FSPC Event 7 (Flight 1A): "Fear The Beard"

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 7 - $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 131


Nathan Pitts (Canton, GA)

Moments ago, Nathan Pitts (Canton, GA) was part of a three-way all-in with Nicholas Chiappetta and Paul Shafran, having both players covered and holding A♠ A.  Pitts would be up against Shafran's Q♠ Q♣  and Chiappetta's A♣ K♠, as the three watched the dealer run out a board of JK 6♠ 6♣ 9.  Pitts saw his pocket aces hold up, and he'd win a pot worth over 40,000, bringing his stack to close to 85,000.  That stack puts him in the top five of the field, with updated chip counts to be published following the break after this level.

Once that break is over, and the cards are in the air for Level 9, registration will be closed for this flight.  Over $40,000 will be going towards the overall prize pool from this flight, leading "those in the know" to believe that we may have another massive prize pool for this second major of the series.  When play does resume, players will be posted new blinds of 400/800/100.
