Event 21 was the last Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Big 4 tournament to form its final table and the $1.100 buy-in tournament might be the first to crown its champion. The tournament reached nine players at 3 am and the final table return on Tuesday at 1 pm to take the stage on the Poker Night in America live-stream.

Cangir Elcin leads the return with plenty of tough players behind including Jack Duong, Corey Hochman, and SHR Tampa champ Mario De La Puente.

Here’s a look at the final table lineup.

Seat 1: Jack Duong
Chip Count – 2,395,000

Jack Duong is from South Plainfield, New Jersey, and he is 30 years old. Duong has career live tournament earnings of $2,040,900.

Seat 2: Cangir Elcin
Chip Count – 3,040,000

Cangir Elcin will be the chip leader at the start of play at the final table after a strong run during the play-down stretch late last night.

The 53-year-old is originally from Turkey, and he now lives in Miami, Florida. His career tournament earnings currently stand at $99,707, and he should add to that total considerably at the final table.

Seat 3: David Castranova
Chip Count – 835,000

Seminole Hard Rock regular and cash game pro David Castranova is from right here in Hollywood, Florida. The 42-year-old is married to his wife Amanda, and they have a daughter named Alexandra.

Seat 4: Keith Brennan
Chip Count – 865,000

Keith Brennan is from Ashbourne, Ireland, and the 33-year-old poker pro was formerly a bartender. He takes $263,814 in career earning into the final table. His largest previous score was for $36,648, and it came at the Unibet Open in Dublin back in 2018.

Seat 5: Gary Leibovitz
Chip Count – 910,000 (30 bb)

Gary Leibovitz is a 54-year-old realtor from Chicago, Illinois. He listed a third-place finish at the WSOP Circuit Hammond Main Event as his biggest poker accomplishment, and indeed it is since it accounts for $80,796 of his career earnings worth $150,230.

Seat 6: Corey Hochman
Chip Count – 670,000

Corey Hochman is an ophthalmologist from Phoenix, Arizona. The 44-year-old is no stranger to tournament poker with three top-10 finishes on the World Poker Tour. Hochman holds career earnings of $1,397,062.

His girlfriend Jeannette Mendez took 20th place in the $2,650 event here at SHRPO. Hochman said he always tries to make the poker play that Stan Jablonski would make, and he also wanted to give a shout out to Drew Wilmoy.

Seat 7: John Michalak
Chip Count – 865,000

John Michalak is married with one child, and the 54-year-old real estate owner resides in Cleveland, Ohio. His career earnings stand at $276,063.

The former concert club owner and promoter has written a book about the music business. Michalak can also claim three Heartland Poker Tour final table appearances, two MSPT final tables, and a WSOP Main Event cash in his poker achievements.

Seat 8: Mario De La Puente
Chip Count – 795,000

Mario De La Puente is another local player at the final table who hails from just down the road in Miami, Florida. The 28-year-old card dealer already calls making this final table his greatest poker achievement, and he can add a nice amount to his career earnings of $180,409 later today when cards get back into the air.

Seat 9: Brock Wilson
Chip Count – 365,000

Brock Wilson is a 25-year-old poker pro from Ardsley, New York who has also worked in finance. Wilson will be the short stack at the start of play at the final table.
