Vanessa SelbstVanessa Selbst has won the Partouche Poker Tour event in a weekend of drama which saw German Ali Tekintamgac expelled from the final table before play started.

The €8,500 buy in event, which played down to the final table of nine in September before returning to the Palm Beach Casino in Cannes at the weekend, attracted 764 runners and created a prize pool of €5.68 million.

The final table payouts were:

1: Vanessa Selbst — €1,300,000
2: Raphael Kroll — €800,000
3: Fabrice Soulier — €500,000
