FSPC Event #14 (Day 1D): Eric Polirer Runs Out Pure, To Knock Out Johnny Chan

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/600)
Total Day 1D Entries: 152
Day 1D Players Remaining: 101

Eric Polirer (Coral Springs, FL) now has a story to tell, after eliminating the great Johnny Chan from the 2018 Florida State Poker Championship Main Event.

After quick start the day, Johnny Chan returned from dinner with a stack that was less than ten big blinds.  On one of the final hands of Level 6, Chan would be all-in for 6,300, and called by Eric Polirer:

Polirer: K♠ 10♠
Chan: A♠ 4♠

Runout: Q2 8 9 J♠

Having the spades covered going in, Chan would become a big favorite on the turn, but the turn and river would bring Polirer a straight.  Johnny would collect his things and exit the table, with his return to the field still in question.

Eric Polirer - 21,000 (35bb)
