FSPC Event 14 (Flight 1C): Late Arriving Crowd Continues To File In

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 14 - $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($150,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 96

Victor Figueroa (Miami, FL)

When a tournament allows for players to buy-in during Level 7 with (50) big blinds, you're going to see a good amount of bigger names arrive fashionably late.  Since play resumed just over forty minutes ago, the has been a new table added to the field, and a handful of new faces in the crowd.  Victor Figueroa (Miami, FL) is one of those recent arrivals, sitting down with an impressive tournament resume, boasting over $775,000 in earnings.  Figueroa broke out on the scene in 2012, winning a WPT Regional $1,650 NLH event at Seminole Hard Rock, during the Rock And Roll Poker Open ($105,000).  Victor would see continued success over the next five years, but another six-figure score eluded him...until earlier this year.  He would chop the opening event of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($360 No Limit Hold'em) with Jerry Wong and Nancy Thomas, earning $103,826 for his efforts.  Figueroa returns to action after a WSOP summer with four cashes, and joins the likes of:
