Isle Open Event #11 (Day 2): Figueroa Flushes Away Joshua Kay, Now Seven Away From The Money

2018 Isle Open | Event #11
$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($300,000 GTD)
Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/5,000)
Event #11 Entries: 267
Event #11 Players Remaining: 41

Down to less than 100,000 about an hour before dinner, Victor Figueroa (Miami, FL) is now close to 500,000, after eliminating Joshua Kay short of the money.

Just a few hands back from break, Victor Figueroa opened with a raise to 11,000, with action folding around to Joshua Kay (from the small blind).  Kay three-bet to 45,000, with Victor making the call, as the two saw a flop of K♠ Q♠ 9.  Kay led for 40,500, and after about a minute in the tank, Victor announced he was all-in (enough to cover Kay).  Joshua peered back at his cards, and made the call:

Kay: QQ (middle set)
Figueroa: 8♠ 9♠ (pair and flush draw)

Turn: 6 
River: 2♠

Victor Figueroa - 470,000
Joshua Kay - Eliminated
