You might think play would move along at a leisurely pace with the deep stacks and amount of money at stake. But they are cruising right along to lose eight players before you could ask “who’s playing in the super high-roller”.

They were breaking up a table when last year’s champion Blair Hinkle was all-in against Russell Thomas. Hinkle’s title defense ended with against Thomas’ . The flop and turn and turn were kind to the former November Niner to send Hinkle to the rail in 54th.

The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open will have a new champion.

Shoved the dead man's hand on @RunGoodRussell and he had 55 and called. He made quads. Dead in 54th. #SHRPO #fb
