FSPC Event #1 (Day 2): Jake Embres Eliminated By Steve Legault In 8th Place ($3,675)

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 31 (Blinds 80,000/160,000/160,000)
Total Entries: 1,227
Players Remaining: 7


Jake Embres (Coral Springs, FL) would be the first player eliminated from the Event #1 final table, bricking out against Steve Legault's top pair.

Just fifteen minutes ago, Adel Jo was left with less than a big blind, but was able to spin that back up to 800,000.  Those that thought they were getting a sure pay-jump were now thinking about somehow doubling as well, which is where Jake Embres found himself.  After two players limped for 160,000, Embres completed the small blind, and Coughlin would check the big blind.

The dealer place down a flop of K 3 2, with Embres immediately announcing himself all-in, for just over 1,000,000.  Players folded to Steve Legault on the button, who would toss in a chip for a call:

Embres: 3 6(pair and flush draw)
Legault: K 10♠ (top pair)

Turn: Q♠ 
River: 4♠

Embres missed his outs to a win, and would be the first player eliminated from the Event #1 final table, collecting $3,675 for his efforts.
