FSPC Event #4 (Flight 1A): Slow Going On The Bubble, Williams Surviving...Now Thriving

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #4 | $360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 15 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/4,000)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 155
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 23

For Justin Williams, patience was what worked, as he folded...and folded...and folded, until his playable hands began to hold up.

For the past three levels, Justin Williams had been holding onto a stack that never eclipsed ten big blinds, but managed to survive.  He would get it all-in behind...and chop.  He would get it all-in with 8♦ 8♠ versus J♣ 10♥, and watch the board runout J♠ 7♣ 4♥ 9♦ 10♠.  Justin's nub of a stack has suddenly grown to over 130,000, after the most recent elimination of Mike Sexton.  

There are now (22) players remaining, with the field just one elimination away from hand-for-hand starting.

Justin Williams - 130,000 (32bb)
