Greek poker player Iraklis Kosmadakis earns his first known live cash in a big way - winning the Merit Winterfest Main Event and pocketing a cool 125K paycheck along the way.
Third place finisher Vladimir Kochelaevskiy was the lone notable player to pickup PTPR Points in the event. Kochelaevskiy finished second to Tomer Berda at the 2010 WSOP (NLH Side Event) good for a 500K cash.

I have heard about his talent about a few times already. He does deserve to win this tournament. He should probably share some poker tips for beginners.
