It only took $530 and some extra spending money for poker player Razvan Belea to become a millionaire and make history. He shipped the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event for €1,170,000 (US$1.23 million) and became the first Romanian to win an EPT main event in the process.
Belea won his seat at the tournament through a PokerStars online satellite, and the subsequent trip to Paris, France for the event was well worth it. 1,606 entries made their way to the felt for the €5,300 (US$5,593) main event, and it was the Romanian who outlasted them all.
