When Day 4 of the $3,500 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” Championship kicked off, just 18 players remained from the 766-entry field, with Jake Bazeley sitting on the second-shortest stack, albeit with 23 big blinds. By the time the final table of six was reached, Bazeley sat in fourth place and still in contention for the $568,687 first-place prize. And just a short while ago, Bazeley completed the comeback, outlasting David Prociak to win the title.
I wanted to recognize Bazeley for one reason — the guy is always going deep.
