FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1A): Nelson Armas The First To Eclipse The Century Mark

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/600)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 101

Nelson Armas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) is all smiles as the early Flight 1A chip leader, already looking forward, towards the "chip lead bonus."

The first player to reach the century mark is a milestone in each opening flight that is covered on the blog, with Nelson Armas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) claiming stake to that title today.  Armas could be seen motioning to his friend a few tables away, showing his buddy the stack that sat in front of him.  Armas sits comfortably with 128,000, which is far and away the largest total at the moment.  Research shows that Armas has over $32,000 in live tournament earnings, all of which came from one result.  Nelson took second place in the $545 No Limit Hold'em event that ran during the 2017 Wynn Fall Classic ($32,071).  He would fall to notable poker professional Scott Clements, but still walk away with a very respectable number.  

Nelson Armas - 128,000 (213bb)
