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's from Portugal, dominated the tournament from the primary to the last hand. He was the Day 1A chip leader, the Day 2 chip leader and only lost his lead for a couple of moments at the final table. And when you would possibly not think that may be 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.
