Poker players are extremely lucky in Florida, especially here in South Florida, as there are numerous poker rooms to choose from in a small radius. While there are tournaments going on at each and every property, many of the bigger named Florida tournament pros are making their way here, looking to grab their share of this massive prize pool.

| John Palace's (Jupiter, FL) tournament resume started two years ago, and it's been trending upwards at a pretty steady rate. His yearly earnings went up from 2015 to 2016, and at the rate he's going this calendar year, he may eclipse those combined marks before the summer. Palace has recorded (7) cashes since the calendar year started, included two Isle Poker Classic results, and three Lucky Hearts Poker Open results. |

| Ory Hen (Cooper City, FL) could be considered the Florida tournament poker "OG," with over (111) recorded cashes in his career. Hen has over $1,113,000 in career earnings, and (7) outright wins on his resume, including a WSOPC ring and a title here at the Isle (2010 Isle Poker Open - $1,100 No Limit Hold'em $40,527). Ory is the picture of tournament consistency, ranking in the top 800 in cashes each year since 2014 (and that's out of a player pool in the millions). |
 |
| It's not easy to find true "friends" in the poker community, but having someone to talk hand histories, strategies, and just everything poker is such a positive for players. Bryce McVay (Jupiter, FL) and the above mentioned John Palace have been friends long before poker, and the two just happened to both take interests in playing for more than recreation. McVay has over $178,000 in live tournament earnings, and has cracked the top 900 in cashes both in 2015 and 2016 (again, that's out of a player pool in the millions). |
