FSPC Event #9 (Day 2): Erik Nomberg Out In 5th Place ($15,769), As Boulais Scores The Knockout

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #9 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/40,000)
Total Event #9 Entries: 341
Event #9 Players Remaining: 3


With Erik Nomberg's (Dix Hills, NY) fifth place finish, he would earn the fourth largest tournament cash of his career.

Joe Boulais would open with a raise to 75,000, with action folding around to Erik Nomberg in the big blind.  Nomberg three-bet to 240,000 (with just over 500,000 behind), with Boulais four-bet shoving. Erik snapped, and the cards were tabled:

Nomberg: A Q
Boulais: 3♠ 3♣

Runout: 7♠ 7 2♣ 8 4

Nomberg would whiff the flop, but the paired board helped to bring outs on the turn, as an over-card came to Boulais's pocket pair.  Erik was rooting for an eight on the river (as well), but the four would seal his elimination.
