Edward Gamaitoni has won the 2010 U.S. Poker Championship. Only 96 players participated in this year's event - and that's too bad, the USPC used to be one of the few "must play" events in poker - unfortunately, there seem to be too many other events on the go at the moment. Gamaitoni picks 100 PTPR Points for winning this Tier 3 event.

Kwinsee Khoa Tran (pictured) won the L.A. Poker Open Championship. He picked up 35 PTPR points for his win. Ray Qartomy scored for the second time this season.

Finally, Steven Fiorentini scored 35 PTPR Points for winning the Mohegan Sun's Fall Poker Showdown Deep Stack Main Event. This is Fiorentini's first score of the PTPR season.
