FSPC Event #9 (Flight 1B): Marc Levy Doubles Up On His First Hand Back From Vegas

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #9 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/400)
Total Flight 1B Entries: 35

Marc Levy (Boynton Beach, FL) took little time getting acclimated to his Flight 1B table, doubling his starting stack within the first ten minutes of play.

There was a new table opened in the field (Table 9), which ended up hosting a group of late arriving players, including the likes of Brett Bader, Noel Atherley, Jason Atherley, and Marc Levy.  Levy, who had just returned from a summer in Las Vegas, did a bunch of folding to start his afternoon.  He would open his first pot played with a raise, and got called by Jason Atherley.  The two would see a flop of Q 7♣ 9♠, with Levy continuing, and Atherley calling in position.  After the 5 fell on the turn, Levy would bet once again (for approximately 6,500), and watched as Atherley clicked it back.  The min-raise was very alarming to Levy, who said aloud to Jason, "Wow, did you really just turn the nuts?"  

While that particular hand range crossed Levy's mind, he still decided to three-bet shove, having Atherley covered.  Jason made the call, with his A Qdrawing dead against the Q♣ Q♠ of Marc Levy.  The A on the river completed the board, but it just served as a little needle for Atherley.  It's safe to say that Marc is happy to be back in Florida, as he sits with over 60,000, just a few hands into his afternoon.

Marc Levy - 62,000 (155bb)
