FSPC Event 7 (Flight 1C): Updated Chip Counts At The "Race" Heats Up

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 7 - $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 13 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 131
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 42/131


Tracy Scala (Delray Beach, FL) 

The race for the flight's chip lead is beginning to take form, as a handful of players have gained some separation from the field.  Leading the way as Level 13 runs down is Tracy Scala (Delray Beach, FL), a player with just under $370,000 in career tournament earnings, but only one cash in the last four years.  The bulk of Scala's tournament poker resume comes from 2005-2009, with a highlighting cash during the Sixth Annual Jack Binion World Poker Open Main Event ($10,000 No Limit Hold'em).  Scala finished seventh in that tournament for over $192,000, and shared that final table with players like Daniel Negreanu, Scotty Nguyen, Michael Mizrachi, and Chau Giang.  It's been a while since Scala has been "relevant" on the tournament poker scene, but he's on his way to a comfortable Day 2 bag, and potentially an Event #14 seat.

Tracy Scala - 185,000
Robbie Capote - 180,000
David Shaw - 148,000
Ory Hen - 120,000
Izzy Patel - 115,000
Juan Garcia - 110,000
