FSPC Event 14 (Flight 1A): Kay Takes A Break To Join The Action

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 14 - $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($150,000 GTD)
Level 3 (Blinds 75/150)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 30

Joshua Kay (Boca Raton, FL) 

Joshua Kay (Boca Raton, FL) is a pillar of the largest cash games in this poker room, and while many of the players he usually shares the tables with will enter FSPC events in the next two weeks, Kay is the first from the group in Event #14.  Kay's tournament resume is beyond impressive, with almost $1,000,000 in live tournament earnings.  

From 2008-2014, Joshua's tournament resume boasted results from all over the country, with nine five-figure scores over that span.  His largest result during that period was for just over $66,000, when he finished fourth in a $555 No Limit Hold'em WSOPC event at Palm Beach Kennel Club.  Then came the 2015 PCA, and the $2,643 No Limit Hold'em LAPT Bahamas Main Event.  Kay would best a field of (532) entries, and a stacked final table, to earn the title (and just under $368,000).  It still stands as Joshua's largest tournament score, and was well deserving, after besting names like Martin Finger, Taylor Paur, Jonathan Borenstein, Mustapha Kanit, and Galen Hall (just to name a few).

Kay then earned his second six-figure score earlier this year, finishing seventh in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale ($109,412).  Of the (54) results on Kay's resume, only one has come here at the Isle Casino Poker Room.  So while there are many accolades to speak of, Kay still has some room on his mantel for another trophy.
