Event 1 (Flight 1C): Rule Of Thirds

"Battles At The Beach"

Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)

Level 2 (Blinds 50/100)

Total Flight 1C Entries: 41

"Rule of thirds" is a photography term, and is the basic idea of composition.  It is essentially dividing an image into three horizontal and vertical sections.  For the post's title, it's referring to the group of three notables photographed in this early field.  The pace of entry is just behind yesterday's Flight 1A (when ended up with 107 entries), but there looks to be a steady stream of players heading to the tournament area.

Forget the hoodie...toss the headphones...no need for an iPad...Antonio Albanes (Hollywood, FL) just rocks the "groovy" shades at the table.  Albanes only rocks the shades when he is in a hand, taking them on and off each time a hand is being dealt.  Antonio doesn't have much a tournament resume to research, as he boasts just one result on Hendon Mob, a 36th place finish during the opening event of the 2015 SHRPO ($3,095).

Michael Hefley (San Diego, CA) is a familiar name to followers of the blog, and a familiar face to anyone who plays "daily" events here at the Isle.  Hefley was first introduced on the blog during Event 1 coverage of the 2016 Isle Poker Open.  Hefley reached the final table of that event, finishing in 4th place, and earning his career highlighting score of $7,641.  Michael followed that up with a cash in the 2017 Isle Poker Classic, and is looking to notch a score in his third straight series.

Glen Canelstein (Coconut Creek, FL) has been getting lots of "blog love" over the last few series, but his tournament "claim to fame" actually came during a standalone event in December.  Canelstein was part of a final table chop during the $75,000 GTD "Structure Beast," earning a career highlighting score of $5,015.  Glen has been a fixture in the Isle Poker tournament scene, and is looking to best his effort in the 2017 Isle Poker Classic, in which he cashed in two events.
