FSPC Event 1 (Flight 1A): No "Blogger's Curse" Here At The Isle

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 96

While the majority of players enjoy getting mentioned on the blog, there is a small minority that thinks it's some sort of "bad luck."  Clearly there is no "blogger's curse" in this poker room, as two of the players mentioned on the blog earlier are on the top of the leaderboard (Zoltan Czinkota and Stephen Smith).  Smith earned himself "double" moments ago, as he saw what was left of Eric Pideret's 20,000 starting stack shipped his way.

On a flop of Q 7♣ 7, Smith checked to Piderit, who announced a bet of 3,200.  Smith quickly tossed forward a check-raise to 16,000, which was enough to cover Piderit.  Eric held up his cards saying, "The same pair five times...the same pair five times."  He eventually tabled his hand while simultaneously calling, with his 4 4well behind the K♣ Q♠ of Smith.  The turn and river both missed Piderit, who would be left to collect his things and exit the tournament table.

Stephen Smith - 45,000
