FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1A): Jose Parra Straight Flushes His Way To An 80,000 Chip Stack

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/800)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 102

Jose Parra (Hialeah Gardens, FL) not only chipped up to double the average stack, but also had an opportunity to win the half hour's high hand.

"High hand, Table 3," could be heard across the poker room, as the dealer was notifying a supervisor about Jose Parra's ten-high straight flush.  The table was approached just as the stacks were being counted down, with the following hands face up:

Jose Parra: 6♣ 9♣
Richard Wetter: 6 9
A. Nonymous: J♠ 8♠

Board: 6♠ 10♣ 9 7♣ 8♣

It was an adventurous hand for Parra, who flopped a combo draw, and rivered the straight-flush.  Parra knocked out the unknown player from Flight 1A action, while seeing his 30,000 chip stack matched by Richard Wetter.

Jose Parra - 82,000 (102bb)

Players will be taking their second break of the day after this level, with the registration window closed for Flight 1A, once the cards get in the air for Level 9.
