Poker player Noah Schwartz won the 2012 WPT Jacksonville this week and the $402,970 cash prize that came with that honor.

Schwartz has had an amazing run this year with a fourth final table appearance in 2012.  He finished 6th at the EPT Grand Final High Roller, 4th in the WPT LA Poker Classic Main Event and won the $5000 Pot-Limit Omaha Prelim at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.  This has netted Schwartz just shy of $1.1 million this year alone. 

Finishing second at the WPT Jacksonville with $236,592 was Byron Kaverman.  His live tournament winnings to date are just over $1.2 million. 

Here is a look at the payouts and POY points awarded at this final table:
