With an average stack of just five big bets, a shorstacked Al Green got his last 5,000 in the middle in a four-way pot. After some side action, the hands were tabled and Green was unable to best the ace-deuce low of one opponent or the ace-high flush of another. He busted 9th earning $662.

After about 45 minutes of bubble play, Harry Eisenberg did the dirty work busting an unknown player 13th and sending the final 12 into the money. One player happy to squeak into a payday is Jordan Chizick. Chizick owns two Omaha/8 victories at the Seminole Hard Rock, but has his work cut out for him if he hopes to add a third. He currently claims less than two big bets with the final table right around the corner.

Here’s a look at what they remaining 12 are playing for:

1st – $6,603
2nd – $4,624
3rd – $2,972

Flight D Entrants: 303

John Christian Templeton burst on to the Seminole Hard Rock Poker scene just about a year ago when he won the Winter Poker Open Championship in Tampa. Templeton pocketed north of $130,000 for that victory, but more importantly, got some confidence early in the SHRP season and rode his good play into contention for the Player of the Year. He went on to finish 9th in the Seminole Immokalee Poker Challenge Championship and ultimately finished 5th in the POY race.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open marks Templeton’s 2016/2017 season debut and he’s off to a decent start in Flight D of the $1,000,000 guarantee.
