Isle Open Event 1 (Flight 1A): Scala's Fortunate Runout Not So Fortunate For Donald Gordon

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 113
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 47

Frank Scala (Boca Raton, FL) goes runner-runner to eliminated Donald Gordon, and is currently peaking for the day.

The field continues to shrink at a rapid pace, as many of the short stacked players are dropping, after picking unsuccessful spots.  Donald Gordon, who was featured earlier in the day, seemed to have found a great spot to double-up.  Gordon got his final 18,000 chips in holding A 8♣ against Frank Scala's 97, on a flop of 8♠ 7♣ 4♣.  The 10♠ on the turn would help give Scala some extra outs, as he stood from his chair, with the river yet to come.  Scala would complete the unlikely comeback on the river, as he made a straight with the J♠, and clenched his fist in celebration. 

Gordon would be eliminated from Flight 1A play, while Scala brings his stack closer to the 48,000 chip average.

Frank Scala - 43,500 (43bb)
