We're in London, Vegas, Vancouver, Minnesota and Indiana in this edition of the Round-Up!

EPT LONDON NLH 6-MAX HIGH ROLLER TURBO
Final results are continuing to trickle in from London ... A blast from the recent pas as Thomas Wahlroos picks up the victory in what could be the longest titled event on tour ... the EPT London No Limit Holdem Six-Max High Rollers Turbo event ... got your breath back? Good.

Wahlroos defeated French/Amercian pro Vanessa Rousso heads up. ElkY picked up his sixth PTPR Score of the year with his fifth place finish. ElkY's 18 point score earns him second spot overall on the 2011 PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard, surpassing November Niner Ben Lamb.

Sixth place finisher Roberto Romanello continues his solid play this season. His fifth score puts him right back into the Player of the Year race - re-entering the Top 15, a few points ahead of PCA winner Galen Hall. Ninth place finisher Sean Getzwiller earns his fifth score of 2011.

FESTA AL LAGO CLASSIC
The 2011 Festa isn't part of the WPT tour schedule this season but, that didn't stop 228 runners to put up 5K and take a run at the title, and a grab a piece of the +1M prizepool.

Justin Young took the big prize, winning the event. Michael Katz, Thomas McCormick, Christopher DeMaci and Justin Filtz are earn, like Young, their second PTPR Scores of the season. John Krpan finished third in the event.

FALL POKER CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP
Jared Hubbard picked up his first title of the 2011 season, and earns over 77K in the process. Hubbard, the Minnesota native, collected the win at the Fall Poker Classic at Canterbury Park in Minnesota. Hubbard defeated Brandon Beery heads up.

WEST COAST POKER CHAMPIONSHIP
Earlier this month, Afshin Majidi won the West Coast Poker Championship at Edgewater Casino in Vancouver. 2010 November Niner Matt Jarvis finished third in the event, earning his second PTPR Score of the season.

WSOP CIRCUIT HORSESHOE INDIANA SIDE EVENT
Talk about a whirlwind week for former November Niner Dennis Phillips. Phillips was knocked out of the WSOP Europe Championship earlier in the week, then, he got on a plane and made his way to America. Hours after landing, Phillips was right back at it at a WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Indiana NLH side event. Well, Phillips won the event! From Cannes to Indiana to cash a 55K paycheck? Not bad Dennis!

2009 WSOPC New Orleans winner Jean Gaspard finished fifth in the event. Note: This event does not qualify for PTPR Points.
