Greek Poker Dominance Continues: Emmanouil Chalkiotis Claims the Vamos Poker Tour Title

The Main Event, with a €350 buy-in, attracted significant attention from the poker community, reflected in the high turnout. Although the guaranteed €600,000 prize pool wasn't surpassed, 1,445 entries still make for impressive participation.

The event victor was Greek player Emmanouil Chalkiotis, who defeated German player known as Kalle in the final heads-up. In the decisive hand, the stacks were nearly even when Chalkiotis completed a flush on the flop with Q c 8 c on a board of 5 c 3 c 6 c. Kalle, holding A c 8 s, went all-in at that moment. Chalkiotis called and anxiously watched the turn 3 d and river T d, which sealed his victory.

The atmosphere of the final day and the exciting progress of the final table can be watched in the complete livestream archive with commentary on King's Resort's YouTube channel:

For Chalkiotis, this is an exceptional achievement that continues his fantastic 2025 season. He emerged as the overall winner of the VPT ranking for 2025, securing a prestigious Main Event WSOP 2026 package in Las Vegas.

His victory in Rozvadov was even sweeter as Chalkiotis is a representative of the VPT Team Pro, with sponsored entries to key series tournaments. This win confirmed that in 2026, he will rightfully be one of the most watched players in the Vamos Poker Tour series.
