Season 5 of WPTDeepStacks rolled on this week with poker’s premier mid-major tournament circuit hitting Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida, for WPTDeepStacks Tampa. The $1,100 Main Event was one to remember. First-time champion Quentin Jones (pictured above) scored the $116,435 first-place prize, while last season’s first- and second-place finishers, Rex Clinkscales and Michael Cohen, both reached the final table.

“It feels great,” Jones said right after the victory. “It’s an amazing feeling. I’m happy to be here playing the WPTDeepStacks, and you’ll definitely see me back again.”

The score proved the largest of Jones’ young poker career, but it wasn’t the first time in the winner’s circle. Earlier in the Season 5 WPTDeepStacks Tampa series, Jones took first place in the third event of the festival, a $350 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament. He topped a field of 560 entries in that event and took home $31,987.

“I’ve been playing well all weekend, running well,” Jones said. “It’s just an amazing feeling. Hands holding up, and that’s all you can ask in poker – to play well and have your hands hold up, and that’s what happened for me this weekend. I’m happy and honored to be able to take down two trophies in the same week. I’ll definitely be playing more WPTDeepStacks tournaments now, and it feels great.”

Needless to say, it was quite the week of poker for Jones!
