Ido Ashkenazi (Queens, NY)

To say it's been a breakout year is just a slight stretch, being that Ido Ashkenazi has over $447,000 in career earnings since 2010.  But if sure has been a memorable one for Ido, who earned his first six-figure score, the largest to date on his resume ($158,304).  That score came this August, when Ashkenazi chopped the $570 ($1,000,000 Guarantee) NLH event during the SHRPO.  

Prior to that result, Ashkenazi's highlighting finish came in 2013, when he finished in third place during the WSOP Circuit Main in Atlantic City ($78,659).  Ido's best Isle Poker score came last year during this exact event (4th place - $23,220), a result he'd like hope to eclipse this time around.

While there is a lot of traveling to the Northeast in his schedule, it's very likely that Ashkenazi will be in attendance for the $1,500 Main Event of this series.
