FSPC Event 1 (Flight 1C): Cohen Climbing, While Davis Somehow Stays In

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 14 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/400)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 105
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 22/105

Steven Cohen assumed the chip lead just a few minutes ago, after his A♠ Jheld against Smith's A 9 on an A♣ 67♠ flop.  Smith was all-in for about half the average (50,000), but was unable to come from behind to steal the pot away.  That pot brings Cohen just over 200,000, making him the only play above that mark in the field.

Richard Davis continued his roller coaster day after losing a hand to Kyle Maistri, but he must feel like he'd free rolling after having not been eliminated.  In a blind v. blind situation, Davis called a raise from Kyle pre-flop, and decided to call the flop and turn with 5 6♣ on a 6 7♠ 10♣ 4 board (having flopped a pair, and turned open-ended).  The board would complete with an 8 on the river, giving Davis the straight, but he chose to check-back after Maistri checked river.  Davis rolled over his hand, but Kyle showed 8♣ 9♠, having flopped the straight and besting Richard's eight-high straight.

Steven Cohen - 219,000
Kyle Maistri - 160,000
Richard Davis - 55,000
