After a week of action under the opulent lights of the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino and Spa, the $5,300 Main Event of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus has wrapped up proceedings, with Gilles Simon walking away as the victor.

Simon defeated Andrea Dato in a brief heads-up affair that saw him overcome more than a two-to-one chip deficit.

It’s a meteoric rise to the top for the 24-year-old, who was playing online tournaments with an average buy-in of $10 just a few years ago. It’s another example of how the poker dream still remains possible, as Simon banked $1,042,000 for the win.
