Law student João Costa has won the PokerStars Portugal Poker Series Figueira da Foz event, taking home €24,640. The 22-year-old topped a 132-player field that generated an €89,630 prizepool.
Costa, who is from Portugal, dominated the tournament from the first to the last hand. He was the Day 1A chip leader, the Day 2 chip leader and only lost his lead for a few moments on the final table. And while you may not think that is unusual, consider that this was his first attempt at a live tournament!

After starting the heads-up behind Henrique Custódio, Costa managed to recover ground and win when, after three shoves, Custódio had A?7? against Costa's 6?6?. The board held the young man's pocket pair and Custódio finished runner-up for €15,700.
