Juan Ferrer (Boisbriand, FL) is once again featured on the blog, managing to climb the leaderboard, with the help of a sizable triple-up.

Players were standing at Table 3, as we once again had a multi-way all-in, this time on a flop that read 10♥ 6♦ 5♦.  When the three hands were tabled, it would be Juan Ferrer holding 10♠ 5♥ (flopped two pair), against A♦ 3♦ (Tim Hartmann) and A♣ 10♠.  Ferrer would need to fade a number of cards on the turn and river to survive, which happened to pan out, as the turn (2♥) and river (8♣) ran out clean.  Ferrer would more than triple-up in the hand, ending up with a stack over 115,000.

Juan Ferrer - 118,000 (98bb)

Players still have more than half of the level to play, and will be heading on their final break of the day at it's conclusion.  Those still left will return to Level 13, with new blinds of 1,000/2,000/300.

Jose Parra (Hialeah Gardens, FL) took the verbal jabs in stride, but eventually decided to counterpunch, after comments wouldn't cease.

Just as we started the lap to collect chip counts, a hand was unfolding at Table 3, between Tom Gity and Jose Parra.  Both players were already towards the top of the chip counts, and would see a flop of 10♠ J♣ 2♥.  Gity would bet 9,000, which was called by Parra, with the dealer then following with the 9♣ on the turn.  Gity continued his aggressive line, tossing forward a bet of 18,000, which was once again called by Parra.  After the dealer paired the board on the river (with the 10♣), Gity asked to see how much Jose had left (Tom had Jose covered).  Tom announced that he was all-in, which got Parra out of his seat, but didn't end up deterring him.  Parra made the call, and quickly turned over Q♦ 10♥ (having made three tens of the river).  

Tom tossed his cards in frustration, with the dealer tabling his hand, since it was an all-in and call situation (Q♠ J♠).  "That was the only card that could help you," Gity said aloud, "how do you consistently get so lucky?"  The verbal jabs continued between both players, until Gity was eliminated, just two hands later.

Jose Parra - 200,000 (200bb)

"That's right, put me back on the blog...I'm running hot," Stanley Aufseeser said, as we were getting ready to take his photograph.

Towards the later stages of Level 7, numerous players could be seen standing at Table 5, the clear international sign for "something big is going on."  Big things were definitely happening, as there was a five-way all-in unfolding, on a flop of 2♥ 4♦ 5♠:

Stanley Aufseeser: 6♠ 6♣ (pair of sixes and gut-shot)
A. Nonymous: K♠ K♥ (overpair to board)
B. Nonymous: 4♠ 4♣ (middle set)
C. Nonymous: 7♦ 9♦ (big hopes)
D. Nonymous: A♣ 10♠ (wheel draw)

Turn: 8
River: 3

"I need a six or three...six or three," Stanley Aufseeser said aloud, as the dealer was ready to put out the river (maybe not realizing that a six would give one of his opponents a straight).  Aufseeser would be drawing to one of four threes remaining in the deck, which would fall on the river.  "Wooo-hoooo," Stanley screamed from his seat, celebrating the huge win.

Stanley Aufseeser - 85,000 (141bb)

Players will be taking their second break of the day at the end of this level, and once the cards are back in the air for Level 9, registration will be closed for Flight 1A.

Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 58

Juan Ferrer (Boisbriand, FL) chose not to three-bet his hand pre-flop, which may have helped disguise the strength when he went all-in.

James Tomblin was the most recent Flight 1A entry, and would be seated at Table 9.  Just two hands after sitting down, Tomblin would limp from early position, with Nigel Murray raising to 2,000 (next to act).  Murray's raise would be called in three spots, including Juan Ferrer in the big blind, and the original limper Tomblin.  Four players would see a flop of A♦ 9♣ 2♣, with Ferrer leading out into the field, with a wager of 9,000.  James Tomblin then shoved for the rest of his starting stack (about 17,950), with players folding around to Ferrer, who made the call.

"I just have ace-queen," Tomblin said to Ferrer, as he tabled his hand face up (A♠ Q♣).  Ferrer responded by turning over A♥ K♦, and after the turn and river would both bring sevens, Tomlbin would be exiting the table.  While James headed to the cage to re-enter, Ferrer scooped up the sizable pot, which brings him up to 55,000.

Juan Ferrer - 55,000 (110bb)

Most people are happy if they leave Las Vegas with the same amount of money they went there with...well Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL) found himself more than $25,000 richer on the way home.

One notable absence from the month's first multi ($175 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) was that of Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL), who rarely misses a "special" event here at the Isle Poker Room.  Levitt happened to be in Las Vegas during the two weeks of June, which is why he wasn't in attendance, but he did record some nice results while there.

Levitt started his trip with a nice run in the $600 No Limit Hold'em event during the Deepstack Championship Poker Series at the Venetian, earning $1,806 for his 66th place finish.  Just two days later, Scott would record his highlighting score of the trip, finishing runner-up in another $600 No Limit Hold'em during the same series ($20,860).  His trip concluding with a twelfth place finish in the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event that was part of the 2018 Wynn Summer Classic.  Levitt would see a return of $4,160 for the result, which brought his combined total for the trip to $26,826.

Scott is now seating at Table 3, and hopes to continue the good run in one of his favorite poker rooms.

Jackie Lee (Palm Beach, FL) is happy to be the early leader, but he knows that this doesn't mean success in the later stages of the day.

At Table 3, Jackie Lee (Palm Beach, FL) was heads up against William Swicicki on the river, with the two staring down at a board of K♥ J♣ 6♠ 8♥ 6♦.  With almost 10,000 in the pot, William shoved for just over 15,000, and watched as Lee quickly made the call (with A♠ K♠).  Swicicki turned over J♥ 10♥, having flopped a pair and turned a flush draw, but whiffed on the river.  His attempt to push Lee off his hand was unsuccessful, and William would exit the table.  Lee chipped up to over 50,000 with the pot, and is one of the early chip leaders in the field.

Jackie Lee - 51,000 (255bb)

Players are about to take their first break of the day (at the end of this level), and will be returning to Level 5, with new blinds of 150/300/50.

Posted below is the official schedule for the 2018 Florida State Poker Championship, which is the tenth anniversary of the prestigious series.  There are (17) primary events over the course of three weeks in July, including four "showcased" events, headed by the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em FSPC Main Event ($500,000 GTD).  The main event is one of the first "post-WSOP" majors, and has grown in popularity (and numbers) each and every year.  

Leading up to the main event, there are three other tournaments which carry six-figure guarantees, starting with Event #1.  The $175 No Limit Hold'em opening event has a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, and eight opening flights for players to choose from.  Running from July 5th through July 9th, the event is sure to see one of the largest fields of the series.   Just a few days after Event #1's conclusion, Event #4 follows with the series' second six-figure guaranteed prize pool, as the $360 No Limit Hold'em event boasts a $200,000 guarantee.  With six flights running from July 12th through July 15th, the tournament will likely see the second largest prize pool of the series (behind the main event).  The third of four "showcased" events is Event #9, as the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em tournament offers yet another $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.  There are four opening flights that run from July 19th through July 22nd, with players returning on July 23rd for Day 2.

In between those events, there are thirteen other options for players to get their hands on a FSPC trophy, including four bounty events, an Omaha 8B Hi/Lo tournament, a Seniors Championship, and the addition of a six-max format.  

There is some excited news to follow in regards to the series, as both Scotty Nguyen and Vanessa Russo will be joining us for the FSPC $1,500 Main Event.  While they are in attendance, there will be a schedule meet and greet/autograph session (times and dates to be determined).  Structure sheets and satellite schedule will also be released in the upcoming weeks.

The evening tournament was a bit of a "throwback," as the $60 No Limit Hold'em tournament returned to the schedule, this time boasting a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool.  That number would be surpassed very early, and once the registration period was closed, there would be (53) entries in the field.  The $2,385 prize pool was spread across seven pay spots, with action playing down to the point where things were heads-up.  Fabio Perales (Sunrise, FL) and Louis Calabrese (Pompano Beach, FL) then made a deal, with both seeing a nice return on their $60 investment.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Fabio Perales (Sunrise, FL) $754
2. Louis Calabrese (Pompano Beach, FL) $653
3. Kevin Montagna (Lauderhill, FL) $322
4. Arlene Vazquez (Parkland, FL) $227
5. Robert Kuznietz (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $179
6. Roberto Desogos (Pompano Beach, FL) $143
7. Ronnie Shuman (Trenton, NJ) $107

No limit returns at 6:00pm, with a $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty."  This tournament was phased from the schedule years back, but is now making it's triumphant return.  Players in the event will be sitting down to starting stacks of 16,000 units, and playing levels that last (20) minutes.  There is a $50 bounty for every player elimination, just adding to the potential return for deep runs.

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.
