FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1A): Frank Scala Climbs The Leaderboard, Sends Nakonechnny To The Rail

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 5 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 98

Frank Scala (Boca Raton, FL) hopes to emulate his run from Event #1 of the 2018 Battles At The Beach, when he took fourth place money, in a five-way chop (worth $10,578).

Frank Scala (Boca Raton, FL) was standing at Table 1, clearly interested in the hand unfolding in front of him.  Frank was all-in against Yaroslav Nakonechnny, but was not at risk, just looking for his hand to hold up.  The two players got it in on a flop of A♣ 7♣ 6♠, with Scala holding A♠ 6♣, against Yaroslav's J♣ 4♣.  The turn and river would run out clean for Scala, who picked up the 20,000 chip pot, bringing his total stack to 75,000.  That is currently one of the largest stacks in the field, as the registration window begins to close (two full levels of open registration remain).

Frank Scala - 75,000 (150bb)
