Young poker player Christophe Lesage pulled a Chris Moneymaker earlier today at the Aviation Club de France.

The 22-year old amateur qualified for the France Poker Tour Final by entering a 10€ event online on Winmax. Good thing he did.

Hours ago, Lesage turned the 10€ into 200,000€ by winning the FPT Final at the ACF. Although we didn't have many BIG names at the final table, Lesage did have to survive a whole gang of star players on his way to the win.
