The World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown (SHPRS) Championship reached its final six players on Tuesday with Arthur Peacock leading the way as the only player with over a hundred big blinds.

The $3,500 buy-in event at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in South Florida drew 1,755 runners for a prize pool of $5,616,000. The final table also includes Jeffery Fritz, Mitchell Hynam, Jared Hemingway, Daniel Marcus and Mihai Niste.

2	Jeffery Fritz	16,150,000	65
3	Mitchell Hynam	2,000,000	8

Six Experienced Players

With $1,719,877 in Hendon Mobearnings, Florida local Peacock is one of the more experienced players at the final table. Only Romania's Niste, who in January finished runner-up in the Merit Poker Western Series Main Event for $251,000, has more Hendon Mobearnings with $2,241,302.

That said, there is still plenty of experience among the rest of the final table. Texas' Hemingway has $969,162 in live earnings, while England's Hynam boasts $715,522 in earnings.

That's a little less than the $776,000 that will go to the eventual winner, who will also receive a $10,400 WPT seat.

According to WPT live updates, Rafael Rodriguez was eliminated in seventh place on the televised final table bubble as his ace-four couldn't improve against the chip leader's pocket eights.

Others who made deep runs in the event include Frank Funaro (11th - $65,000), David Moses (21st - $38,500) and WPT champions Brian Altman (18th - $45,500) Asher Conniff (18th - $45,500) and Harrison Gimbel (32nd - $27,500).
