A Portuguese student wins the WPT DeepStacks Main Event in that neck of the woods, and the World Poker Tour Champions Club member, Jordan Cristos, changes his mind about the shot clock.

A 24-year old student from Portugal has won the latest WPTDeepStacks Main Event, in the Casino Vilamoura, Portugal.

Francisco Lopes defeated a field of 250 entrants to take down the $65,521 first prize, after a heads-up victory over a man who is becoming a permanent fixture on the European WPTDeepStacks scene.

The Algerian, Omar Lakhdari, not only came to the final table sitting on a healthy chip lead worth 151 big blinds, but he also knew the way to the final two spots, after finishing runner-up in the WPTDeepStacks Main Event in Cannes back in June for €43,720 pay day.
