Danielle Bastarache (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

There aren't many players in the field that feel more "at home" playing in this room than Danielle Bastarache (Ft. Lauderdale, FL).  Whether it's a tournament during a series, a daily tournament during the week, or a "special" event like this one...Danielle is most likely in attendance.  Bastarache has over $106,000 in live tournament earnings, and while a bulk of that number came from a huge score at Hard Rock Hollywood (2012 SHRPO - $350 NLH 2nd Place - $84,137), the rest of her resume mainly reads Isle Poker Room results.

One of Danielle's most recent scores came in January, when she finished runner-up in the ever popular $40 No Limit Hold'em $10,000 GTD, a "daily" event that normally attracts fields well over (300) entries.  That finish earned just just under $2,050, which was her largest score in almost two years (recorded).  Danielle is off to a strong start this afternoon, having already turned her 20,000 starting stack into over 70,000.

Bastarache heads a group of players in this field that would be considered "everyday" Isle Poker Room tournament players:

Barry Cohen

Frank Scala

Jeffrey Silverstein

Francois Gagne

Peter Odiot
