WPT BESTBET JAX: CUNIX'S TRIP TREYS EARN HIM JACKSONVILLE GOLD!

PICTURE: WORLD POKER TOUR

He was chip leader going in and, although he lost the chip lead during final table play, Shawn Cunix bounced back and has won WPT BestBet Jacksonville, the final WPT event prior to the World Championship.


Cunix (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-18th) held pocket treys on the final hand - once a three hit the board, that was it, game over! Cunix takes home over 400K USD for the victory.

It was a tough start to final table play as our four fan favourites were gone within hours ... 2011 PTPR Poker Player of the Year Will "The Thrill" Failla (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 89th) was the first to go, WPT host Tony Dunst (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-289th) was next while Daniel Buzgon (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-129th) and Darren Elias (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-143rd) followed shortly thereafter.
