FSPC Event #14 (Day 1D): Scott Baumstein Pushes Forward Florida Arrival Time, Takes His Seat In Day 1D Field

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/800)
Total Day 1D Entries: 166
Day 1D Players Remaining: 92

Scott Baumstein (New York, NY) chose to arrive in Florida a few days earlier than planned, looking to make some noise in this FSPC Main Event.

Scott Baumstein (New York, NY) spent most of his poker career traveling around the world playing tournaments, but bypassed the state of Florida for a long time.  His first recorded cash in Florida came in 2016, and since that point, he's added the "Sunshine State" as a spot on his traveling schedule.  Earlier this year, he gained a newfound affinity for this area, after shipping the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em WPT DeepStacks event during the Lucky Hearts Poker Open (Seminole Hard Rock).  The win was worth $220,238, which stands as the largest cash on his resume.  Baumstein now has over $1,866,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, and ahead of future series in the area, he decided to arrive a little earlier than planned.  

Scott jumped into the field after dinner break, and has already been able to run his stack up to 55,000.  A result in this event would go down as his first a the Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker Room.

Scott Baumstein - 55,000 (68bb)
