Tuesday, January 31st: Wrapping Up January With "Monster Stack" And "Tuesday $10K"

If January's poker action is a sign of things to come, than 2017 is looking to shape up as something really special at the Isle Casino Poker Room.  There were (16) players crowned "champion" during the 2017 Isle Poker Classic (January 2nd-22nd), an incredible amount of money won from the "Spin To Win" promotion, the introduction of new tournaments to the daily schedule, and that's just naming a few of the highlights to start the year.  

Before we close the books on the first month of the year, there is one more action packed day on the schedule to talk about.  Tuesday's tournament action sees two of the most popular tournaments return, with the "Monster Stack" ($100 No Limit Hold'em $2,000 GTD) in the afternoon, and the "Tuesday $10K" ($40 No Limit Hold'em $10,000 GTD).

Yesterday's headlining tournament, the "Structure Beast" ($150 No Limit Hold'em $20,000 GTD), attracted a total of (197) entries, eclipsing the posted guarantee and officially ending with a prize pool of $22,655.  The posted first place prize was over $7,000, but the event would end in a final table chop, with Arie Ben-Mayor (Parkland, FL) earning the "winner's share" ($2,780).  There were a handful of very familiar names involved in the deal, including Bryce McVay (3rd Place), Irwin Block (6th Place), Alberto Niebla (7th Place), Karin Powsner (8th Place), and John Palace (10th Place).  The evening event from Monday ($130 No Limit Hold'em $2,000 GTD) also ended in a deal, with Stephen Smith, David Campiglia, and Paul Mitchell chopping up the $2,000 prize pool three ways.
