Isle Open Event 1 (Flight 1A): Darcy Deconza Doubles Through Elsie, As Flight Reaches Final Break

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 12 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 113
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 36

Darcy Deconza (Hollywood, FL) doubles up, and sits with a top-ten stack heading to the final break of Flight 1A.

The words "all-in" could be heard from across the room, as the dealer at Table 3 made sure everyone knew the action.  It would be Darcy Deconza (Hollywood, FL) four-bet shoving for 42,400, over an open from Frank Scala, and a 20,000 three-bet from Elsie Rodrigues (a former dealer here at the Isle Poker Room).  Scala ended up releasing his hand when faced with the four-bet, but Elsie would make the call, having Deconza covered (by just a few thousand).

When the hands were turned over, it would be Deconza's Q♥ Q♣ well ahead of the J♠ J♥ of Rodrigues.  Elsie would actually gain some outs heading to the river (9♠ 9♣ 8♥ 7♣ runout to that point), but bricked when the 4♣ hit the felt.  Darcy would more than double to 90,000, while Elsie found herself with less than three big blinds (5,000).

Darcy Deconza - 90,000
Elsie Rodrigues - 5,000

Players are heading on their final break at the end of this level, and will be returning to Level 13, with new blinds of 1,000/2,000/300.  There will then be four more levels of play scheduled, before the bagging process begins after Level 16.
