EPT DEAUVILLE: KURSEVICH WINS BIG IN DEAUVILLE MAIN EVENT

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.

1- Vadzim Kursevich, € 875,000
2- Paul Gichard, € 557,000
3- Vuong Than Throng, € 328,000
