For a payday of Euro 741,100 and maiden title

Leon Tsoukernik won his maiden title in the PokerStars EPT Prague Euro 50,000 Super High Roller event this week emerging victorious from a field of 38, described as the world's best, poker players.
Tsoukernik is an interesting character, a flamboyant 43-year-old art dealer turned casino owner who travels across Europe in a helicopter, parking it wherever he finds the biggest cash games, EPT wrote.
The event ended up in heads-up play between Tsoukernik and Charlie Carrel, a 23-year-old from Britain's Channel Islands.
In a novel-like twist, Carrel eliminated Tsoukernik on Day 1, after which Tsoukernik bought back in, landing in the same seat he had left, and ultimately winning the first major title of his career.
Top finishers were:
Leon Tsoukernik Euro 741,100
Charlie Carrel Euro 535,250
Juha Helppi Euro 341,150
Viacheslav Buldygin Euro 258,800
Paul Newey Euro 200,000
Julian Thomas Euro 152,915
Anthony Zinno Euro 123,520
