FSPC Main Event (Flight 1A): Fawbush Finds The One (Out) To Bust Nassetta

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 20 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 12 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 125
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 38

Justin Fawbush (Cocoa Beach, FL)

There are certain hands in poker that leave a player shaking their head, and others that just seem unbelievable.  Keith Nassetta was all-in and at risk against Justin Fawbush moments ago, holding middle set against Justin's bottom set.  The chips got in on the Q♠ J♣ 7♥ flop, with Nassetta holding J♠ J♦, and Justin 7♠ 7♦.  The K♣ on the turn left Nassetta one card away from a late stage double...but not the card that fell on the river.  Keith stood from his chair after the case seven (7♣) appeared, saying aloud to the table, "how is that even possible?"

The one-outer helped Fawbush chip up to 140,000, which is well above the current average of 101,000.  The tournament clock will be paused when 10:00 minutes remain, at which point a predetermined amount of hands will be played to end the night.  The bagging process will then commence, followed by a full list of Flight 1A chip counts.
