You may have heard the following a few times ... "Vanessa Selbst is a beast"

Well, we're not about to disagree! Selbst has been one of the best poker players on the planet for the past few years, dominating in NLH events ... but now, she adds a bracelet in the 10-Game Mix? Selbst may just be one of the best overall!

Further to her second bracelet victory, Selbst skyrockets up the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year charts - powered by PTPRpoker ... Selbst now sits second overall on the season, one point ahead of Marvin Rettenmaier, still a little over 100 points behind Daniel Smith.

Other final table participants included: Tam Hang (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-349th) Chris Bjorin (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 97th), Thomas Chambers (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 73rd) and Scott Clements (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 275th).

Gabriel Nassif, Matthew Ashton, Bryn Kenney, 2012 bracelet winner Vincent van der Fluit, Mike Wattel, James Mackey and Lee Goldman all earned Top 18 finishes.
