The 2016 Coco Poker Spring Series ran April 20-May 2 at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in Coconut Creek, Fla. The 13-tournament series boasted more than $475,000 in guarantees and saw Hector Pacheco nab the title in the premier event — a $350 buy-in, $250,000 guaranteed event.

Pacheco bested 934 entries to earn $63,000. Joining him as a series headliner were James Newcomb and Andrew Bennis. While Newcomb won two events, it was Bennis who took the top spot on the points leaderboard and earned a bonus payout of $1,000.
