WPT FIVE DIAMOND: RAGHAVAN TWO-PEATS AS WE CLOSE FIVE DIAMOND


A few days prior to winning the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic, Ravi Raghavan was busy putting up another W, winning the final 2,500 NLH side event at Bellagio.

Raghavan's two late-season victories move him up to 19th overall on the QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Leaderboard.



Will "The Thrill" Failla, Stan Jablonski, Joseph Serock, Cary Katz, Steve Gross and Chris Bjorin all final tabled the event.

Full event stats are available at the bottom of this post.


The final Five Diamond event that qualified for POY points was won by Anthony Gargano. Gargano defeated Lawrence Greenberg heads-up.

Zachary Clark - who won the event last season - finished third in the event ... meanwhile, Joseph Serock made another final table appearance at Bellagio.
