$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock RRPO Championship
Level 30: 50,000/100,000 with a 15,000 ante
Players Remaining: 6 of 760

The $3,500 Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open Championship began this past weekend with a huge field of 760 entries. After four days of action, just six of them remain in contention for the title and the top prize of more than $560,000.

The day started with Upeshka De Silva holding a sizable chip lead as the final 18 players returned to the felt. Robert Womack was the first to fall, losing a flip with pocket fives to Patrick Mahoney’s ace-ten to exit in 18th place. He was followed by Neal Corcoran and then WPT Champion Will Failla, who had the shortest stack of less than 10 big blinds when play began. Failla outlasted a couple players before being eliminated in 16th place.

It was another coin flip that took the tournament life of Zoltan Czinkota in 15th place. The gregarious local grinder took his pocket eights up against John Curcuru’s king-jack suited, and a king on the river sent Czinkota to the payout desk with another near miss and a pay bump up over $20,000. He was soon followed to the exit by Fariborz Zojaji, Jacobo Fernandez, John Curcuru, and Gerald Karlic to reduce the field to the ten-handed final table.

While the first three and a half days belonged to “Pesh”, the second half of Day 4 belonged to Matt Humphrey. Humphrey was second in chips when they combined around the final table, but he and De Silva tangled in a pair of big pots with 10 players remaining. The first was a five-bet shove from Humphrey, in which he took a stand behind a De Silva open/four-bet. The second one reversed the stacks, with Humphrey dragging a monster after flopping queens full with pocket queens in the hole.

From that point, it took about four more hours to trim the field to six and bring the bags out for the night. Colossus Champion Ben Keeline was eliminated in 10th place, running his last few chips and ace-jack suited into John Spadavecchia Jr.’s pocket kings. Another dangerous player, Ari Engel, went out in ninth after Upeshka De Silva four-bet shoved on him with ace-three of diamonds and Engel’s pocket jacks could not fade an ace-high flop.

Spadavecchia was the next man out, finding himself on the losing end of a race with ace-king against Mark Dube’s pocket jacks. Matthew Zarcadoolas was the extreme short stack when the next level began with a 100,000 big blind, and he three-bet shoved his last few chips with six-seven in the big blind, behind a Mahoney open. Mahoney flopped a ten, and Zarcadoolas could not catch up to stave off a seventh-place elimination.

That left six players remaining and signaled the end of play for Day 4. Here’s the remaining lineup:

Seat 1: Upeshka De Silva – 5,550,000 (56 bb)
Seat 2: Billy Pilossoph – 1,595,000 (16 bb)
Seat 3: Mark Dube – 2,020,000 (20 bb)
