$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” Championship
Level 19: 4,000/8,000/1,000 Ante

Justin Zaki’s luck finally ran out.

On a flop of 3hJcQh, Zaki went over the top for his tournament life after a bet from Mike Newman holding KsKc against Newman’s Ah9h.  Zaki’s lead would not hold up as the board ran out 4c8h giving Newman the flush and sending Zaki to the payout window.

Newman goes to 323,000 chips with the win and taking the field down to 58 players remaining.
