Greg Shuda Poker Player Profile: Earnings, Results & Career
Greg Shuda is an American poker player from Wisconsin whose live tournament résumé is highlighted by a victory in the 2025 MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship, a runner-up finish at the 2023 U.S. Poker Open, and a World Series of Poker high-roller final table.
Shuda has produced unusually large scores from a relatively short list of recorded live tournament cashes. As of August 2026, Hendon Mob lists him with $586,137 in live tournament earnings from six recorded results, including three six-figure finishes.
His largest score came in October 2025, when he defeated a 1,698-entry field at Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee to win the MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship for $232,955.
⠀
Who Is Greg Shuda?
Greg Shuda, also listed in tournament records as Gregory Shuda, is an American poker player associated with Onalaska, Wisconsin.
His recorded tournament history includes significant results in both no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha. Shuda first attracted wider attention at the 2022 World Series of Poker when he reached the final table of the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller.
He followed that result with another major PLO performance at the 2023 U.S. Poker Open before breaking through for his first MSPT Main Event championship in Wisconsin in 2025.
Unlike players whose earnings are accumulated through dozens or hundreds of recorded cashes, Shuda's live résumé has been built around a small number of particularly deep finishes.

⠀
2022 WSOP $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Final Table
Shuda's first recorded Hendon Mob cash was immediately a major result.
At the 2022 World Series of Poker, he entered Event #19, the $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha tournament. The event attracted 264 entries and generated a prize pool of $6,237,000.
Shuda reached the final table and finished eighth for $152,091.
The result placed him at a final table that included accomplished players such as Josh Arieh, David Williams and Jared Bleznick. Tong Li ultimately won the bracelet for $1,467,739.
For Shuda, the eighth-place finish established a six-figure tournament score in his first recorded live cash.
⠀
Runner-Up at the 2023 U.S. Poker Open
Shuda returned to high-stakes pot-limit Omaha competition in March 2023 and produced another six-figure result.
He reached heads-up play in Event #6 of the U.S. Poker Open, a $15,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
Shuda finished second to Isaac Kempton and earned $186,000.
At the time, it became the largest recorded tournament cash of Shuda's career and raised his recorded earnings from his first two cashes to more than $338,000.
The back-to-back high-level PLO results also demonstrated that Shuda's tournament success was not limited to no-limit hold'em.
⠀
Winning the 2025 MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship
Shuda recorded the biggest victory of his career at the 2025 MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship at Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee.
The $1,110 Main Event attracted 1,698 entries across its starting flights, creating a $1,645,560 prize pool and surpassing the advertised $1 million guarantee.
Shuda navigated the large field to reach the final table, where Maurice Hawkins was among the other remaining players.
Shuda eventually reached heads-up play against Mykle Robble. The final two players adjusted the remaining payouts before Shuda secured the championship.
He earned $232,955 for first place, the largest live tournament cash of his career.
The victory was also Shuda's first MSPT Main Event title. MSPT lists him as a one-time Main Event champion and Gold Card winner.
The win carried additional significance because of the size of the field. MSPT reported that the 1,698 entries represented a record turnout for the Wisconsin event at the time.
⠀
Greg Shuda's Live Tournament Earnings
As of August 2026, Hendon Mob lists Greg Shuda with $586,137 in total live tournament earnings and a career-best cash of $232,955.
His six recorded results are:
2022 WSOP $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller — 8th, $152,091
2023 U.S. Poker Open $15,000 Pot-Limit Omaha — 2nd, $186,000
2024 WSOP $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em — 137th, $6,044
2025 WSOP $1,500 Millionaire Maker — 460th, $6,030
2025 MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship Main Event — 1st, $232,955
2026 WSOP $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better — 79th, $3,017
Tournament earnings can change whenever a player records another cash, so the $586,137 figure should be treated as an August 2026 snapshot rather than a permanent career total.
⠀
Greg Shuda at the World Series of Poker
Shuda has recorded cashes at multiple editions of the World Series of Poker.
His largest WSOP result remains his eighth-place finish in the 2022 $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $152,091.
He later cashed a $2,500 no-limit hold'em bracelet event in 2024 and the $1,500 Millionaire Maker in 2025.
Shuda returned to the WSOP money in 2026 in Event #69, the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better tournament. The event attracted 647 entries and generated an $858,892 prize pool. Shuda finished 79th for $3,017.
As of August 2026, no WSOP bracelet is recorded for Shuda.
⠀
Pot-Limit Omaha Success
Two of the most important results of Shuda's career have come in pot-limit Omaha.
His 2022 WSOP high-roller final table and 2023 U.S. Poker Open runner-up finish combined for $338,091 in prize money.
Both results came against high-level fields in expensive tournaments, with buy-ins of $25,000 and $15,000 respectively.
His later MSPT victory showed that Shuda could also convert a deep run into a title in a large-field no-limit hold'em tournament.
That combination of results gives Shuda a résumé spanning high-stakes PLO and large-field no-limit hold'em rather than success in only one format.
⠀
Greg Shuda's Recent Poker Results
Shuda's biggest tournament breakthrough came in October 2025 with his MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship victory.
He remained active at the World Series of Poker in 2026, cashing the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better bracelet event in June.
That result is his most recent recorded Hendon Mob cash as of August 2026.
Because Shuda has relatively few recorded tournament results, his schedule appears less extensive than that of many full-time tournament professionals. MSPT quoted Shuda after his 2025 championship as saying that he did not get to play much poker.
That statement supports describing him as an active tournament player with a limited recorded schedule rather than assuming he competes full time.
⠀
Why Greg Shuda Matters in Poker
Greg Shuda's tournament record stands out because of how much of his career earnings have come from a small number of deep finishes.
His first recorded cash was a final table in a $25,000 WSOP PLO high roller. His second was a runner-up finish in a $15,000 U.S. Poker Open PLO event. He later added a major large-field victory by winning the 2025 MSPT Wisconsin Poker State Championship.
Those three results alone account for more than $570,000 in recorded prize money.
The MSPT title gave Shuda his first major live tournament victory, while his earlier PLO results established that he could contend in high-buy-in events against experienced professional fields.
