FSPC Main Event (Day 3): Shalmi Left Short After Big Pot Against Josias Santos

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 20 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 548
Players Remaining: 10/548



Josias Santos (Kissimmee, FL)

Action folded around to Devon Shalmi on the button, who would open the pot for a raise.  Both blinds would come along (Santos and Daryl Jace), as the three watched the dealer put out a flop of K K 6.  Santos and Jace checked, allowing Shalmi to continue for 125,000.  Josias Santos would then check-raise to 400,000, with Daryl folding his hand.  Devon thought for a few moments, before announcing that he was all-in, with Santos quickly calling.  Josias was the player at risk, but he'd be in strong position to double, holding K♠ 9♠ against Shalmi's 10 8.  The turn (8&clubs) would pair Shalmi's eight, but he needed a diamond to steal the pot for Josias.  The 2♣ would fall on the river, helping Santos double up to over 2,200,000, and leaving Shalmi with less than 350,000.

Josias Santos - 2,225,000
Devon Shalmi - 330,000
