João Costa wins PPS Figueira da Foz



Thumbnail image for ps news thn.jpgLaw student João Costa has won the PokerStars Portugal Poker Series Figueira da Foz event, taking home €24,640. The 22-year-old topped a 132-player field that generated an €89,630 prizepool.

Costa, who's from Portugal, dominated the tournament from the primary to the last hand. He was the Day 1A chip leader, the Day 2 chip leader and only lost his lead for a couple of moments at the final table. And whilst you would possibly not think that may be unusual, consider that this was his first attempt at a live tournament!
