FSPC Event #14 (Day 2): Failed Bluff Sees Christopher Papastratis Out In 21st Place ($6,784)

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 21 (Blinds 8,000/16,000/16,000)
Total Event #14 Entries: 564
Event #14 Players Remaining: 20

Christopher Papastratis (Davie, FL) tried the good old zero equity bluff, but he couldn't get Dmitri Perfilev to lay down his pocket tens.

At Table 3, Dmitri Perfilev and Christopher Papstratis would be on a flop of J♠ 9 6♣, with Dmitri haven bet 25,000.  Papastratis raised all-in (for 194,000), with Dmitri agonizing over the decision.  Perfilev did have 600,000 behind, but knew that if he called and lost, his stack would shrink down to just over twenty bigs. He eventually made the call, and quickly exposed his cards:

Perfilev: 10 10♣
Papastratis: K 2♣

Turn: 5♠
River: 5

Papastratis would sheepishly table his hand, knowing that he'd need a special runout to somehow win the hand.  The turn and river both bringing fives would seal Christopher's fate, as he'd be eliminated in 21st place ($6,784).
