FSPC Event #4 (Day 2): Thomas Puccio Triples Up, After Grinding Short Stack For Hours

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #4 | $360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/20,000)
Total Event #4 Entries: 864
Event #4 Players Remaining: 24

Thomas Puccio (Miami Beach, FL) had been grinding a super short stack for most of the afternoon, with his patience finally paying off just moments ago.

Thomas Puccio (Miami Beach, FL) was doing his best manage a stack of less than ten big blinds for over an hour, and with the blinds at 8,000/16,000 (this was at the end of Level 21), Puccio would shove for 96,000.  Michael Marks would then reshove for 260,000, with Paul Shafran shoving as well, having both players covered.  Action folded behind, and the cards would be tabled:

Puccio: 5♠ 5♣
Marks: A K♣
Shafran: K K♠

Runout: J♠ 5♣ 4 2♠ 9♠

"This is my lucky hand," Puccio said, as he stood from his chair and prepared for the runout.  A loud clap could be heard when the flop came down, with a big "woo-hoo" once his hand was good.  Thomas received 96,000 from both Marks and Shafran, while Shafran eliminated Michael Marks in the side pot.

Paul Shafran - 355,000 (17bb)
Thomas Puccio - 320,000 (16bb)
Michael Marks (25th Place $1,560)
