In fact: all final table players were Russians! So it wasn't much of a surprise that a Russian actually won the event. At the end of the day Full Tilt Poker professional Vitaly Lunkin had the honor of becoming the first to win in this new PokerStars tournament series.
With a buy-in of $7,000, 206 players came to the Renaissance Hotel in Moscow to play this event. 27 of them would make the money and the final table held some pretty familiar names. Team PokerStars pro's Ivan Demidov and Alex Kravchenko were probably the most recognizable, along with Vitaly Lunkin. The latter had to make an impressive comeback to finish the event when his pocket tens held against the A6 of Vyacheslav Goryachev to win 14,323,000 Российский рубль! Those are also known as Russian Rubles and it makes the first prize about $445,000  .
With this win, Vitaly Lunkin made another milestone in his carreer. He passed the mark of $1,000,000 in live tournament winnings, and along with his World Series of Poker Bracelet in 2008, this is his most important win so far for the former backgammon player.
Final table payouts (in rubles): 1. Vitaly Lunkin, Team FTP pro, 14,323,000 (~$445,000)
2. Vyacheslav Goryachev, 7,877,000
3. Alexander Khoustov, 4,028,000
4. Oleg Shamardin, 3,133,000
5. Sergey Artamonov, 2,685,000
6. Ivan Demidov, Team PokerStars Pro 2,238,000
7. Dmitry Vitkind, 1,790,000
8. Alex Kravchenko, Team PokerStars Pro, 1,342,000
9. Evgeny Onishuk, 895,000 |

The year is 2010. In Moscow, a boy asks, "Grandpa, what is a line?"
"You see, some twenty years back, there was not enough meat in stores, so people had to form long queues at the stores' entrances and wait hoping some meat would appear on sale. That was called line. Did you get it?"
"Yes, Grandpa. And what is meat?" |

In 2008 Vitaly beat out 2,706 entrants capturing first prize for $628,417, his first WSOP gold bracelet (event 27) so not a big surprise.
