FSPC Main Event (Day 3): Russo Picked Off By Newman, Departs In 12th Place ($11,726)

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 20 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 548
Players Remaining: 11/548


Frank Russo (Pompano Beach, FL) 12th Place $11,276

After action at Table 3 folded to Michael Newman, he would open for a raise, with Frank Russo calling out of the small blind.  Both players started the hand with under half the chip average, and after the K♠ 3 4 flop, Russo shoved for close to 400,000.  Newman made the call, turning over his A 5, and waiting for Frank to table his hand.  Russo didn't seem to want to show his holdings, but eventually turned over Q J.  "I need a black jack," Russo said as he stood from the table.  Frank's final table hopes would be dashed after the 3♣ on the turn, and A♣ on the river.

The Pompano Beach local earns his largest cash ($11,276) since 2014, and first tournament score since October of last year (Venetian).

Michael Newman - 1,200,000
Frank Russo - 12th Place - $11,726
