WPT HARD ROCK: SEROCK AND ROLL - JOE SEROCK FIRST AT THE HARD ROCK

PICTURE: WORLD POKER TOUR

Joseph Serock (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 110th) continues to roll at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Main Event. Serock entered today's play second in chips. Well, he did one better on Saturday, earning the overnight chip lead as only 15 players remain at the Hard Rock.



Like Serock, former November Niner John Dolan (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 32nd) was busy working his way up the chip charts on Friday. Although he falls one spot to fourth, Dolan still holds a 900K chip stack and will look to gain even more ground on Sunday.

Tommy Vedes (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) is the only former WPT Champion still in the field. Vedes' chip stack is below average, but no one should count out the former WPT Festa al Lago Champ.
