I apologize for the pun ... just thought of it this morning and somehow secretly hoped Anthony Ruberto would win so I can use it in the headline.
Anthony Ruberto has indeed picked up the big win in Jacksonville - picking up his first WPT title and his third PTPR Score of the season.
Ruberto entered final table play with the big stack and he continued to pickup chips as the day continued...
PTPR LEADERBOARD LIVE LOOK-IN:

Lisa Hamilton was trying to become the first woman to win a open WPT title. The 2009 WSOP Ladies Champion was unable to win but, a third place finish, and a +110K cashout is nothing to sneeze at.
Local favourite Darryll Fish was hoping for a miracle - entering final table play as the short stack, Fish was unable to make anything happen and was the first man out.
