Sahadeo Seenarraine (Tamarac, FL)

If you look at Sahadeo's Seenarraine's (Tamarac, FL) tournament resume, you'll see that 2016 was a "light" year in terms of tournament play.  The year prior (2015), Seenarraine recorded (10) cashes, all together totaling $5,394.  Every single one of Sehadeo's tournament cashes came here at the Isle Poker Room, and for all he's given to this room, you can say the room "gave back" last year.  The "Spin To Win" promotion started last summer, and has quickly become the most popular high hand promotion in the room.  Players have the opportunity to spin the "money wheel" and walk away with $25,000.  In order to be eligible to win the $25,000, the qualifying high hand must be a royal flush, and the spin must then land on the jackpot slot.

Things weren't always like that though, and when the wheel hosted a $15,000 slot, Seenarraine was the first (and only) player to hit the wheel for that amount.  Sahadeo is someone you'll always see playing cash in the room on a daily basis, but this is the first we've seen him enter a tournament since the blog's inception.
