Alex Nguyen (Coral Springs, FL)

Alex Nguyen (Coral Springs, FL) is another local player who shares time playing both cash and tournaments.  Nguyen has over $147,000 in live tournament earnings over (23) results, with over half of those cashes coming here at the Isle Poker Room.  Alex's name may be one that followers of the blog will remember, having reached the final table of the 2016 Isle Poker Open $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event.  Nguyen had to deal with a super strong final table that day, sharing the felt with Isaiah Goldman, Sam Panzica, Joshua Hillock, and Edward Novak.  He would end up finishing in fifth place for $31,770, which happened to be the largest tournament score of his career.  Nguyen is coming off a successful WSOPC series at PBKC, cashing in three events and earning just over $40,000.  Just as the first table int the field breaks, we continue to spot more notables across the room:
