Ukraine's Leonid Bilokur has won the 25K High Rollers event at the PCA down in the Bahamas. Bilokur's only other major live score was a EPT Berlin side event win back in 2010. With this win, Bilokur (2011 PTPR Rank: 308th) collects a cool 1.1M dollars, a great way to start 2012.
Second place finisher Jonathan Duhamel closed out what could be one of the best weeks of poker ever played on the live circuit. Five events - four final tables - one win and now a second place finish.
Although Duhamel seemed very flustered with the way things went late in the heads up portion of today's final table (Duhamel held a significant lead once heads up play began) but Duhamel (2011 PTPR Rank: 71st) should not be too upset, his second place showing earns him his season-leading third PTPR Score of the year and takes over the #1 rank on the 2012 PTPR Poker Player of the Year Leaderboard.
Isaac Haxton was third in the event. Haxton (2011 PTPR Rank: 803th) scores for the second time in 2012.
