Event 1 (Flight 1G): Just Padding The Numbers Now

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 179

Event 1 numbers heading into today's flights
The attendance for this opening event of the 2017 Battles At The Beach has been better than expected, and coming into the day, the field only needed to average (76) entries per flight to reach the $125,000 guarantee.  

It only took four levels of Flight 1F to reach that number, meaning everything additional for the rest of the day (including tonight's flight) will just be bloating the prize pool.  This flight will be the largest to date by the time the registration window is closed, potentially reaching (200) total entries.

As mentioned in earlier coverage, there are many different properties to play poker in Florida, so this showing is just a testament to the great tournaments (and tournament series) here at the Isle Casino Poker Room.  The payouts will not be released until all flights have been made official (later this evening), but we are looking at what could be a first place prize well north of $30,000...for a $175 investment!!
