FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1C): Patience Always (Well Sometimes) Works For Hagensick

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 13 (Blinds 1,500/2,500/2,500)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 102
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 26


Rocco Arelop wasn't hovering around the chip average (78,000), but used to big hands to propel himself to the Flight 1C chip lead.

Just a few hands before the most recent break, Elizabeth Hagensick was short stacked, but got in all-in with a dominating lead (pocket tens versus pocket deuces).  She would end up doubling, and preached that it was "all about patience."  Then, with two minutes remaining in Level 12, Hagensick would find herself all-in once again (for a sizable pot worth close to 120,000), and held a dominating lead once again:

Hagensick: A♠ A♣
Rocco Arelop: Q Q

Runout: Q♠ 9♣ 7 10♠ 9♠

"Don't do that," Hagensick said, as she saw the queen right in the window.  The runout would not bring any help to Elizabeth, and she'd be eliminated just before break.

Rocco Arelop - 255,000 (101bb)
