Event 1 (Flight A): The Calm Before The Storm

Event 1 ($150 Monster Stack NLH)
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Flight A Entries: 69

The Event 1 trophy of the 2016 Isle Poker Open is a good looking one, but
players are likely more interested in the five-figure score that will come
along with a win in this opening event

Players are currently on their second (10) minute break of the day, and will be returning to Level 9 and blinds of 500/1,000/100.  The talk around the room has surrounded the impending weather (Hurricane Matthew), and while Florida still sits in a state of uncertainty, you can be certain that any news pertaining to poker room announcements will be found here on the blog.

When players return to their seats, it will also signify the closing of registration for Flight A, with numbers as followed:

Total Flight A Entries: 69

Flight A Players Remaining: 37

Prize Pool (Flight A): $8,050

The second of three flights for the day will be beginning at the top of the hour (3:00pm), but before that starts, we will take a look at some of the familiar Isle Poker Room faces in the crowd.
