FSPC Event #14 (Day 2): James Salmon Eliminated In 22nd Place ($5,634), As Aces Get Cracked Once Again

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: 21


James Salmon (Davie, FL) was looking to write a pretty special story, as he was able to build up a stack of 40,000 (at 10,000 big blind) to over 500,000...but saw things fall apart against Miguel Moreno.

Action at Table 3 would fold around to James Salmon (Davie, FL), who opened to 35,000.  Miguel Moreno was next to act, and he'd push forward a three-bet to 130,000.  The players remaining folded behind, with Salmon four-betting to 230,000, and Moreno announcing himself all-in.  James quickly made the call, and the hands would be tabled:

Salmon: A A♠
Moreno: K♠ K

Runout: K 7 4♣ 6 7♣

From just 50,000 a few levels ago, to the potential of cracking one-million, Salmon had to love the position he was in...until Moreno flopped top set.  The turn and river would bring no miracles for James, who exited the tournament in 22nd place ($5,634).

Miguel Moreno - 1,400,000 (87bb)
