FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1G): Graffeo Looking To Add Some Hardware To The Mantle

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/200)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 94

Michael Graffeo (Boca Raton, FL) has a number of sizable scores on his resume, including a final table finish in the $1,500 NLH Main Event during the 2017 Battles At The Beach.

To no surprise, this opening Sunday flight is off to a screaming start, with almost (100) entries at the start of Level 3.  We can liken today to a Saturday during our normally scheduled multis, with players knowing these two flights are their final opportunities to grab a piece of the growing prize pool.  Michael Graffeo (Boca Raton, FL) was seated early, and is looking to put himself in position to grab his first Isle Poker trophy.  His mantle is already populated with a pretty prestigious trophy, winning the WPT DeepStacks $1,100 NLH Main Event at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.  He bested a field of 1,509 entries to ship the trophy, and the $290,687 that came along with it.  Graffeo's tournament resume, which is one of the more impressive in the room, currently boasts over $624,000 in earnings.

Michael makes up the large group of notables in this Flight 1G field, a list that includes names like:

Ory Hen
Steve Zukowski
Kevin Scarola
Joseph Mancuso
Al Gomez
Irwin Block
Evan Teitelbaum
Preecha Taepakdee
Diane Linke
Marc Duqeutte
