It took over 13 hours to find a winner but, we have a winner at the Aviation Club de France! The event ended around 5:30AM Paris time - time to go to bed!

Natalia Nikitina (pictured) has captured the World Poker Tour National Series Paris (Euro Finals of Poker) Main Event.

Nikitina defeated Alexandre "Tintin" Brivot heads up. She is the first female to win a PTPR event this season. The Russian earns 101 PTPR Points and over 240,000 Euros for the win.

It was a very tough last two days for Sam Trickett. The red-hot pro seemed to have everything under control with 10 players left but, unfortunately, after taking two big hits on Sunday, Trickett couldn't recover but still managed a 6th place finish.

Final 8 payouts:

1. Natalia Nikitina €243,830
2. Alexandre Brivot €174,170
3. Jean-Louis Tepper €113,210
4. Benjamin Pollak €69,670
5. Tobias Wagner €52,250
6. Sam Trickett €43,545
7. Ingo Paulus €34,835
8. Nicolo Calia €26,120
