FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1C): Scott Hecker Doubles Up, Just Weeks Removed From Career Best Cash

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 5 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 78


Scott Hecker (Boca Raton, FL) had a plan limping with a big hand, and it just so happened to unfold exactly how we would have liked it to.

After limping under the gun with A K, Scott Hecker (Boca Raton, FL) would watch as a player from middle position raised to 2,200, with just the big blind calling.  With action now back on Hecker, he would shove for 12,600, followed by the original raiser re-shoving for over 20,000.  The player in the big blind folded, and Hecker would be racing for his tournament life:

Hecker: A♣ K♠
A. Nonymous: 9 9

Runout: A♠ 3♠ Q♠ 10 10♠

Scott would spike an ace on the flop to make the lead, and end up with a flush after the runout was completed.  Scott saves himself a buy-in with the double up, and looks to now run this stack up to a manageable number for Day 2.  Just three weeks ago, Hecker took second place money in a chop of the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), worth $10,976.  It was his largest career cash, and helped bring his overall earnings to $62,280.

Scott Hecker - 28,000 (56bb)
