FSPC Event 1 (Flight 1E): Bartholomew Opens Up An Early Lead

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 144


Jason Bartholomew (Sarasota, FL) 

The early leader in the Flight 1E field is currently Jason Bartholomew (Sarasota, FL), who won a sizable pot after a player shoved into him on a flop of 7♠ 2♠ 4♣.  Bartholomew was in the lead with 4♥ 4, but his set was vulnerable against his opponent's 3♠ 4♠.  The 5 on the turn would only add to his opponent's equity, but after the board paired on the river, Bartholomew would be pushed the pot.  Jason is now up to 65,000, and while he may not be familiar to followers of the blog, he's definitely a player to look out for.

Bartholomew may not have recorded a cash in the past two years, but he has over $120,000 in live tournament earnings, including a trophy win at SHR during the 2014 Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($560  No Limit Hold'em - $81,823).
