Monday, January 2nd: It's "Satellite City" As Isle Classic Approaches

Last night's "daily" tournament was a $75 No Limit Hold'em event ($2,500 GTD), which attracted a total of (57) entries and boasted a prize pool of $3,310.  Things would end with a heads-up chop between Pedro Palacio (Delray Beach, FL) and Jason Harvey (Davie, FL).  Palacio, a name that frequented the blog during the 2015 Isle Poker Open, took home $1,152 as the "declared winner."  Harvey earned himself $900 for the runner-up finish, a bankroll boost that couldn't come at a better time, as the 2016 Isle Classic begins tomorrow.

One of the first "major" events on the Isle Classic schedule is Event #2, which is a $360 No Limit Hold'em tournament with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament has an incredible structure, with (40) minute levels from Levels 1-6, then transitioning to (50) minutes through the conclusion of the event. Today's tournament schedule focuses on Event #2, as two satellites are offered for players to gain entry into the tournament for a fraction of the price.
