Event 14 (Day 2): Couden's Seen Worse Flops

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)

Joseph Couden (Blacklick, OH)

Two years ago, Joseph Couden (Blacklick, OH) won the 2015 Florida State Poker Championship $1,500 Main Event ($154,762), a tournament score that still stands as the largest on his resume ($1,172,911 total).  Couden is looking to make another deep run, and after doubling through Daren Stabinski, Joey is above average for the first time all day.  The two would get it in pre-flop for a pot worth 240,000, with Couden holding 9♠ 9♣ against Stabinski's A♠ Q♣.  Daren would be drawing super slim after the 97♠ 7 flop, needing running aces or queens to make a better full house.  Stabinski would be drawing dead on the turn, and Couden would earn the full double.

Joseph Couden - 240,000
Daren Stabinski - 165,000
