FSPC Event #4 (Day 2): Jay Convente Eliminated In 35th Place, Francis Margaglione Gets Value From It

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #4 | $360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 19 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/10,000)
Total Event #4 Entries: 864
Event #4 Players Remaining: 33

Francis Margaglione (Davie, FL) may have lucked out that Armando Del Pozo didn't three-bet after Jay Convente's shove, as he was able to see a flop with marginal holding (only to flop trips).

Jay Convente (Jupiter, FL) started the day as the second shortest stack, but managed to stay alive through the first ninety-minutes of play.  He'd go all-in for his final 50,000, with Armando Del Pozo flatting, and action folding around to Francis Margaglione.  Francis made the call as well, and the three players would see a flop of A A♠ 2♠.  The two active players would check, and the dealer then followed with the 6♣ on the turn.  Margaglione casually tossed out a 50,000 bet, with Del Pozo making the call, as they watched the 4 complete the board.  Francis pushed forward a stack of 100,000, sending Armando into the tank, as he counted down his remaining stack (he had just over 300,000 remaining).  

Eventually, Armando would announce a call, and watched as Francis tabled A♣ 5.  Convente tossed over his J♠ J♣, with Del Pozo asking if he had to show his hand.  He voluntarily flipped up Q♠ Q, but he holdings would only be good for second place.  Margaglione eliminated Convente, who earned his largest lifetime cash, getting $1,315 for 35th place.

Francis Margaglione - 870,000 (87bb)
Armando Del Pozo - 140,000 (14bb)
