Brandon Barnes (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-146th) won over 212K USD by winning the Main Event, but it's the overall success of the Florida State Poker Championship that has the State of Florida once again proving that it is indeed on the hotbeds of poker.
Although the leaderboard was dominated by Florida residents, it's Barnes, a Michigan native, who picked up the Main Event top prize. Barnes earned a second place finish at Heartland Michigan this past November. Barnes had collected over 117K USD for that second place finish.
Barnes defeated veteran pro Adam Levy (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-319th) heads-up.
Meanwhile Hans Winzeler (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 72nd) collected his third PTPR Score of 2012, crossing the 100-point mark.
WPT Seminole Hard Rock Champion Tommy Vedes (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 10th) earned his fourth PTPR Score of the season - Vedes climbs back into the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Top 10 Leaderboard - powered by PTPRPoker.
Darryll Fish, Micah Raskin and Norm Zapczynski are other notables who earned PTPR Points in the event.
