"Structure Beast" play has just entered Level 7, with blinds going up to 200/400/50. The field (and prize pool) continues to grow, as we currently sit with (146) total entries, and current prize pool of $16,790. Since the blog's inception last month, we have come across many different (and interesting) pairings in the tournament fields. We have the Caraballo twins (Hector and Nestor) who play tons of tournaments each month, and there was also the Shah siblings (Michelle and Sean), who made deep runs in respective events during the Isle Poker Open. Today we have a husband and wife pairing in the field, and Linda and Stephen Lipkins sit only a few tables away from each other.

| Isle Poker notable Tom Gity (Pompano Beach, FL) took a hand off to smile for a photo with Patty Conrad and Linda Lipkins. Linda is one half of the husband/wife combo we just mentioned, and currently has the better of the two tournament resumes between husband and wife. Linda has over $83,000 in career earnings (with $45,000 coming during a 2015 Venetian Deepstack event). |
 |
| Stephen Lipkins (Boca Raton, FL) has a little catching up to do if he wants to surpass his wife's career earnings, but he sits with a very respectable $46,000 in recorded tournament earnings. Stephen's last recorded cash here at the Isle came earlier this year, during May's $100,000 GTD "Bankroll Maker," where he finished 40th for $420. |
 |
| Stephen Moreno (Miami, FL) is another familiar face in the crowd, and a name you may remember from the Isle Poker Open. Moreno was part of the nine-way chop of Event #5 ($570 No Limit Hold'em). Moreno would earn his career best cash that night, taking some $22,000 for his efforts. |
 |
| While Michael Hefley's tournament resume only has three recorded cashes on it, they are all over $1,000, with his last cash earning him over $7,000. Healey reached the final table of Event #1 ($150 No Limit Hold'em) during the Isle Poker Open, eventually finishing in 4th place and taking home $7,641. |
