WPT HARD ROCK: SEROCK CRUSHING ON WAY TO THE FINAL TABLE

PICTURE: WORLD POKER TOUR

It seems like for days this has been the Joe Serock, John Dolan and Tommy Vedes show at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida.

Well, as our final six participants are now known for Monday's World Poker Tour Final Table, wouldn't you know that all three have continued their mastery on the felt at the Hard Rock.

For a time on Sunday, it looked as if Serock (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 112th) would not be part of the final table as he dusted off half of his stack early on. But then, a much needed double up and Serock would not be denied. Serock will enter final table play as the overwhelming cihp leader.

Dolan (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 32nd) held the chip lead for a while on Sunday. The Florida native will certainly have the support of his home-state crowd on Monday.

For Vedes, it's a second straight final table participation in this event. Vedes (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) finished sixth at WPT Seminole Hard Rock last season, he enters final table play in sixth position - Vedes sure hopes to do better than that on Monday.

Craig Bergeron, WPT Lucky Hearts final table participant Sharon Levin (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-163rd) and Kyle Bowker round-up the final table.
