"Structure Beast:" Faces In The Crowd

The "Structure Beast" field continues to grow, as we are now over (130) entries.  While there are more notables faces in the tournament crowd, there is one "notable" that's in the room that deserves mention (who is playing cash).  Jerry Wong (Plattsburgh, NY) may be originally from New York, but he now calls Florida home, and is back in action here at the Isle.  Jerry's name should be familiar to anyone who follows poker, coming off his final table finish at the WSOP Main Event.  There were throngs of players watching the ESPN coverage here on the big screens, including numerous players that were remaining in the Isle Poker Open Championship Event (Day 2).  Jerry ended up finishing in 8th place for a career highlighting score of $1,100,076.  It's great to have Jerry back in the room, and we can now send our formal "Isle Poker" congratulations his way.

Back to the tournament at hand, players are currently on their first break of the day, and will be returning to Level 6 and blinds of 150/300/25.

Albert Barney (Pompano Beach, FL) is primarily a cash game player, but that hasn't stopped him from amassing a recorded tournament resume over $11,000 in earnings.  Three of Barney's largest cashes have come at Coconut Creek, with his last Isle tournament cash coming this past June (Isle June "Monster Stack").

We mentioned Albert Barney's tournament cashes coming at Coconut Creek, and if you've ever played in their poker room, then you will recognize our next notable, Andres Ramirez.  Ramirez is a dealer at the casino's poker room, but is using his day off today to "flip the tables" on the players he usually pitches cards to.

Dave Albertson is a mainstay in most every tournament that is run here at the Isle, and has a pretty solid track record to show for it.  Albertson has just under $180,000 in career recorded earnings, but we can only estimate how much more that number would be, have the "daily" tournament results been posted to Hendon Mob years earlier.
