrants.
All told, Greenwood had seven six-figure scores last year and many cashes from big buy-in events.
While he has been around for a few years now, Greenwood has always seemed to be in the shadows of his brother, Max. This final table appearance, when combined with the impressive string of results he put together in 2015, has really vaulted him into the spotlight.
