We start off this post by thanking the hardest working man in poker - @Kevmath Kevin Mathers - appreciate the help, as always. We also wish him the bets of luck and safe travels and he makes his way to the Aussie Millions this week.
Jonathan Duhamel is on a mission - he may very well be playing the best poker of his career. After a Top 5 finish at the PCA 100K Super High Rollers last Saturday (a non-scoring PTPR event), Duhamel continued his strong play by finishing 5th at Sunday's 5K NL Turbo 8-Max event and then, the icing on the cake!
Duhamel (2011 PTPR Rank: 71st) takes home his first win of 2012, winning Event 12 at the PCA - the 5K No Limit 8-Max tournament down in the Bahamas ... three top finishes in four days? Not a bad start to the year for our 2010 WSOP World Champion.
PCA EVENT 8 5K NL TURBO 8-MAX
Duhamel finshed fifth but it was Kunimaro Kojo who won the event. Kunimaro (2011 PTPR Rank: 2360th) had a score at the 25K heads up event at the WSOP over the summer.
Isaac Haxton (2011 PTPR Rank: 804th), Brian Lemke (2011 PTPR Rank: 1727th) and Corey Burbick (2011 PTPR Rank: 108th) all scored PTPR Points in the event.

PCA EVENT 12 5K NL 8-MAX
Duhamel defeated a great list of players in order to pickup his first win of 2012. Jason Mercier finished third in the event. Mercier (2011 PTPR Rank: 8th), had a great 2011 and most believe he is one of a few favourites for 2012 PTPR POY honours.
Defending WSOP World Champion Pius Heinz is on the board. Heinz (2011 PTPR Rank: 29th) finished fifth to fellow World Champ Duhamel.
Keven Stammen (2011 PTPR Rank: 1412th), Owen Crowe (2011 PTPR Rank: 389th), Kenny Hallaert (2011 PTPR Rank: 1039th) and Peter Ippolito (2011 PTPR Rank: 1487th) all score in this event.
