Faraz Jaka is the Season VIII Player of the Year

 With Shawn Buchanan’s elimination in 3rd place, Faraz Jaka has officially locked up the honor of WPT Player of the Year for Season VIII.  Jaka posted a 2nd place finish at Bellagio Cup at the start of the season and followed that up with a 3rd place showing at the Five Diamond at Bellagio.

It is somewhat fitting then, that Jaka locks up the prestigious title at none other than the Bellagio for the WPT Championship.
