It was certainly vindication for Tommy Vedes. The man who was first one out one year ago on this same stage, the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Main Event Final Table, would not be denied a second time.
Vedes, the former WPT Festa al Lago Champion, has collected his second WPT title, winning at the Hard Rock - quite impressive, Mr. Vedes!
Vedes' win earns him close to 780K USD and places him tied for 18th on the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year charts.
The man whom Vedes defeated heads up, John Dolan, can still be happy with the 459K score, plus, Dolan moves way up to #2 on the 2012 QuadJacks Player of the Year Leaderboard.
The former November Niner won the Million Dollar Heater earlier in the season, a win in Florida and Dolan would still have been points behind current QJ POY leader Jonathan Duhamel.
Joe Serock was the third man out on Monday. Serock, who had the chip lead early and ofter during this tournament, secures his second PTPR Score of 2012.
It surely seemed as if this was one rare tournament where this was a three-horse race, with Vedes, Dolan and Serock stealing the show for most of the week!
