FSPC Event #14 (Day 2): Day 2 Concludes After The Elimination Of Joshua Kay In 19th Place ($6,784)

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/20,000)
Total Event #14 Entries: 564
Event #14 Players Remaining: 18

Joshua Kay's final hand was a mere formality, as he was all-in for less than five big blinds.  He fate would be sealed just a few hands prior, when he called the all-in of Sergio Giha, with the two holding very similar sized stacks.  The two were racing, with Kay holding J J♠, agains the A K♣ of Giha.  The board would run out 105♠ 7♣ 9♠ K♠, giving the win to Giha on the river.  

Joshua would be left with just 50,000, and actually found a double against Ido Ashkenazi.  Four hands later, after Steve Karp opened to 40,000, Kay would go all-in for his remaining stack.  Karp quickly made the call, with his AA♣ besting Joshua's A♠ Q.  Kay would earn $6,784 for his 19th place finish, with the tournament clock paused after his elimination.

The remaining players are now getting their new seating assignments for tomorrow, and will then bag their chips.  Day 3 begins tomorrow at 12:00pm, with the official Day 3 chip counts and starting assignments to be posted shortly.
