2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 16 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/500)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 105
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 14/105
Flight 1C hung on to become the first flight to play through the scheduled sixteen levels, and it took each and every hand to determine the chip leader. It looked as if Jaime Wiegrefe was going to walk away with the Event 14 seat, but that was until Steven Cohen and Roy Paulena got locked up on the last hand of the afternoon.
Action in the hand was caught on the turn of a board reading 3♥ 5♦ 4♠ K♥, with Cohen placing forward a bet of 35,000. Paulena casually made the call, and the two would watch as the dealer placed down the 9♣ on the river. With the pot already over 100,000, and Paulena sitting with close to 70,000 behind, Cohen announced that he was all-in. "It just feels like you're continuing a bluff...I've made it this far, I call," said Paulena. Cohen then rolled over 9♥ 9♠, riveting a set, and garnering a collective reaction from the table. Paulena flashed his hand (3♠ 5♠), having flopped two pair, but it was all window dressing.
Tournament Director Ralph Brandt then broke out the bags, and the remaining (14) players began to pack up their chips. The official counts will be posted shortly, but Steven Cohen is officially the Flight 1C chip leader, earning the $1,100 seat.
