Many poker players would die to collect one big score per season. Andrew Badecker just scored his second major victory in the past five months - not a bad half-season for the Connecticut man.

After winning a WSOP bracelet this past summer, Badecker won the inaugural Borgata Fall Open NLH Championship early this morning. Badecker defeated a strong field and a final table that included two other bracelet winners.

Badecker's win has seen him gain 80 spots on the 2011 PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard. Badecker now sits 18th on the list, just a couple of spots outside our Top 15...
