Event 1 (Flight K): Zaydman Look To Build Off Solid September

Event 1 ($150 Monster Stack NLH)
Level 5 (Blinds 200/400)
Total Flight K Entries: 106

Elliot Zaydman (Coconut Creek, FL) decided to "take his talents" to Florida
just over (15) months ago.  From the looks of his resume, it was a solid career
choice...amassing lifetime earnings over $500,000.

One of the first players spotted in the field this afternoon was Elliot Zaydman (Coconut Creek, FL), a tournament grinder who got his start at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ. Elliot was a low-to-mid stakes tournament player for most of his early career, but has a breakout 2014, where he earned over $150,000 (his first year in Florida).  While his career highlighting score came at the Hollywood Poker Open (Las Vegas) for over $71,000, Zaydman does have two five-figure scores here at the Isle over the past two years.

Elliot was part of an eleven-way chop during the 2015 PPC Isle Casino Winter Series Main Event, a cash that saw him take home $18,600.  A year prior, he final tabled Event 11 of the 2014 Florida State Poker Championships ($1,600 NLH Bounty), finishing third and earning himself $10,150.

Zaydman highlights a list of early familiar faces in the field, those of which include:

Luke Rosenberg
Thomas Gari
Tom Gity
Tylor Durden
Richard Bowers
Ian Cohen
