Anthony Ruberto defeated Sam Soverel heads-up to take down the WPT Jacksonville $3,500 main event title, earning $325,928 for by far the the biggest win of his poker career.
Ruberto, a Florida native, topped a field of 393 players at the Orange Park Kennel Club just south of Jacksonville. This solid turnout generated a $1,277,250 prize pool, the largest ever in North Florida.
Joining Ruberto at the final table was fellow Floridian and previous WPT finalist Darryll Fish, and the 2009 World Series of Poker ladies event champion Lisa Hamilton.
