Luis Santoni of Pembroke Pines became the first Floridian to cash twice at this year’s World Series of Poker, as he was one of 24 players from Florida to cash in Event #4 ($1,000 "stimulus special" no-limit). The event drew 6,012 players – making it the largest non-Main Event poker tournament in history. The WSOP estimates 800-1,000 more players wished to play in the soldout event.
