It looks like Vadzim Kursevich got himself an early birthday present on Monday. Turning 25 on Wednesday, Kursevich collected the first title of his young poker career on the circuit - along with cashing in a monster €875,000 paycheque, happy birthday, Vadzim!
Kursevich (2011 PTPR Rank: 259th) enjoyed some success in 2011 but, despite (2) third place finishes good for a combined +500K US, he had not been able to pickup that first major victory - that all changed for the Belarsian on Monday.
It was yet another EPT Final Table for Luca Pagano. But, what looked like a tournament for him and only him to win a few days ago, slipped out of his hands during Sunday's play - and Pagano (2011 PTPR Rank: 201st) was unable to get things done during final table play. Pagano finished seventh in the event.
